Five-Year Information Systems Plan

Discussion of Issues, Strategies, Threats, and Opportunities

Knowledge-based organizations such as PDQC enhance the utility of information technology (IT) when such organizations implement IT in network configurations because this approach allows the sharing of information and resources by all elements of an organization.

Knowledge-based organizations use two types of computerized networks most frequently. The first is the local area network (LAN). Knowledge-based organizations use LANs to connect functions within a single department, or, in the case of PDQC, within a single campus. The LAN allows all personnel to use and build a local database. The LAN also facilitates the use of standard forms for repetitive functions.

The second type of network widely used in by knowledge-based organizations is the wide area network (WAN). WANs typically are organizational-wide systems

sultation with users, will determine the company's software requirements. With the software requirements established, the Systems Administrator, in consultation with the company finance officer, will acquire the necessary software. Company IT personnel will install the software when feasible. When installation problems arise, the Systems Administrator will seek support from the software developers. Company IT personnel will perform software maintenance, repair, and upgrading. When problems arise that company IT personnel cannot solve and the software is under warranty, the Systems Administrator will contact the software developers for support. When warranty service is not applicable, the Systems Administrator will request support from the external systems support provider in relation to software repair. Company IT personnel will configure the networks, establish Internet access for the company networks, install appropriate firewall protection, and perform all network addressing functions. The Systems Administrator will monitor the functioning of the networks to detect and correct problems as a means of minimizing network down time. With widespread computerization in business, government, and science, the discovery of usef
