Planning information unconstrained and uncontaminated by the IT mind-set, results in using both information and technology far better than conventional IT allows.
 |
Because systems are based on what information is instead of what computers do, systems are independent of technology. IT is turned right side up with technology required to fit information instead of fitting information to technology. |
|
We are no longer compelled to buy informationally incapable technology that cannot support information possibilities and potential. |
|
Systems are tailored through the relatively simple expedient of "mapping" the information content of a business. Keeping a system current only requires keeping the map current, eliminating such things as requirements definitions, system analysis and design, enterprise modeling, special purpose systems, package software, and application programming. |
|
Systems are created (information is mapped) in days or weeks instead of the months and years required to develop conventional systems. |
|
Systems never become obsolete having the ability to evolve and change as business and technology evolve and change. |
|
All answers possible from a businesses's information are possible from the information engine that manages it:
-
With no software development, data mining, or spreadsheet manipulation
-
Whether or not the answer was anticipated when the information was mapped.
|
|
Systems developed for different parts of a business are congruent parts of the whole, fitting together into a single meta-system because they are all based on the same two things:
- How information works
- The information content of the host business
Following the rules of informability, it is impossible to make systems that are not integrated parts of the greater meta-system. |
|
Information management is removed from the critical path of business planning. |
|
IT staffing requirements are cut by well over half. For some organizations by up to ninety per cent. |
|
Organizations get better, more complete information at a fraction of the cost. |
