Publisher's Synopsis
Executive information systems (EIS) are new kinds of computer systems that let senior managers get at existing information, previously inaccessible in their company's computers. The managers can access this information, often through touch-screens, and then use the information with such devices as graphs and charts, to uncover revealing trends in their company's business. Effectively, EIS are opening up a whole new market for executive-level computers.;This is a book that deals with the main issues involved in choosing and using an EIS. It is a managment rather than a technical book and adopts a practical approach citing specific examples, providing useful checklists and drawing on the experience of people who have installed EIS.
