The Management of End User Computing
Author: John F. Rockart
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780331795226
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Excerpt from The Management of End User Computing: A Research Perspective Based on interviews with 200 end users and 50 information systems managers concerned with end user computing, end users can be classified into six distinct types. Each of them needs differentiated education, support and control from the Information Systems function. End users exist primarily in staff functions. They develop and use a wide Spectrum of computing applications ranging from Operational systems of the type usually developed by information systems professionals to complex analytical programs. To support a large number of their applications a new computing environment, the third environment (in addition to the traditional cobol and timesharing environments) must be developed by Information Systems (i/s) management. Close attention must also be paid by i/s management to the need to involve functional support personnel (end users in each functional area who spend most of their time programming and aiding other end users) in the i/s end user management process. An end user strategy is needed in each organization. In addition, users cite increasing needs for support from management. Finally, a new type of control process is necessary if end user computing is to be well managed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Innovative Strategies and Approaches for End-User Computing Advancements
Author: Dwivedi, Ashish
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1466620609
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
As the use of internet applications with client server architecture and web browsers have increased the ability to draw on information, many managers now face the challenge of making effective decisions based on this data. Integrating end users into computer environments aid in the impact, design, and development that computer models have on performance and productivity. Innovative Strategies and Approaches for End-User Computing Advancements presents comprehensive research on the implementation of organizational and end user computing initiatives to further understand this discipline and its related fields. This book aims to bring together information technology educators, researchers, and practitioners who strive to advance the practice and understanding of organizational and end user computing.

End-User Development
Author: Volkmar Pipek
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 364200427X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Work practices and organizational processes vary widely and evolve constantly. The technological infrastructure has to follow, allowing or even supporting these changes. Traditional approaches to software engineering reach their limits whenever the full spectrum of user requirements cannot be anticipated or the frequency of changes makes software reengineering cycles too clumsy to address all the needs of a specific field of application. Moreover, the increasing importance of ‘infrastructural’ aspects, particularly the mutual dependencies between technologies, usages, and domain competencies, calls for a differentiation of roles beyond the classical user–designer dichotomy. End user development (EUD) addresses these issues by offering lightweight, use-time support which allows users to configure, adapt, and evolve their software by themselves. EUD is understood as a set of methods, techniques, and tools that allow users of software systems who are acting as non-professional software developers to 1 create, modify, or extend a software artifact. While programming activities by non-professional actors are an essential focus, EUD also investigates related activities such as collective understanding and sense-making of use problems and solutions, the interaction among end users with regard to the introduction and diffusion of new configurations, or delegation patterns that may also partly involve professional designers.
