Commonly
the information systems are being used in a Local
Network environment, at the main offices of
the capital city or in distant offices. Always depending
of the net and the installation of the information system.
If a computer didn't have the installation of the system,
it could not be used for that purpose.

If
at the company's offices wanted to know how went the
operations and the administrative management from other
units, being locate at remote sites there was no easy
way to unite net, in real time and with centralized
data, besides depending on the technicians that should
supervise the effectiveness of the computer operations
and communications. Complex task. |
Now
the tendency is to use the Internet so that it contains
applications to control the operations and pursuit the
administrative management. In this way the capacity
of the Websites, will be use to centralize all the information
at the main offices, and to take advantage of the conectivity
with all the computers that have access to Internet,
sharply decreasing the dependence with the nets and
communications. |

It
is a great advance to reduce costs and to increase the degree
of opportunity to responses and the accuracy
of the information, increasing the reliability in the results
for a better decisions making.
An
information that arrives delayed can cause taking an unfortunate
decision, with economic consequences of consideration.
Some
Internet Systems Already Developed
- State of Bills, for clients at regional level.
- Medicines Guide, for laboratories and medical services.
- Shopping Cart, for electronic trasferences.
- Subscription and Registration, for intranets and extranets.
- Associates Searcher, for professional leagues.
- Receivables, for clients at regional level.
- Companies' Catalogue, for the mining and indistrial sector.
- Automobiles' Catalogue, for the automobile sector.
- Interactive Portal, for promotions, training centers, clubs.
- Club Accounts, for cooperatives, associations, communities, clubs.
Common
Characteristics of the Internet Systems
-
Access from any point of Internet.
-
Processes in real time.
- One
single version of the system in all the units.
-
Centralized Data Base.
- Consolidation
of data from different locals.
- Security
password for users.
- Saving
of hardware resources, software, dedicated line and services.
The
Traditional: Conventional Systemas in Local Network
Solution
with Dedicated Line: real time, one version of the
system, centralized database, but with high fixed costs of
communications, they should acquire their own server and software
licenses for communications (firewall, proxy, mail) for the
server, high costs for technical services specialized in the
hardware.
Solution
with Telephony Line: information base on differed
time (not real), installations of the system in each computer
of each local, databases in each local that later on will
be centralized, acquire servers for each local and software
for communications, technical services specialized in each
local.
The
Innovation: Internet Systems
Internet Solution: information in real time, one
single version of the system, one single centralized database,
it doesn't require to have own servers neither licenses of
software for communications, the technical services are centralized.
The
access to the information system will be carried out through
a Website. The user of the system access by a security password,
and the information from each unit will be keep separately,
and at the same time it will be consolidated for the Management
in real time, being obtained in this way the integral control
of the registers and local transactions of the different units.
The
benefits are highly advantageous and profitable for the company,
as much for the saving of special communication lines and
hardware equipments and software, the use of a single version
of the system for all the units, a single centralized database
and to be able to have the exact and opportune information
for the decisions making.
Summary
of Savings with Internet Systems
-
Dedicated lines for each unit.
-
Licencing of each database, in each unit.
-
Installation of systemas, in each unit.
-
Supervision of operations, in each unit.
-
Server hardware.
-
PC terminals.
-
Network communications.
-
General technical services.
-
Specialized human resources, in each unit.
