History of Business Informatics
With the development of world globalization, with the widespread introduction of information technologies, the management of enterprises and industries required the introduction of new rules for doing business and new approaches to enterprise management. The level of training, the lack of specialists well versed in economics, computer science and management led to failure in attempts to create corporate information systems.
As a rule, many specialists either had excellent knowledge of IT, but little knowledge of management and economics, or vice versa. The creation of business informatics made it possible to obtain professionals with complex and harmoniously formed knowledge in economics, management, in the field of law, programming, implementation and management of IT systems.
