- Business analysts use data for decision-making and process improvements.

- End-users input and retrieve information for daily operations.

Data
- Includes structured data (databases, reports) and unstructured data (emails, documents).

- Ensures accurate, real-time information for decision-making.

- Requires data security and integrity to prevent loss or unauthorized access.

- Enables businesses to track performance, trends, and customer behavior.

Procedures
- Defined workflows for data collection, processing, and distribution.

- Ensure consistency and compliance with organizational policies.

- Improve efficiency by automating repetitive tasks.

- Help maintain data accuracy and security within the system.

3. Functions of an Enterprise System


- Integrates various business processes such as finance, HR, supply chain, and customer
relations.

- Automates tasks to reduce manual work and improve efficiency.

- Provides real-time analytics and reporting for better decision-making.

- Enhances collaboration by ensuring seamless data sharing between departments.


4. Business Modeling in Enterprise Systems
- Maps out business processes to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement.

- Defines data flow and integration points within the enterprise system.

- Establishes business rules, policies, and compliance requirements.

- Helps in the effective design and customization of enterprise systems.

5. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

7. Types of Enterprise Systems

Independent Enterprise Systems


- Operate as standalone applications without external dependencies.

- Best suited for small businesses or specific departmental functions.

- May require manual data transfer between different systems.

- Examples include basic accounting or payroll software.

Supplementary Enterprise Systems


- Enhance the functionality of existing systems by adding new features.

- Typically work alongside core enterprise applications.

- Used to improve reporting, analytics, or workflow automation.

- Examples include business intelligence tools integrated with ERP systems.

Joint (Integrated) Enterprise Systems


- Multiple interconnected systems that share data and processes.
- Provide a seamless user experience across different business functions.

- Reduce redundancy and improve real-time data access.

- Common in large enterprises that need system-wide integration.

Complementary Enterprise Systems


- Work alongside existing systems without direct integration.

- Used for specialized tasks that do not require full integration.

- Can be cloud-based or on-premise applications.

- Examples include third-party CRM software used alongside an ERP system.

Competitive Enterprise Systems


- Designed to provide businesses with a competitive advantage.

- Include advanced analytics, AI-driven automation, or market intelligence tools.

- Help businesses stay ahead of industry trends and customer demands.

- Often customized to fit specific business needs and goals.

8. Enterprise Architecture: Two-Tier vs. Three-Tier

Two-Tier Architecture
- Consists of a client (user interface) and a server (database).

- Best suited for small to medium-sized businesses.

- Provides fast processing but may have scalability limitations.

- Easier to implement and maintain compared to three-tier architecture.

Three-Tier Architecture
- Includes three layers: presentation (UI), application (logic), and data (database).

- Offers better scalability and flexibility for large enterprises.

- Enhances security by separating data access from the user interface.

- Commonly used in cloud-based and web applications.
