Chapter Fifty-Six: The Lonely Goose

After Qi Jingtao finished talking about his lofty theory, he no longer paid attention to the stunned Xu Manli, took an empty bowl and porcelain spoon, sat down on the dining table and began to enjoy his breakfast. In the morning, time was precious, and Su Min and Xu Manli saw that the frog prince had started to eat his rice noodles, so they stopped arguing and began to enjoy their breakfast.

The pot of rice noodles in the casserole is very hot, and eating the rice noodles in the casserole is either to wait for the sand nest to cool down to the point that it is not hot before eating, or to take it out with a bowl and eat it separately. Qi Jingtao, who was in a hurry to go to work, naturally ate while digging out the bowl.

Opposite, two elegant white-collar beauties each have a glass of hot fresh milk, a plate of delicate pastries, and a poached egg.

How does this picture look so incongruous!

Su Min and Xu Manli, who hurriedly ate early and walked four kilometers back and forth every day to commute to and from work as a way to exercise, went out first, walked to work, and Qi Jingtao, who had a motorcycle to travel, cleaned up the mess and then went out.

According to the work plan submitted to the leaders last week, Qi Jingtao rode a motorcycle directly to the tobacco storage area, which is more than five kilometers away from the office area. Today, his on-site training leads mobile training at four locations in the region.

Due to the adjustment of the May Day holiday, the following work week seems to be particularly long. Listening to the various complaints of the business staff about working for seven consecutive days in their spare time, Qi Jingtao suddenly found that he, a department member who should work in the information center, had not returned to his office for seven days.

In recent months, he has been on duty for more than three months on the night shift, and only when the information center has a regular meeting will he be called to attend. The resumption of the Changbai shift in April finally made it difficult for colleagues who were used to his absence during the day to have activities to call him, so that he felt like he was returning to the organization. Unexpectedly, after enjoying the normal commuting life for less than a month, he began to wander away from the army again, and before he knew it, it was the weekend, and he didn't expect that he was an organized person.

As is customary, at 10:00 a.m. on the last day of each week, there is a weekend meeting in the Information Center, and all members must attend on time. Looking at the time, it was already 9:27, Qi Jingtao hurriedly said hello to the business personnel who were being trained, and immediately hurriedly rode a motorcycle to the group office area.

Coming to the door of the science and technology building at 9:55, there was still time, and Qi Jingtao, who was relieved, still quickened his pace and took the stairs to the office. Arrive at the office at 9:56. To Qi Jingtao's surprise, the office was empty, and he should go to the conference room to prepare for the meeting. Qi Jingtao walked to the desk where he hadn't been in for a week, took out his work notebook from the file shelf, and ran quickly to the conference room.

Arriving at the door of the conference room, Liu Zheng, director of the information center, who was standing in front of a whiteboard full of handwriting, saw him, paused slightly, waved him in, and continued to speak. Seeing that his colleagues turned their heads to watch, Qi Jingtao smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly went in to find a vacant seat to sit down.

Zhang Hong, who was sitting next to him, leaned over and asked softly, "Why did you come?"

Qi Jingtao didn't speak, opened his notebook, and wrote on it: "Go to the tobacco reservoir area for training, and rush back for a regular meeting." What time does it start, and what's the point?"

Zhang Hong smiled and began to write in his notebook: "Start at 8:30, use the stand-alone version of the software to change the internal network version." With a little bit of a pen, continue to listen attentively to the explanation of the Grand Commander,

Qi Jingtao saw that he had sketched a lot of handwriting patterns in his notebook, and knew that today's regular meeting might have started earlier. Obviously, the Commander-in-Chief is starting again today, and he is explaining new topics instead of the work of the regular weekly meeting.

The time of the weekly meeting arranged by the information center is basically fixed, there are no special circumstances, and the content of the regular meeting is basically fixed: the implementation of the work plan of this week, the progress of completion, the existing problems, the solution plan, and the work plan for the next week. It consists of two parts: the work plan of the information center department and the work plan of the individual.

The weekly meeting of the department is not necessarily presided over by Liu Zheng, the director of the information center, but under normal circumstances, Director Liu will let the staff of the information center take turns to preside over the weekly meeting.

If there is an adjustment in the time of the regular meeting, Chen Yanan, who is part-time in charge of the work plan and task arrangement of the information center, will notify the information center staff. Today's such an important internal training was personally delivered by Director Liu Zheng, and the time was scheduled to start at 8:30, and Chen Yanan should have arranged to notify all the participants to participate yesterday. If there is no urgent task, the information center staff will not go to the business department this morning to do business.

Qi Jingtao didn't receive any phone calls yesterday or this morning. I stayed in the warehousing department yesterday afternoon, and before getting off work, I checked the voucher entry at the six business points of the warehousing department before going home. None of the business personnel in the warehousing department told him that the information center had called, and no one informed him of the changes in today's regular meeting. That's not right!

The Grand Commander was still explaining, Qi Jingtao adjusted his emotions, sat sideways in the direction of the Grand Commander, and listened carefully to what the leader was explaining.

“…… There are a lot of information silos. Notice the word, information island, what is information island?"

Liu Zheng, director of the information center, paused to scan everyone, turned around and wrote on the whiteboard: information island. He continued: "An island, as the name suggests, is an island that exists in isolation. It is not difficult to understand that it is introduced into information systems and called information islands. It refers to a computer application system that is not related to each other in terms of function, does not share and exchange information, and is disconnected from business processes and applications.

We are all programmers, and we all have the experience and experience of designing and maintaining computer application systems, are there any connections between your data sources, and the computer application systems you are responsible for, how many are related, and how are they related?

…… The computer application system outside is the same as the inside of our enterprise, there are a large number of various information islands.

…… Information silos are a concept that is embodied in the following levels. Data islands, information islands, system islands, information islands, business islands......

In the development of stand-alone applications, data silos are the most prevalent form and exist between all application systems that need to share and exchange data. With the deepening of the application of computer technology in enterprises, the data and information between different software, especially between different departments, can not be shared, the data of design, management and production can not be communicated, and the data is disjointed, that is, the information island is generated, which is bound to bring difficulties such as the need to repeat the input of information many times, the existence of great redundancy of information, a large amount of garbage information, and the consistency of information exchange cannot be guaranteed.

……

Now, you understand why the stand-alone version of the computer application system should be further improved and upgraded to the network version, right?"

The Grand Commander nodded the whiteboard in a teacher's manner, returned to his seat and took a sip of water, glancing around at the attendees. Seeing Qi Jingtao, who was taking Zhang Hong's notebook next to him to look at the previous content, he smiled, "Hehehe, Xiao Qi, why are you late?" Give a reason. ”
