Features: The core task of advancing the informatization of China's national economy and society is the development and utilization of information resources. Currently, enterprise informatization construction faces two fundamental issues: one is the "system integration" (Integration) problem—some enterprises have already developed internal networks (Intranets) and established Internet websites, but over the years, the scattered development or adoption of information systems have created many information silos, lacking shared, networked information resources. How to integrate and merge enterprise online initiatives with information system integration, ensuring smooth information flow within the enterprise, between the enterprise and its customers, suppliers, and business partners (developing into e-commerce systems)? The other is the "system reengineering" (Reengineering) problem—newly established enterprises need to build next-generation information networks, or existing enterprise information systems, which are outdated and need to be rebuilt. How to achieve overall planning and design, organize project implementation, avoid repeating the old path of scattered development or unsuccessful software adoption, and prevent the formation of new information silos, thereby building high-standard, high-efficiency, and high-benefit modern enterprise information networks from the outset? To address these issues, this book summarizes the author's many years of theoretical research and practical experience in information system integration and development, proposing an integrated solution based on Information Resource Planning (IRP). It introduces the purpose, significance, standards, and technical methods of IRP. This book is suitable for leaders, managers, IT personnel, and faculty and students of universities and colleges in the informatization of enterprises, fields, and regions. It can also be used as a training textbook for enterprise informatization.
