Trends and Evolution of Information Systems Infrastructure

ERP (Enterprise Resource planning) is one of the major software applications, adopted by most of the organizations to integrate all their applications through which they can simplify all their business process and needs. This reduced cost and effort by eliminating most of the human work in business and accounting services. Coming to Information systems Architecture, it evolved from mainframes to client server and distributed web-based client server. In mainframes installation of software’s were done on a central host computer and communication between users and the systems were done using terminals. When it comes to Client server infrastructures, all the application systems are hosted on a network where communication between machines on the same network can be done to transfer the data or to process the request. Distributed systems are also known as multi-tier client server architectures which makes the business process and communication much more easy and efficient.

Electronic data processing is one of the other software applications being evolved which involves processing data related to business transactions which evolved from electronic data processing to management information system and all the way through cloud computing.
