HRM 3440 Lecture 15 Notes – Information Systems Planning and Aligning Corporate and IS
Goals
Introduction
• Other applications can synchronize with popular calendar and contact applications on
laptop or desktop computers.
• Applications can cost less than $1 or more than $100, including games, a compass and
maps to show your direction and location, word-processing and spreadsheet programs,
airline flight information, and much more.
• While most people purchase individual applications from authorized Web sites,
unauthorized application stores that are not supported by the smartphone or cellular
company can be used to purchase or acquire useful applications.
• It is also possible for one person to be both an individual developer and user.
• The term end-user systems development describes any systems development project in
which business managers and users assume the primary effort.
• User-developed systems range from the very small (such as a software routine to merge
form letters) to those of significant organizational value (such as customer contact
databases for the Web).
• Like any systems developer, individual developers and end users should follow the
approach and techniques of the systems development process described.
• Even if you develop your own applications, you will likely want to have an IS department
develop applications for you that are too complex or time consuming to develop on
your own.
• In this case, you will be involved in initiating systems development, discussed next.
• Information systems planning and aligning corporate and IS goals are important aspects
of any systems development project.
• Achieving a competitive advantage is often the overall objective of systems
development.
