Information Requirements for Different Positions in BIFHE

Information Requirements for Different Positions in BIFHE

Describe the information requirements for each category of staff

Senior Management Team :

The Senior Management Team of BIFHE would require strategic

information in order to make decisions that will determine the future

of the whole organisation. The strategic information management is the

process by which senior managers can evaluate the use of information

to help achieve long-term objectives. This will of course typically

involve the use of information technology to provide a better and more

efficient service for the customers of BIFHE. Obviously, in respect to

BIFHE, sales figures and the budget of the organisation will be of

most concern to the CEO and the Department Managers as ultimately this

is vital to its success. Senior Managers of BIFHE would be most

interested in the sales figures for each Department as a whole and if

necessary implement new strategies to increase profit for the

long-term future. At this high level of management a high degree of

accuracy is not necessary as it is more important for senior

management to have a broader outlook on the organisation. Therefore

within BIFHE sales figures will not be looked at by senior managers to

the nearest penny and more likely would be looked at more broadly to

the nearest £10,000. As this is the highest level of management the

highest level of security would also be needed. This means that within

BIFHE this information needs to be kept at a need to know basis to

prevent unauthorised access. Obviously there are many organisations

like BIFHE so it is imperative that measures are put in place to keep

this information secure.

Section Managers :

The section Managers within BIFHE would use information that affects

the day to day running of their specific department. They would have a

more short-term outlook towards the future of the organisation and

indeed their responsibility first and foremost would be the

performance of their own particular department. For example the

Accounts Manager within BIFHE would only require information about
