Abstract
Our research aims at finding key concepts to link agile enterprises
with agile automated information systems. To effectively respond
to environmental changes, such as in market needs, technology, regulations
or law, enterprises need to be able to change their supporting information
system(s) accordingly. The Design and Engineering Methodology for
Organizations (DEMO) has already proven to be an effective tool in
designing and realizing agile organizations. The Normalized System
(NS) approach, on the other hand, has proven to be the key for developing
agile Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems, which
support such agile organizations. We found that DEMO and its underlying
PSI-theory, and the principles and elements of the Normalized Systems
approach match. Also we designed, using two cases of Dutch governmental
subsidy schemes, a few simple and automatable steps to derive a Normalized
System from the ontological model of the B-organization, provided
by applying DEMO to an enterprise, while retaining the implementation
freedom of the organization under consideration. Finally we found
that the impact of implementation choices is minimal and that it
is clear how they affect the automated information system. With this
result, one vital cornerstone for achieving enterprise agility has
been covered.
