System Managment
Systems management is the management of the information technology
systems in an enterprise.
This includes gathering requirements, purchasing equipment and
software, distributing it to where it is to be used, configuring it,
maintaining it with enhancement and service updates, setting up
problem-handling processes, and determining whether objectives are
being met.
Systems management is usually under the overall responsibility of an
enterprise's CIO.
Trends and issues in systems
management include:
- The total cost of ownership, which emphasizes that updating and
servicing equipment is likely to be a major cost
- The right balance of resources and control between centrally-managed
and network-distributed systems
- The outsourcing of all or part of information systems and systems
management
- Tactical versus strategic purchasing decisions
- The choices between proprietary, compatible, and Open Source software
- Exploitation of the Internet and Web interfaces
- Graphical user interfaces for controlling the information system
