Contributions on the application of IDEF 0 modelling for collaborative design of information systems integration for local and area service process management

This paper discusses the use of a set of modeling concepts used in the field of systems and software engineering known as IDEF, which stands for “Integration Definition”. Specifically, IDEF0 is used for the purpose of representing the many activities, actions, and choices that occur within an organization. Applying IDEF0 modeling to collaborative design in the context of integrating local and area service process management information systems can provide stakeholders with the ability to visually represent and understand the processes that are involved in integrating local and area service process management information systems. Benefits include the use of a clear visualisation helps to improve communication between stakeholders, which in turn helps to build a shared understanding of the collaborative design process. In conclusion, the use of IDEF0 modelling in collaborative design for information systems integration brings clarity, efficiency and strategic alignment to the process. It provides companies with a structured framework that enables them to traverse the complexities of managing local and area service processes. In addition, it encourages collaboration between stakeholders and optimises integration efforts to achieve better results.
