An Integrated Corporate Data Base concept and its application
Bernard K. Plagman, Gene Altshuler · 1972
The evolution of computer commercial applications has gone from simple, repetitive accounting to extremely complex information systems. The ability to support the multiplicity of applications and information needs of a business entity with a corporate wide information system has been discussed at length over the last few years. Data redundancy and the inability to transfer data on an intersystem basis within the corporation are among the chief problems to be overcome. The implementation of the Integrated Corporate Data Base (ICDB) in support of a total information system is a potential solution to these problems.
