Sharing with the reports dated November 24, 2008 with the topic: Evolution of Information System Planning, strategies and its problems

It felt a little bit nervous this day because I am one of those reporters who will share knowledge about the said topic. Our group was assigned to share about the evolution of Information System planning. The foundation of a good productivity was planning that’s how I defined the word planning. In the Google it was defined as a scheme, program, or method worked out beforehand for the accomplishment of an objective. From the definition itself it was clearly stated that before taking up any action it should be align with the plan so that productivity would be maximized. The evolution was divided into 3 ERA the IS in 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, 80’s and 90’s.

According to the discussion made by our professor that strategic planning was then first introduced by military during war. They need to plan their strategy so that they can gain competitive advantage from their enemy. On the present, IS planning is deeply embedded with a process. First and for most is that, it should be incorporated with the process of assessing the existing IS.

Well problems may occur every now and then, we cannot predict on when this interferences may come on the future. According to the so called “Sharer”, there are several problems while designing an IS therefore it should be planned strategically and it should be inline with the organizational plan. From the budgeting up to the time preparation should be properly plan in order to gain advancement from their competitors. Thus, strategic planning is the key to make the organization prosper.

vision in life

When i first heard the question, first thing that comes on my mind was also a question. Why should we always keep on answering about our future career or shall i say my life in the future? Until a split of seconds i answered my own question right away. Well, so that i have my own inspiration while studying to achieve the height of my career, a successful life.

This task is different from the previous assignments that I answered from my previous post. This time I should have to answer on how my profession can help our school specifically the Institute of Computing.

System analyst and medical transcriptionist. That was the future job that I foreseen when I finish my study here in the University of Southeastern Philippines. Being an IT student in Institute of Computing is really a big challenge that came in my entire life I didn’t even know if I can push through this course because I was failed for the fourth time around. But still, life goes on I know frustrations in my life can largely contribute in my well being and as a student. I need to learn from my mistakes.

Well my vision in life right now is that being an IT professional that worked in the government. I would like to serve first my country before getting a private job if I could pass this course.

Actually personnel management is a term replaced by Human Resource Management. I agree to all of the definition above, for the mere fact that each of the personnel or the workforce within the company should be manage by a certain group for a better flow of good relationship among the company. The beneficiary of these activity are both party.
