What are the reasons for the "information island" of enterprise informatization?

Solving the problems encountered by enterprises in the process of production and operation is the main driving force to promote the informatization construction of enterprises. Due to the division of management functions and the refinement of organization, Dao information system is developed around different management stages and functions such as purchasing system, production system, sales system and financial system. These systems often divide some complete business chains into management units.

With the continuous development of information technology, the development time of each system lags behind, the experience and service scope of the development team are limited, the platform and tools of system development are not unified, and the management process and management system lack norms and standards, so the compatibility and integration of various information systems become a problem. Some "disadvantages" are rapidly emerging, among which the important problem is that different systems, different applications and different technical platforms trap enterprises in "information islands" where information is difficult to fully circulate. The problem of "information island" will not disappear with the improvement of informatization level. With the introduction of various application systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM) and Enlerprwe portal, the problem of "information island" is becoming more and more serious.

The existence of the problem of "information island" and the reasons why it is difficult to solve mainly include the following aspects. (1) The stage of informatization development, whether it is enterprise informatization or government informatization, has a development process from primary to intermediate and then to advanced. In the early days of informatization, people can easily use computers from word processing and report printing. Then develop or introduce an application system around a business work. These scattered or imported application systems generally do not consider data standards or information sharing in a unified way. Because enterprises urgently demand the goal of "practicality and quickness", "information islands" appear constantly.

(2) Misunderstandings For a long time, the misunderstanding of "emphasizing hard over soft, emphasizing network over data" generally exists in enterprises and government departments. Willing to work hard and spend a lot of money on equipment selection and network construction. It has even become "chasing new people", which makes network equipment "changed one crop after another", causing great waste, that is, it does not pay attention to the development and utilization of information resources, but turns a blind eye to the problem of "information island", which makes it exist for a long time without being solved.

(3) The traditional concept of informatization is post-industrialization, which is an inevitable process of the development of large-scale industrial production to a certain stage. If we want to use information technology to promote industrialization before industrialization is realized, we need to think first. The ideology of small-scale peasant economy is an obstacle to industrialization and informationization. The ideology of small-scale peasant economy is not overcome, and the information obtained and mastered by itself is regarded as part of its own interests and authority, which makes it difficult for different units or even different departments of a unit to enjoy information. The narrow concept of closed departments and private information in the small-scale peasant economy makes some people not only fail to solve the problem of "information islands", but even try their best to consolidate the existence of "information islands".

The emergence of "information islands" is not terrible. What is terrible is that it always stays in the spreading stage of "information islands", and the problem of "information islands" has not been solved, and new "information islands" are constantly emerging. At present, the main problem of informatization construction in many enterprises and government departments in China is not communication network, computer selection and website construction, but how to turn scattered and isolated information into networked information resources, integrate many "isolated" information systems, and realize the rapid circulation and enjoyment of information.

The only way to solve the information loneliness is to use bpm platform as the data center to support it. The mainstream is myapps, h3, k2 and so on.
