The white paper presents one case where a database move to Delphix showed significant improvement for the database team. The increased efficiency allowed for a faster project throughput in the project delivery and increased output to the Business. The research for the paper is based on only one customer case […]

Blog Post 6 – IS in physics on the example of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN
Physics is a science where natural phenomena are studied to get knowledge with which to create a worldview (Logan, 2010). As such, data will be generated to create information and further knowledge and even worldview. To do so and keep the data accessible, information systems (IS) are required. The recently larges […]
Blog Post 5 – IS in Museums (History)
Most Museums are known for their large collection of exhibits and even bigger repository in storage. These artefacts represent information, regardless if publicly available or in storage. This post will take a view on the digitalisation of this information, current data collections and how the content is shared. Between the […]

Blog Post C2 – Critique for “Making ERPs work: accountants and the introduction of ERP systems” by Mike Newman and Chris Westrup in an IS focused review
There are two main drivers why larger companies intend to establish Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): They see opportunities to consolidated their IT landscape by integrating various systems housing siloed information, eventually saving money, and, once an active ERP established, they can consolidate existing processes as well (Matthews, 2013), reducing efforts and […]
Blog Post 4 – IS in Health and Pharma Science
As within biology, also health and pharma have various topics where science is relying on information systems to store and deliver ‘business’ critical results. As pharma science is more focused on research, health usually includes a customer factor, the patient, and information systems are set up slightly differently to accommodate […]
Blog Post 3 – IS in Bioinformatics
As with astroinformatics, the field of bioinformatics has been formed and established to have a continuous epistemology in the field dealing with computer science, mathematics and biology (IEEE , 2005). The field bioinformatics was probably introduced during the high times of the DNA sequencing, where a lot of data was generated […]
Blog Post 2 – IS in Astronomy
Astronomers have always been early tech adopters and as such, they have also used computerized data capturing, including image storage and processing as soon as available. This does involve all areas of information systems, starting from the data creation, across the data processing (for example, via scripts) and the termination/archiving […]
Blog Post OMP1 – Social Media
As part of the information systems I have learned about the impact and distribution of information on social media. I want to highlight the good, the bad and the ugly I picked up from the course Module 2: Social Media and Building a Digital Portfolio, a video from https://campus.college.ch/video/167660614 which […]
Blog Webinar Review 1 | Addressing the reproducibility crisis: Validating antibodies for life science research – An IS focused summary
As a webinar relating to natural science and information systems, I picked the Webinar from the ScieneMagazine (2018): http://www.sciencemag.org/custom-publishing/webinars/addressing-reproducibility-crisis-validating-antibodies-life-science , which is a video recording of the live event from 11th April 2018. The topic is interesting because data quality and integrity are highly important as organisations need to rely on it. […]
