The construction of Web-based information systems

Abstract

The Web Technology was created to divulge the scientific knowledge, although it has been used as a way to access several types of business information systems as well as to facilitate the communication between them, generating many business opportunities for the organizations. Web-based information systems (WIS) have characteristics that allow us to assume their development is different from non-Web information systems. In this text we conceptualized Web-based information systems and presented some impacts, observed through multi-case studies, in the management of Information Systems Development.
