Currently, the implemented EIS is the first production version and covers production,
finance and accounting, marketing, and human resources. Its general features include key
indicator tracking, exception reporting and drill down. The information is presented in
tabular, graphic, and text formats on request. The EIS also provides personal tools to
support executive work including e-mail, diary, calculator, and staff directory. The first
version was delivered within 12 months and comprised 181 screens. Fifteen senior
executives, including the CEO, were the initial users. The EIS is considered successful by
both developers and users.
