Synopsis:

Students will learn various ways and methods of design and implementation of information systems. They will gain overview in different kinds of ISs, appropriate technologies, and practical areas of their deployment. Students will also be able to consider customers' requirements on the IS and choose proper technologies for their implementation.

Requirements:

General knowledge about database technologies, client-server principle, basic knowledge about tools for description of real systems behaviour (for example case tools, UML), user interface implementation knowledge, overview of systems implementation and programming technologies.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction to Information Systems, glossary and definitions, subject motivation.

2. Methods of Information Systems implementation, process control.

3. Project way of realization, methodology.

4. Postimplementation stage of project realization.

5. Legal questions of information systems implementation, specification of information systems delivery to different segments.

6. Market verticals, information systems types.

7. Information systems for small- and medium-size companies.

8. Information systems for large-size companies.

9. Information systems for manufacturing companies.

10. Information systems for Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

11. Information systems for the public administration. Geographical information systems.

12. Information systems for content management.

13. Business intelligence.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Introduction to Information Systems implementation.

2. Implementation tools.

3. Practical presentation of project implementation.

4. Project assignment.

5. Project elaboration.

6. First project presentation.

7. Project elaboration.

8. Final project presentation.

Study Objective:

The aim of the module is to inform students about the types of information systems (IS) and their practical implementation aspects. After completing the module, students will be able to match the needs of different market segments (customers) with applications of existing technologies (databases, programming languages, GUI etc.). Knowledge obtained in this module can serve as the fundamentals for IS project management, as well as for selecting an optimal solution (including technology), choosing a supplier, and supervising the delivery of an information system by a third party.
