Management and construction of enterprise informatization

Management and construction of enterprise informatization

To survive and develop, modern enterprises must carry out information management and construction. In the process of enterprise information management and construction, they should take the enterprise itself as the main body and cannot let IT vendors take their place. In the process of enterprise informatization construction, we should do what we can according to our own actual situation. The following is an article about enterprise information management and construction. Welcome to read!

I. Introduction

With the continuous development and progress of society and the continuous development of electronic information technology which combines communication, computer and information processing technology, information has become an important link that determines the survival, competition and progress of enterprises. As the most dynamic productive force of our time? Information is having a great and far-reaching impact on the development of enterprises.

Enterprise informatization refers to the process that an enterprise applies advanced information products and technologies such as communication, computer and Internet to all aspects of production, management and operation, and fully integrates and utilizes all aspects of information resources inside and outside the enterprise, so as to improve the management, operation and production level and enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise. From the past practice abroad, it is proved that compared with the traditional economy, the economic growth promoted by information technology has more advantages. It can achieve high growth and low inflation and create a large number of employment opportunities, which is the ideal state that economists dream of. Whether the informatization construction of enterprises can be done well is related to the survival of enterprises and the future competitiveness. Therefore, the realization of enterprise information management and construction is the only way for modern enterprises.

Second, the current problems in enterprise information management

According to the industry survey of key enterprises in China, it is found that there are many problems in Chinese enterprises, such as imperfect information institutions, low degree of informatization, insufficient investment in informatization and high cost. Specifically, there are mainly the following problems:

1. Managers are confused about the cognitive process of management informatization.

At present, the managers of many enterprises in China simply understand the so-called information management as a simple operation of computers, and have not realized the real enterprise information management and construction at all. They don't realize that this is a huge, complex and systematic project, which leads to the failure of enterprise information construction to receive the due results. In fact, enterprise informatization construction is not only the construction of computer network and the development of programs, but also the reorganization of business processes and the construction of new management systems.

2. Information resource database can't meet the needs of construction.

The information resources of some enterprises are not unified and consistent. The information collection channel is single and inflexible, which makes the information source not comprehensive enough, the transmission channel not smooth enough, and it is more difficult to process the collected information, which makes the resource potential unable to give full play. The essence of enterprise information management and construction is a higher-level management reorganization to improve the competitiveness of enterprises. It is impossible to succeed only by attaching importance to technology update and equipment investment and ignoring the change of enterprise management mode, which is also the main reason why most enterprises in China are unsuccessful in information management and construction.

3. Lack of professional talents and professional service partners

At present, most of the workers engaged in enterprise informatization in China are purely technical personnel, but they lack management knowledge and cannot meet the requirements of information commercialization and incremental benefits. In addition, the operation and maintenance of the information system is more complicated, and some troubles will be encountered in the maintenance process, and there is also a lack of relevant professional consulting institutions in the market, which is not conducive to the promotion and maintenance of the information system.

4. Lack of unified command and leadership

In fact, the information management and construction of enterprises is a systematic project with long period, high risk and wide coverage, and it is a process of continuous improvement and gradual improvement. At present, some enterprises in China will encounter the dilemma of lack of unified command and leadership in the process of information management and construction, resulting in internal information power of enterprises and ultimately affecting the information management and construction process of their own enterprises.

Third, the basic steps of enterprise information construction

1. Solve the problem of enterprise basic management

At present, the most urgent problem for enterprises in China is enterprise information infrastructure. At this stage, enterprises should be prepared for enterprise informatization, that is, whether all resources within the enterprise have been digitized or informatized. It should be noted that enterprise informatization lies not in citation but in application. We should devote ourselves to the digitalization of enterprise resources and establish a unified standardization system and system to prevent the naming and coding of the same product from being inconsistent in different departments according to their own understanding.

2. Realize the integrated management of enterprises.

Enterprises should confirm whether the internal basic management is standardized and whether the basic management process is realized by information means, such as whether the production, supply and marketing business is coherent, whether the financial processing is standardized, whether it is integrated with the business processing, and whether there is a real-time and effective plan and budget. Special attention should be paid to the difference between computerization and informatization. Only by replacing manual work with computers can it be computerized, which is the primary stage of enterprise informatization, and should not be considered as the most effective use of enterprise resources. In the process of enterprise process informatization, the goal of integrated management is to reform the traditional business structure, optimize the business model based on business process, improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and obtain maximum profits. The result of informatization is to accelerate the operation of business. Unreasonable processes, norms and standards are not changed, and the result is to aggravate irrationality and waste investment.

3. Realize the utilization of external resources

By using external resources, we can effectively manage the customer relationship and supply chain of enterprises. Fierce market competition makes enterprises pay attention to the external environment, track customers' situation in time, develop the market and strengthen contact with suppliers while doing a good job of internal resources, so as to respond to the market quickly and adapt to market changes, thus gaining a leading edge.

Fourth, the problems that should be paid attention to in the process of enterprise informatization implementation

1. Creative application of information technology

The informatization demand of enterprises is not obvious, which requires enterprises to think systematically and seriously about their own tasks, missions and specific businesses. The ultimate goal of enterprise informatization construction and management is to gain competitive advantage, which requires enterprises to choose information systems according to their own needs. The information management and construction of enterprises is not a one-sided pursuit of automation, but a creative application of information technology.

2. Establish a scientific enterprise information management organization

In the process of developing enterprise informatization, too much emphasis on use control or centralized control will have a negative impact on the development of enterprises. Enterprises must establish management standards and guidelines for communications, computers and databases. At the same time, the information system must adapt to the environment of end users and meet the needs of different departments. In order to better control the information management and construction of enterprises, enterprises must deal with centralized or decentralized control such as function development, system operation, personnel training, system maintenance and database management.

3. Principles of enterprise information investment decision-making

On the surface, enterprise information management is a new information management system. In fact, it is a revolutionary change to the existing management system such as management concept, management mode and organizational structure, which has surpassed the inherent framework mode of the enterprise itself, just like ISO9000 in the quality management system, which is a standardized management system based on the enterprise value chain. The principles that enterprises should follow in information investment decision-making are practicality, long-term, effectiveness, stage and integrity. Practicality means that enterprises should combine their own actual situation when choosing information management systems, rather than blindly seeking for advanced ones, and what suits them is the best; Long-term means that the information management and construction of enterprises should dynamically consider the investment of information, not just the immediate interests; Benefit refers to the comprehensive consideration of the enterprise's own information input, and can not blindly attach importance to construction and ignore management; Staging refers to investing in information technology in enterprises in batches, accumulating experience and guiding the next stage of investment through evaluation; Integrity refers to improving the ability of enterprises in all aspects from the overall perspective.
