Description
The changing face of today business has spurred the expansion of huge marketplace for ýEnterprise Information Systems (EIS). In recent years, various concepts for more versatile ýenterprise information systems have emerged. They frequently foster the integration of ýapplications or components along enterprise business processes.ý
Information systems within large-scale enterprises are becoming increasingly large, ýcomplex, interconnected and essential to the operation and cooperation of businesses. With ýthe advent of the recent information revolution and as the today enterprises, open up their ýsystems to e-commerce, e-learning and e-tasking, the volume of information that enterprise ýsystems are empowered to manage is increasingly dramatically. The second generation of ýEIS systems, for example, has Web interfaces and EIS are adopted for e-business and ýnetworked supply chain management. Such an increase in information and interconnectivity ýbetween enterprise systems introduces new problems, which methods and solutions have ýyet to be studied and found. ý
This 14th Scientific Conference is geared toward dealing with such problems as; information ýinconsistencies within enterprise systems; the myriad of disparate systems, i.e., relational ýdatabases, mainframes, different operating systems, free text, hierarchical depositories, and ýso on; as well as the replacement of obsolete legacy systems in organization. Therefore, ýEIS systems embody emerging business paradigms and are designed to cope with the ýgrowing sophistication of business intelligence.ý
It is hoped that the conference submitted papers and their recommendations have to deal ýwith the existing local enterprises information integration, seamless integration of disparate ýdata sources on enterprise scale, provides the strategic competitive advantages that ýenterprises require. ý
The 14th Scientific Conference complements the series of the previous thirteen conferences ýthat had been directed to improve and enhance information systems within the Egyptian and ýArab enterprises to increase their capabilities to cope with the knowledge age , knowledge ýeconomy and business intelligence.ý
