Abstract

In today’s highly competitive global economy enterprise integration (EI) can take a major role in performance improvement. The more the scope of EI is enlarged, the more users, which are not integration experts, are involved. This fact generates communication problems. For the information system (IS), which remains the main integration vehicle, the situation is obviously similar. In this paper, it is proposed to analyse IS design techniques and develop a key-problem based approach, because it involves efficiently users. Then it is shown how to use them to improve the carrying out of a model of an integrated enterprise.
