EVALUATION
OF THE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF
INFORMATION SYSTEM
Introduction and
use of corporate information systems involve risks, which are caused by the
presence of a number of previously unforeseen uncertainties. Plan for a
corporate information system is characterized by a series-parallel
implementation of the multiple stages; with the effects of the individual steps
have a big impact on both the implementation of the system in general, and on
the implementation of the next stages. Therefore, the negative results of
manifestation risks during the implementation of investments have all chances
to occur a few times, this increasing loss of their implementation.
Economic
evaluation of the project is key in making decisions about the advisability of
investing in it. At the very least,
such an assumption seems to be correct from the point of view of common sense
as well as from the point of view of the general principles of economics.
Despite this, the evaluation of the effectiveness of investments in information
technology often occurs either at the level of intuition, or do not perform.
The criteria for
determining the cost-effectiveness of the implementation of information systems
in the company, include:
– the
difference between the stated and the actual complexity of work;
– resource
savings by optimizing the process of resourcing;
– changing
the speed of passage of the same events in resources;
– a more
rapid response to events;
– increase
the investment attractiveness due to more strict control over the use of
resources;
– increase
motivation;
– significant
computational capabilities for processing large amounts of information;
– better use
of business opportunities through environmental monitoring and process
efficiency.
The effectiveness
of an information system is determined by its content and quality of
implementation, that is the result of the implementation of information systems
on the quality of the business model.
The principles of
cost-effectiveness must be translated into concrete indicators to measure
economic performance. To do this, the system requirements are formulated
evaluating the economic efficiency of the implementation of information
systems:
1.
The system of indicators
should include both financial and non-financial indicators of the condition of
their relationship with each other, and between organizational levels in the
company. The
number of indicators should be limited to the timely evaluation and
decision-making.
2.
The system of indicators should take into account the past and current
state of the business.
3.
Indicators should be useful for predicting the future of the company -
the cost or market capitalization, growth in sales and earnings.
4.
The system of indicators should be linked to company strategy and the
strategic objectives at the same time as the change in strategy may change as
the values of performance, because the system itself.
5.
The system of indicators should take into account the interests and
needs of its stakeholders - shareholders, senior management, customers, and
others.
6.
The system of indicators must be meaningful, adequate, consistent and
stable, that is, contain a logical sequence to change the system to employees
of the company have the ability to track changes and adapt. Short-term
indicators should also meet the long-term.
7.
Should be possible to combine the figures in the summary and detail in
a private performance.
8.
The introduction of a system of indicators should not cause
difficulties for the calculation of the availability of information and
additional costs.
The system of economic efficiency evaluation includes
a hierarchical view of performance indicators that reflect the conditions of
the external and internal environment of the company. In accordance with this system
are determined by the indicators of the performance of which is essential for
achieving the set strategic objectives of the study.
Thus, the
application of the proposed system performance evaluation of information
systems can significantly improve the financial performance of the project
implementation.
