Information Systems

(Carmel, Indiana)--Computers and the role they play in business are
changing. Finding more economical and faster ways of doing business, while
retaining the professional edge is a must for many of today's businesses.
Two new books from Sams deal with important computer re-engineering and
downsizing issues .

Downsizing Information Systems

Downsizing Information Systems provides answers to questions that have
plagued business systems for decades--compromises between power, user
friendliness, and cost. This book is a thorough guide filled with proven
methods for streamlining information systems to maximum efficiency and
economy.

Downsizing Information Systems management advice and answers give users
insight into justifying costs, re-engineering, and implementing tools
required for building a networkbased system. With this book users can
build a solid foundation for tomorrow's opportunities and growth. Users
will also gain an understanding of how downsized information systems will
affect their business or organization. Plus, they learn how to manage
these changes.

System integrators, information systems mangers, CEOs, and consultants will
find this guide to downsizing an indispensable addition to their library.
Another useful tool found inside Downsizing Information Systems is the
vendor and product list, which helps users begin to research their system
of choice. The book features an extensive glossary and end of chapter
summaries that also make information easy to access. Icons identify common
problem areas, how-to instructions and hints help users work more
efficiently.

Reorganizing MIS

Sams provides guidance to businesses going through the growing pains of
reorganizing their MIS departments. Reorganizing MIS is a new book that
provides businesses with a road map for re-engineering their MIS
organization and taking maximum advantage of new technology at the lowest
possible cost.

Readers learn the ins and outs of creating an infrastructure, downsizing
and outsourcing, and restructuring their business. Reorganizing MIS
creates a specific frame of reference, which helps users wade through all
the buzzwords and trends to get a clear picture of where the most
innovative companies are heading. The book details all the important
advances in digital fiber-optic and wireless technologies, networking,
expert systems, imaging, and other technologies. The glossary, Technology
Primer for the Business-person, and the LAN Strategy for the Union Bank of
Switzerland give a comprehensive reference to easily accomplishing
change.
