Кейс из коллекции "The European Case Clearing House (ECCH)". The case is aimed at teaching how to build up a strategic concept for the formation of systems development at an enterprise, its functionality and magnitude enabling the enterprise to hold its leading position. JSC Baltiysky Zavod was one of the first industrial plants in Russia that launched a modern transnational integrated information system, BAAN IV, encompassing all business processes from production planning up to financial monitoring. The implementation of the multifunctional system was followed by the elaboration of a long-term strategy for the development of information systems by production units and to form a sequential program to extend the functional content of the system. The case study contains a description of organisational and economic features related to the plant performance as well as prior experience in the application of information technology and includes data on long-term planning and the development of information systems.
