Implementation of Executive Information Systems in Decision Making in the Development of Branch Leadership Organizations of IPNU-IPPNU Pretek Central Java

Executive information system (EIS) is defined as a computer-based information system designed to provide executives with internal and external information that is easily accessible and relevant to management activities. The application of EIS in companies or organizations is expected to be able to help the work of leaders in making the right decisions. One of them in the development of branch leadership organizations of IPNU-IPPNU Pretek. This organization is a community organization under the auspices of Nahdlatul Ulama. Members of the student age where the state of environmental conditions and human resources that are still not considered important to technological developments. In order to maximize the role of the management information system. Members must jointly learn about the management information system. So that future activities facilitate work and can support the taking of executive holders.

Impact of portal technologies on EIS implementations in organizations in KwaZulu-Natal

Portal technologies integrate information, content and enterprise applications. Executive information systems (EIS) grew out of the information needs of top executives. Web-based technologies are causing a revisit to existing IT implementation models, including those for EIS. Some technologies include: intranet, internet, extranet, e-commerce business-to-business (B2B), e-commerce business-to-consumer (B2C), wireless application protocol (WAP) and other mobile and portal technologies. The authors conducted a survey of 31 well-established organizations in KwaZulu-Natal, which successfully implemented EIS. A validated survey instrument was administered to an EIS stakeholder in each organization surveyed. This article is a report on (a) on the activity sectors of organizations surveyed; (b) an analysis of the different commercially purchased EIS software tools and/or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software with EIS features used by stakeholders in organizations surveyed; and (c) the impact level of portal technologies on EIS implementation. The authors report that after the Intranet and Internet, portal technologies have the third highest impact on EIS implementations in organizations surveyed in KwaZulu-Natal.

Implementation of executive information systems in the client/server environment: an approach developed from the case study

Executive information system (EIS) is one of the most important information systems in and beyond the 90s. A company may achieve established goals as well as obtain competitive advantages. However, successful establishment of EIS is not an easy task. In this study, a case company is used to demonstrate how to successfully establish EIS. During the establishment process, simulation models are applied to evaluate various alternatives of EIS architecture in advance, to win the confidence and support of top managers. The result shows that simulation plays an key role in increasing the success probability of EIS.

Executive information systems: An evaluation of current UK practice

Executive information systems (EIS) have become an established part of the information systems infrastructure for large organizations. A review of how UK organizations have applied EIS was undertaken, the results from the study are presented and discussed. The findings show many successes in the implementation of EIS, such as the accessibility to managers of the organization's information resources. The monitoring of internal activity by middle management was identified as the principle application of EIS. However, to deliver their full potential, EIS need to be used by senior management to analyse the organization's strategic goals. By comparing the development methods in the study with the theoretical and experiential approaches shown in the literature, the paper shows how the techniques currently utilized could be improved to provide executives with better technological support.
