The Evolution of IS
Stage 1:Cost reduction and Productivity
Stage 2:Competitive Advantage
Stage 3:Performance-Based
Management
![Page 32: BUS 710: Foundations of Information Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812ca9550346895d91560a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Measuring Performance
• Productivity – A measure of the output achieved divided by the input
requirement– Productivity=(Output/Input) x 100%
• Quality– The ability of a product (including services) to meet or
exceed customer expectations
• Return on Investment (ROI)– One measure of IS value that investigates the additional
profits or benefits that are generated as a percentage of the investment in information systems technology
• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)– Measuring both expense and benefits of a system. For a
PC, includes purchase price, training, software, support, etc.

BUS 710 - Fall 200333
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• Obvious costs– Hardware– Software license
fees– Personnel– HW + SW
deployment– Support + service– Custom application
development– Upgrades– Energy + space
• Not-so-obvious costs– System downtime –
lost productivity, opportunities
– Being locked into a technology
– Moving to other technologies and platforms
– Having non-standard configurations
– Amount of training required

Major IS Issues
• Outsourcing– What services are best delivered by in-house
expertise and what should be outsourced?– Cost savings, access to larger labor pool– On-shore, off-shore, near-shore
• Centralized vs. Decentralized organization
• Showing value of IS to the organization• Disaster/Business Recovery• Security
