INTEGRATED IT SYSTEM




INTEGRATED IT SYSTEMS

An integrated system is a system that has combined different functions together in order to work as one entity.
An integrated system can be broken down into parts called subsystems, and each such highest-level subsystem can in turn be broken down into a finite number of smaller subsystems. The process can be continued until we reach the first-level subsystems, which are called the elements of the integrated system. The elements either are objectively incapable of subdivision or are regarded by agreement as indivisible. Thus, the subsystem is, on the one hand, itself an integrated system consisting of several elements (lower-level subsystems) and, on the other hand, an element of a higher-level system.
For instance, Daraz.com has powerful systems that can integrate information from many different functional areas and organizational units and coordinate firm activities with those of suppliers and other business partners.

Advantages of integrated systems

· Offers a more complete view
· Enables better informed decisions
· Should ultimately lead to a more efficient operation
· Which would lead to greater customer satisfaction and hence profitability

Disadvantages of integrated systems

· Greater risk that if one module fails the whole system could fail
· More complex and therefore prone to error
 · More expensive than standalone systems

System integration is the process of connecting different sub-systems (components) into a single larger system that functions as one. With regards to software solutions, system integration is typically defined as the process of linking together various IT systems, services and/or software to enable all of them to work functionally together.

The main reason for organizations to use system integration is their need to improve productivity and quality of their operations. The goal is to get the organizations various IT systems to “talk to each other” through the integration, to speed up information flows and reduce operational costs for the organization.

WHAT IS BARCODES AND RFID

RADIO-FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) RFID is an acronym for “radio-frequency identification” and refers to a technology whereby digital data encoded in RFID tags or smart labels are captured by a reader via radio waves. RFID is similar to barcoding in that data from a tag or label are captured by a device that stores the data in a database. RFID, however, has several advantages over systems that use barcode asset tracking software. The most notable is that RFID tag data can be read outside the line-of-sight, whereas barcodes must be aligned with an optical scanner. HOW DOES (RFID) WORK? RFID belongs to a group of technologies referred to as Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC). AIDC methods automatically identify objects, collect data about them, and enter those data directly into computer systems with little or no human intervention. RFID methods utilize radio waves to accomplish this. At a simple level, RFID systems consist of three componen...

Transaction Processing System

Transaction Processing System (TPS) Transaction processing systems (TPS) are the basic business systems that serve the operational level of the organization. A transaction processing system is a computerized system that performs and records the daily routine transactions necessary to conduct business.
