Web-Based Enterprise Information Systems Development: The Integrated Methodology

TL;DR

This paper presents an integrated methodology for developing large-scale, internet-based enterprise information systems that effectively handle huge, distributed, and heterogeneous data, improving development speed and reducing costs.

Contribution

It introduces a novel conceptual approach, formal models, and software tools specifically designed for visual problem-oriented development and content management in enterprise IS.

Findings

Shortened implementation times

Reduced development costs

Effective handling of large, distributed data

Abstract

The paper considers software development issues for large-scale enterprise information systems (IS) with databases (DB) in global heterogeneous distributed computational environment. Due to high IT development rates, the present-day society has accumulated and rapidly increases an extremely huge data burden. Manipulating with such huge data arrays becomes an essential problem, particularly due to their global distribution, heterogeneous and weak-structured character. The conceptual approach to integrated Internet-based IS design, development and implementation is presented, including formal models, software development methodology and original software development tools for visual problem-oriented development and content management. IS implementation results proved shortening terms and reducing costs of implementation compared to commercial software available.
