Symposium on Criminal Justice Information Systems and Technology (1994): Building the Infrastructure. The Design, Development, and Maintenance of Executive Information Systems for Corrections, Probation and Parole.

摘要

This presentation will address issues related to the design, development and maintenance of executive information systems (EIS). I will define the concept of an EIS, and discuss why I believe it is critical for agencies like ours to invest in these types of information systems. I will also describe what is required to develop and maintain such systems, and what it costs, at least in some relative terms. Design and development issues will address personnel considerations (e.g., agency verses contract), tailoring the system to the organization's mission and goals, defining measures of organizational performance, data requirements, and software and hardware options. I will also discuss the use of EIS in support of budget justification, strategic (long range) planning, management decision support, performance monitoring, policy impact assessment, and responding to routine and ad hoc information requests.
