Measurement and evaluation of economic efficiency of investments in informatics
Koumar, Vít ; Maryška, Miloš (advisor) ; Exnarová, Anna (referee)
This work discusses the possibilities of evaluating economic efficiency of investments in information systems and information and communication technologies (IS/ICT). The goal is to summarize the theme beginning from general measurement of informatics, continuing with the detailed description of costs and benefits of IS/ICT and ending with the research of methods used for economic efficiency evaluating. Nevertheless such analysis is not an easy task in the field of information systems and technologies. It is quite difficult to specify the benefits directly generated by an IS/ICT investment project or it does not even have to have a sense in some cases. An investment does not necessarily have to make profit directly (and it is a frequent phenomenon in IT environment). In such cases, we usually do not seek the accounting profit. We would most likely prefer to know all the desired (or measured in past) benefits that we could consequently convert to financial units (more or less accurately). By contrast, accounting costs are generated by every investment project without an exception and to identify them is not a severe task, but difficult part is to unambiguously assign all costs to their source investment project. This work's goal is to explore the possibilities of dealing with such issues. The first part contains an introduction to the matters of the measurement in enterprise informatics. Important terminology and the process of measuring enterprise informatics according to international standards ISO / IEC is discussed too. The second part is to describe the issues of costs and benefits of enterprise informatics and its investments. There are discussed the most important classifications and techniques used for cost calculations. The chapter on the benefits of informatics is mainly focused on division of benefits, the basic rules of the benefits metric model creation and the key business metrics, which are used for the expression of benefits of enterprise informatics most frequently. The third part describes the methods used in practice for evaluation of economic efficiency using the values of costs and benefits identified in the second part. The final chapter then uses some of these methods for the solution of two case studies from the author's practice described in the final charter. The thesis provides a comprehensive guide to assess an investment in enterprise informatics in terms of its economic efficiency and thus can serve as a basis for rational decisions on investment projects of enterprise informatics. The main contribution of this work is to summarize the topic and as well the practical calculations in the case studies which will help company executives make simpler and more rational decisions.

Efective server infrastructure management
Váša, Lukáš ; Gála, Libor (advisor) ; Kašpar, Jaromír (referee)
The purpose of this diploma is to describe the IT server infrastructure and map out ways in which it may be find. In addition, aims to clarify the concept of management of infrastructure and describe the processes and activities required to manage server infrastructure. Subsequently, examine options and software features to support the management and benefits of their use. On the basis of these findings are developed and described models of effective managements for the particular states of server infrastructure. In detail are also explained the concepts, which can be achieved by changes in infrastructure. Models of effective management is established with regard to the need and level of implementation of various management activities, in different stages of maturity infrastructure. Some of the requirements arising from the level and condition of infrastructure must be support by the appropriate software. Models, therefore, also contain requirements for software at various levels of infrastructure maturity. Described and discussed are also other influences, which are the size of infrastructure, skills of managers and environmental influences. Part of this work is also a practical demonstration of software for managing server infrastructure, and a description of its properties.

Benchmarking IT
Blecher, Jan ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Dohnal, Jan (referee)
The aim of this paper is to describe benefits of benchmarking IT in wider context and benchmarking scope at all. I specify benchmarking as a process and mention basic rules and guidelines. Further I define IT benchmarking domains and describe possibilities of their use. Best known type of IT benchmark is cost benchmark which represents only a subset of benchmark opportunities. In this paper, is cost benchmark rather an imaginary first step to benchmarking contribution to company. IT benchmark is not only a method for comparing IT efficiency, but also a way to better co-ordinate IT work with company strategy or make IT work more transparent for their customers. IT benchmark facilitates continual improvement not only to internal IT processes, but also to services that IT provides and in consequence to supported business services. Reader will further familiarize with practical example of IT process benchmark and with specifics in benchmarking of outsourced processes. It should be possible based on this paper to set strategic aims in benchmarking. And second, to run an initial IT process benchmark project.

Development of global economy in the information technology era
Polák, Ivan ; Jiránková, Martina (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
Information technology is the last revolutionary technological innovation with global impacts. It benefits people as individuals, but also companies of all sizes. Information and communication technologies have brought unprecedented linkage and in the end economic unification of the world. The aim of this paper is to explain how ICTs affect the global economy, what factors have enabled their massive spread, and which areas have been influenced the most. I describe in detail the conditions of the invention of the technology and its rapid spread. This paper mostly discusses information technology and its impact on the current economy, both from the global and business perspective. In this work, I concentrate on the regions most affected by the process of informatisation: the developed economies and South-East Asian countries. From the business point of view, I show how active use of ICT in business processes enhances the company productivity. I also describe the change of business-to-business and business-to-customer relationships.

Customer relationship management in outsourcing of IT
Horáček, Jan ; Bruckner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vaněček, Michal (referee)
Outsourcing of IT is likely to be a perspective model of IT service delivery. However, only a small number of companies have adopted it and according to surveys, their satisfaction is relatively low. On the contrary, customer relation management (CRM) is a marketing approach that still keeps its popularity. Is not therefore CRM a solution also for outsourcing of IT? How should it be applied in the field? This master's thesis is intended for providers of outsourcing of IT and it aims to find answers to the questions above. The first step towards the goal is to identify main characteristic features of outsourcing of IT, which consequently provide a guideline for a systematic approach to the solution. The thesis does not presume reader's familiarity with CRM, hence the second chapter offers a brief yet holistic view of the issue. A synthesis of the information from the first two parts leads to a conclusion that it is not possible to decide about suitability of CRM in outsourcing of IT on a general basis, but always in the particular situation. Therefore the work suggests a set of criteria for the choice. The consecutive chapters deal with the application of CRM. Firstly, an entire system of tools for evaluation of customers is proposed. It enables providers to determine the suitable level of individual approach to each customer with consideration of both business and technical factors. Consequently, a provider can start building a relationship with his customer taking advantage of number of recommendations and tools given by this paper. It includes measures not only for convincing customers but also for increasing their retention. The thesis discusses broad variety of aspects of marketing in outsourcing of IT. Its scope ranges from customer uncertainty mitigation and purchasing process of a corporate customer, over tips on how to manage customer satisfaction, to appropriate adjustments of a service level agreement (SLA). The paper also briefly analyses the specifics of CRM in outsourcing of IT in the public sector.
