Knowledge and information represent twin systems that have helped civilizations to grow and prosper since time immemorial. Early man gathered and deployed information on a variety of subjects including crop sowing cycles, public architecture, the affairs of state of neighboring tribes, about the rhythms of nature, the passage of time, etc. These activities enabled human beings to deal with their immediate environment and enabled them to compile native knowledge systems. In modern times, the extraction, collation, and deployment of information remains central to efforts that drive economic, cultural, technological, and commercial development. Planners and strategists have the liberty to use digital technologies in a bid to architect new information systems that underlie a variety of modern activities. Flowcharts represent one of the strategies that enable modern planners to develop information systems in response to the emerging needs of science, commerce, and human development paradigms.
Ticketing systems represent one of the core activities that drive the functioning of modern commercial networks. Tickets are instrumental in the public interactions that enable the functioning of theaters, museums, commercial transportation systems, entertainment venues, sporting extravaganzas, etc. Hence, commercial operators can deploy flowchart diagrams to create the information systems that underlie the design of a modern ticketing system. Such a flowchart aims to create information systems that encompass the whole process of creating and selling tickets to members of the public. The eminent stages in the process include logging the money received from customers, the price of a single ticket, printing a valid paper ticket, dispensing change as required, and closing the transaction. This flowchart also enables designers and creators to create any extensions to the said process. Extensions may emerge in the form of booking multiple tickets for an individual customer, incorporating any reward points into the transaction, despatching blocks of tickets to a requested destination, ticket cancellations, etc. These actions may comprise additional stages in said flowchart. The visual diagram that emerges from these activities constitutes a prime example of using flowcharts to develop modern information systems.
The current age of digital information is marked by a dark side that manifests in the generation of a surfeit of actionable (and non-actionable) data and information. Every digital network or system generates huge caches of structured and unstructured information in the course of its operations. This has created the problem of information overload that attracts much attention from academics and technologists alike. Therefore, flowcharts that outline the design of modern information systems must make provision for a storage mechanism (or repository for excess data). This provisioning mechanism can be depicted in the visual form of a storage bin (or a computer server) inside flowchart diagrams. The intent of creating this instrument is to reinforce the capability to analyze, examine, and audit additional information at a later (undefined) stage. The subsequent actions may empower commercial operators to monetise the excess of information that is emblematic of the digital age. We may state this storage bin acts as a safety valve for information systems depicted in said flowchart. In addition, designers may place one or more safety valves in the flowchart with a view to accommodate the flows of excess information.
More than any time in recent history, the march of time is now closely mated to advances in the domain of consumer and industrial technology. Human endeavour is powering the emergence of new information systems that seek to mould emerging processes and paradigms. These incidents may proceed in step with ongoing digital design efforts, such as flowcharts. The designers and creators of such diagrams may fashion flowcharts that explore the many possibilities and the full potential of a brand new idea (or hypothesis). Such a flowchart may proceed from existing functions and then sketch extensions and divergences from said functions. This line of effort may help to create an entirely new system or a multiplicity of novel processes. In addition, flowchart designers may implement quality control mechanisms inside said flowcharts with a view to vet the outcomes of the proposed new systems. For instance, these flowcharts may help visualize the creation of modern digital payment systems that can flow as extensions of popular social media networks. Subsequently, social media network operators may tap captive markets, generate higher ad revenues, and create payment systems that rival legacy banking mechanisms.
Modern banks and financial institutions represent a driving force behind global trade networks and regional economic activities. These entities can choose to develop flowcharts in a bid to map the operation of banking and investment mechanisms. The flowchart can create a detailed blueprint of the information systems that will underpin the creation of said mechanisms. The smooth flow of financial information remains the driving motive that enables these information systems. The flowchart diagram can focus on accounting mechanisms and create verticals that include revenue, expenditure, conversion, planning, resource management, administration, etc. Each of these verticals can be mapped to various institutional processes; in addition, they must gather and collate information from the constant streams of operational data that emanate from banking activities. Individual departments inside these institutions may elect to add special lines of information in an attempt to adapt said flowchart to their requirements. Further, designers and creators may add information streams that tap the evolution of regulatory stances and diktats issued by governmental entities. The sum of these efforts may result in the emergence of more resilient banking networks that operate in tune with emerging realities of global and regional markets.
E-commerce businesses operate in complex environments that remain subject to constant change. These business entities can create dynamic information systems by employing the considerable capabilities of the digital flowchart. The potential latent in these flowchart diagrams allows these entities to tackle a variety of emerging business challenges. For instance, an electronic business operator can design new customer service policies by re-engineering traditional business models. The flowchart design that underpins this project may outline a variety of information sources; these include process orders, shipping orders, financial information of customers, inventory management mechanisms, vendor relationships, transactions, etc. Each stage of this flowchart remains open to a re-evaluation that may (potentially) re-order the relationships and connections between different stages. Designers and creators may tap the latest available data in a bid to architect the information systems that will power the new business model. The flowchart plays a central, enabling role in these design initiatives.
Reviewing the architecture of legacy information systems can yield direct insights into the development of future systems in the domain of information technology. Software coders and information architects may deploy flowcharts as part of a concerted attempt to examine (or decode) said systems. The picture that emerges from such efforts enables reviewers to gain knowledge about the best practices that informed the design of legacy systems. Reviewers can flag the areas of improvement at each stage of the said flowchart; subsequently, they may design improved versions of these systems. The commercial benefit from such efforts includes the opportunity to cater to niche markets and to myriad constituencies of computer hardware hobbyists. In addition, such flowcharts can power new trains of thought that may spur the solution of current problems faced by information architects. These flowcharts also empower the chroniclers of modern science to gain a clear understanding of the multiple stages of evolution that preceded the creation of modern computer systems.
The foregoing analyses point to the importance of using flowcharts in the development of modern information systems.
