The future of IT outsourcing in the age of SaaS
Šapovalov, Tomáš ; Donát, Jiří (advisor) ; Bruckner, Tomáš (referee)
Information technologies develop very quickly. And in the same way should be changed the companie's attitude to them. But the question is whether this is actually happening. If the companies and their employees are able to adapt to new technologies as quickly as these technologies arise. One of the phenomena of recent years is delivering applications through Software As A Service (SaaS). This concept is closely linked with the issue of Cloud computing and its use can be solved by outsourcing corporate IT structure. So here we meet three very exposed concepts. But their terms are often used confused or in the wrong context. This work focuses on explaining these concepts in the context of business intelligence and analysis on the aspects that affect them. In particular, cloud computing is a modern concept, which everyone talks about but only few people know exactly what it means and what it could bring to a particular company. This work helps to answer these questions and it helps to sort out the context and framework within which the possible changes in the corporate IT infrastructure should be discussed to make decisions. The first part is focused on basic lighting of these concepts and their insertion into mutual context. The second part is then devoted to current trends in this area so that conclusions for a prediction of the expected development in the coming years can be drawn.

Comparison of approaches to management strategy of corporate IS/ICT
Pešek, Jan ; Bruckner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šebesta, Michal (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is comparison of approaches to strategic management of enterprise and IS/ICT, identification of relationship of both areas during their evolution and in presence mainly from point of view of large companies. The thesis attends to both areas of strategic management (business and IS/ICT), their particular historic and current trends and issues. These areas are subsequently put into context and particular connections and common trends of both areas are described. The first part of the thesis is divided into two parts. Its first part contains a research of approaches to strategic management of enterprise outside of area of IS/ICT. The second part contains a research of approaches to strategic management of IS/ICT in the enterprise. In the second part of the thesis based on both researches a hypothesis of relationship of both areas of strategic management is established. The hypothesis attends to the fundamental question of strategic value of IT in the enterprise and subsequently to relationship of business and IT parts of enterprise during their evolution including a forecast to future. In the last part of the thesis the hypothesis is further amplified and reflected on the basis of the previous researches. In this part of the thesis are accumulated statements and opinions of some authors which attended to question of strategic value of IT in the enterprise especially after the so called dot-com era and subsequently those statements are evaluated from the current point of view. Further the last part of the thesis closely attends to evolution of business and IT areas and describes connections and relationship of both the areas during their evolution until the present. The thesis thus provides a comprehensive comparison of business and IT areas in the enterprise and describes the evolution of their relationship until the present, particularly from the perspective of strategic management.

Usage of database systems in robust ERP/ERP II sw packages
Vašek, Martin ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Basl, Josef (referee)
This thesis is concerning with problems of using database systems in ERP / ERP II software packages. The goal is to define position of ERP / ERP II systems in the Information System market. With this topic are also connected characteristics of database systems and definition of their specific position towards ERP / ERP II solutions. Except classical solutions, when the whole Information System is situated "inside" a company, there are also analyzed new attitudes, which respect external provider of ERP / ERP II and database services, particularly SaaS and Cloud Computing technology. This thesis also deals with evaluation of contributions and threats of these new business models, respecting different size of ERP / ERP II solutions. After introductory theoretical chapters, we choose respondents from groups of producers and distributors of ERP / ERP II products and we implemented a survey through questionnaire research. The goal is to clarify main reasons of choice of specific database platforms, used with different types of ERP / ERP II solutions. Afterward, with the aid of defined hypothesis, I'm trying to explain a degree of platform independence of robust ERP / ERP II software packages, towards database platforms. In closing parts of the thesis, there are compared individual database platforms among each other, respecting their suitability of usage in ERP / ERP II systems. Database systems are closely analyzed from several points of view. On the basis of ascertained theoretical and empirical frequency of particular database solutions we determine dominant market players and with the aid of multicriterial comparison we clear up reasons of their success among other competitors. Finally, we outline an anticipated trend, where the database systems market destined for ERP / ERP II products should grow in.
