Designing Effective Information Support Systems

This blog exists in support of a book project. Designing Effective Information Support Systems (DEISS) is a long-term thing - I put the first concept down on paper in 2001, wrote a first draft a couple of years later, and every now and then I pull it out again and think about it.

The basic idea is that the information support system for a software or hardware product should be designed to be as effective as possible - with the same standard of professionalism and thought. It should be a holistic system - encompassing the needs of all stakeholders, not just the end users.

From time to time I will update this blog with excerpts from this work in slow progress - it will not be a high-volume blog, but hopefully some of the things I go on about will be worth reading and commenting on.

Until next time, Andrew
