Executive Information Systems for Providing Next Generation Strategic Information: An Evaluation of EIS (Executive Information System) Software and Recommended Applicability within the FAA Computing Environment

Abstract

Commercially-available Executive Information System (EIS) software products are evaluated. Their performance is analyzed against criteria approved by the FAA. Criteria include functionality and ease of use, ease of design and development, hardware and software issues, and maintenance. Data transmission and mainframe storage options within the FAA are identified and evaluated. A recommendation for complete EIS implementation within the FAA is provided. Keywords: Executive information system; Multidimensional database; Decision support system.
