Module 2 (Database Management in Construction)

The document discusses Information Engineering, which is a method for planning, analyzing, designing, and implementing persistent data structures in an enterprise. It has four basic tenets: rigorous analysis, data independence, strategic data planning, and end-user access. Information Engineering involves four stages: information strategy planning, business area analysis, system design, and construction. It also includes phases of strategic business planning, data modelling, process modelling, and systems design and implementation. Information strategy refers to a long-term plan to achieve organizational objectives in managing knowledge, information, and data.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Define Information Engineering


• Identify the basic tenets, stages, and phases of
Information Engineering
• Determine what is Information Strategy
INFORMATION ENGINEERING
WHAT IS INFORMATION ENGINEERING?

Information Engineering is an architectural method


for planning, analyzing, designing, and implementing
persistent data structures in an enterprise. Its aim is to
enable an enterprise to improve the management
of its resources, including the capital, people, and
information systems, to support the achievement of
its business vision.
FOUR BASIC TENETS OF
INFORMATION ENGINEERING
FOUR BASIC TENETS OF INFORMATION
ENGINEERING

• Principle of rigorous analysis


• Principle of data independence
• Principle of strategic data planning
• Principle of end-user access
PRINCIPLE OF RIGOROUS ANALYSIS

This basically states that data have an inherent structure.


Analysis of this structure must be completed before process
logic (cause-and-effect explanation of a process) is defined.
As a follow on, it should be captured for future use and
reference.
PRINCIPLE OF DATA INDEPENDENCE

States that the inherent logical structure of the data should be


captured in a model form independent of how the data are
used by any process and independent of how they will
physically be implemented.
PRINCIPLE OF STRATEGIC DATA PLANNING

Was a product of all the systems being rapidly developed


without a game plan. It states that there must be planning,
definition, and structuring of data throughout an enterprise in
order to facilitate data reuse and data exchange among many
processes.
PRINCIPLE OF END-USER ACCESS

States that end-users should be facilitated in their quest for


access to their data. This is a result of the clamoring of all
professionals in the industry to have access to data that might
increase their competitive advantage.

STAGES OF INFORMATION ENGINEERING

Stage 1: Information Strategy Planning.


Stage 2: Business Area Analysis.
Stage 3: System Design.
Stage 4: Construction.
STAGE 1: INFORMATION STRATEGY PLANNING.

Concerned with top management goals and critical success


factors. Concerned with how technology can be used to create
new opportunities or competitive advantages. A high-level
overview is created of the enterprise, its functions, data, and
information needs.
STAGE 2: BUSINESS AREA ANALYSIS.

Concerned with what processes are needed to run a selected


business area, how these processes interrelate, and what data is
needed.
STAGE 3: SYSTEM DESIGN.

Concerned with how selected processes in the business area


are implemented in procedures and how these procedures
work. Direct end-user involvement is needed in the design of
procedures.
STAGE 4: CONSTRUCTION.

Implementation of the procedures using code generators,


fourth-generation languages (SQL, Phyton, Perl, etc.) and end-
user tools. Desire is linked to construction by means of
prototyping.
PHASES OF INFORMATION
ENGINEERING
PHASES OF INFORMATION ENGINEERING

• Strategic Business Planning


• Data Modelling
• Process Modelling
• Systems Design and Implementation
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLANNING

The business directions that senior managers set for the future
are defined in strategic business plans, with their greater
definition in tactical business plans and implementation in
operational business plans.
DATA MODELLING

Data models can be developed from any statement, whether it is a


narrative description of a process, or a statement of a policy, goal,
objective, or strategy. Redundant data versions that typically have
evolved over time in different areas of an organization (each
defining its own version of the same data) can be consolidated into
integrated data models so that common data can be shared by all
areas that need access to it. Regardless of whichever area updates
the common data, that updated data is then available to all other
areas that are authorized to use it.
PROCESS MODELLING

Process modelling documents processes using a variety of


diagrams. These include data flow diagrams, state transition
diagrams, and object-oriented process and class hierarchy
diagrams. These documented processes are used to provide
input to systems design and systems implementation.
SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

The Business Model, comprising data models and process


models that are developed from business plans, indicate the
business needs to be addressed by relevant information systems
and databases. They define the systems requirements from a
business perspective, which is one part of systems design. The
other part considers available technologies to be used for
design and implementation.
INFORMATION STRATEGY
INFORMATION STRATEGY

Information Strategy refers to a long-term plan designed to


achieve the organization’s objectives in the management of
knowledge, information, or data. Information Strategy is one of
the outcomes of strategic management, and it is an integral part
of the strategy of the organization. It is usually a formalized
document that contains a description of the strategic objectives
information and data management, and a timetable for their
implementation.
