| Abstract: | In the early days departmental computers were serving discrete user departments. Nowadays departmental systems begin to encroach on distributed data networks and users demand access to corporate databases. This is why IS managers find they have to readdress many of the old administrative control issues. While new architectures may solve the problem of designing a distributed network, they may not necessarily simplify administrative control issues. The solution would be a network architecture that could distribute end-user capabilities while centralizing the maintenance, control, and administrative functions. Such a solution does not exist in a form that addresses the needs of companies trying to use companywide multivendor network. |
