The EIS budget
the size of the budget depends on several factors, the financial resources
of the organization, the level of support for the system, how much money
was requested, and what computer resources (e.g. hardware,
communication networks, software) already exist.
Current and future system capabilities
the software created must meet the needs of the initial version, but
thought also should be given to how well it will serve the needs of and
expanded EIS.
Under powered software can cause problems later and
may require expensive workarounds to other software.
Existing computing environment
the software that is selected for building the EIS must be compatible with
the existing computing infrastructure and the current approach to
application development.
The ability to access data
most organizations have data scattered over a variety computer and
databases
comprehensive EIS software have programs that extract data from the
common database management systems and feed the data to the EIS.
