Answer : 

       In the Air Cargo case , we can see what happended to functional departments when a company move from silo systems to an enterprise information system (EIS). The critical benefit from such conversation is usually the elimination of manual data re-entry . Another benefit is the reduced dependence on spreadsheets to generate management reports and to answer special management queries. The drawbacks of implementing integrated systems can include the high cost of implementing the ERP system, the required process changes to benefit from the new system, and training the employees to use this new system.

        In today’s organization, integration of information systems (IS) is very critical for their survival and growth . Systems integration means that you allow a heterogeneous IS to communicate or intergrate and share information or data seamlessly with one another. It is important to understand that the keywords here is seamless because systems have shared information with each other for a long time. However , they required a human link. Information generate from one system had to be re-entered manually by users into other systems, as illustrated in the Air Cargo case. This case also shows the typical problems faced by an organization with a manual data integration process . First, it takes much longer to get information into the system, there are errors and inaccuracies , and information sharing can’t happen in real time or instantly as it’s updated by others between the various organization stakeholders.

In our opinion the silo problem at ACI and how it was solved via the eEnterprise system.

The systems passed data applications using import/export of text files creating a delay reporting and the data being dated. ACI used the Data Transformation Services product from Microsoft to pass data real-time between its enterprise systems.

Refer to the AirCargo Case in the chapter we discuss both short-term and long-term benefits of the eEnterprise system.

The short-term advantage of eEnterprise system is that it links the systems together such

that a single update is propagated across the enterprise, reducing data entry errors and

timing problems.

The long-term benefit is that the systems provide the building blocks that enable two-way

information flow between ebusiness and financial systems.
