Abstract:

Recently, out of a need to create and develop informatics systems meant to better meet the beneficiaries’ demands, the developers of informatics solutions for the administration of the business have oriented their interest towards introducing in the analysis and projection period of the concepts, promoted by the disciplines which employ the use value (utility) in the process of analyzing and projecting products and services. Value engineering, functional analysis, value and quality management are included in this category. The evaluation of informatics systems, developed by applying these methods, requires changes in the system of indicators. The currently used indicators, selected so as to evaluate informatics systems and developed by means of traditional methodologies, are not able to quantify their use value, which is a relative value varying according to the position towards the evaluator’s informatics system (beneficiary/user or developer).  The present study aims at improving the system of indicators used for the evaluation of informatics systems by introducing a system of indicators which allows its analysis and complex appreciation, by quantifying the elements brought with the introduction of organizational aspects in projection, especially the introduction of use value. The use of the suggested indicators can bring benefits in the evaluation of the informatics system by the developers of informatics solutions so as to choose the best variant after the process of projecting and may assist the staff’s decision regarding the acquisition of some informatics systems.
