INFO PAPER TO CIO

1 THE CEO’S CHALLENGE

MEMO

To: Executives of This Company

From: I.T Employer

Date: 17th January, 2017

Subject: Request to change the information system.

Due to the poor performance that the Company has experience as the result of the use of the decision support system (DSS), I am requesting that the Company shift to an executive information system. The rationale for this is because the executive system has features that can effectively deal with the issues are currently experienced with our information systems. The executive information system back, it has features that allows the system to support senior administrative data and requirements in the decision-making process (Laudon & Laudon, 2016). The executive information system has displays and clear interface that present reporting abilities and this is essential in effecting the work of this particular information system.

In addition, the executive information system will keep confidential information that will not be accessed by senior management or in the event that any other party wants to intrude will have to have security details from one of the executives. The restriction with this proposed information system will ensure that the intended quality of data is preserved and any form of information accessibility it will be noticed this will help eliminate some of the issues that we are witnessing right now.

The present DSS does not execute its role independently it has to depend on other information systems which means that a failure in the attached information system to the DSS will cause the breakdown of the same (Aronson et al., 2005). Therefore, the problem experienced right now may have its origin on other information that DSS relies on which is not the case with executive because it has the features that allow it to perform the same roles without shouldering on another system.

The computer information system is used in most of the retail banking sections where the management wants to ascertain if the customers are indeed served as required by their workers. The evidence from these banks indicates the effectiveness of this information system when it comes to carrying out its roles. These banks have saved more money because the computer system carries various functions independently which is not the case with the DSS that our company has used for a long time spending heavily.

I look forward to hearing back from management with regard the information and recommendations I have made about my preferred information system.
