SMART Information- Is this new upgrade creating SMART information systems that are: sufficient, money-worth, accurate, relative, and timely?
Accurate – entering incorrect sales data creates false information.Timely – knowing that production doesn’t have enough raw materials for next week’s schedule won’t be useful information three weeks from now.Relevant – if your boss needs to know how many shipments were late last month, you shouldn’t give him a list of all items that shipped. Just barely Sufficient – if your boss wants to know how to send an email, you shouldn’t teach her how to build a computer.Worth its cost (Money) – is it cost worthy to map out the entire U.S. if you only need one state?

“for some people it is an operating system upgrade which means a step backward in the pleasure and smoothness of using the platform”
“the early release is making this impossible to accomplish the daily jobs & responsibilities demanded of me”
Incompatibilities with the existing apps are causing the information system process to slow down, while resulting in inefficiency.
