Geographically
Distributed Information Systems
Sometimes
where your data repository is located makes all the difference.
E811 integrated information systems consolidate information
from multiple operations areas or lines of business to a
central system that is accessible across a geographically
distributed area using Internet tools. Like data warehouses,
integrated information systems combine data from across
the enterprise to a single, secure repository. However,
E811 integrated information systems typically process information
with a faster lifecycle from business units or agencies
that don't have an enterprise communication system, creating
a very cost-effective information sharing platform that
is fault-tolerant.
