The Convergence of Organizational and End-User Computing

:Given the growing prominence of end-user computing (EUC), a survey was conducted among the senior information systems executives, from a broad-based cross-section of consumer-goods manufacturing firms, on the patterns of computing within their companies. The results indicated (1) that the definition of end-user computing is expanding considerably within their organizations; (2) that this expansion is blurring the distinction between end-user computing and traditional information systems; and (3) that these developments are, on the whole, successful and are likely to be even more so in the future. These findings suggest the need for a closer working relationship between information systems professionals and end users, building what might be called a “partnership for success.”
