Many
managers in organizations look for ways to create cross-functional information systems by reengineering,
or combining and
integrating, two or more transaction processing
systems.
Careful
reengineering can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a business process by reducing wasted
time, paperwork, and
unnecessary work procedures.
Work
practices can also be restructured to minimize costs and maximize worker effectiveness.
