Evolution of the development of enterprise management information systems

The relevance of this topic is directly related to the need to increase the level of competitiveness of Ukrainian enterprises, which in comparison with foreign still remains low. The purpose of the article is to analyze modern scientific developments in the field of management decision support systems based on the analysis of their evolutionary development. It is established that the development of IT systems that support management began in the 1950s and 1960s. The oldest IT systems were called transactional or data processing systems. The first systems were simple: they used calculating and analytical machines. They were based on mass operations, which were accompanied by significant costs and low reliability. These systems were used to calculate wages, material management, invoicing, accounting, control of receivables and payables, accounting for working time and its efficiency, as well as accounting for production costs. The turn of the 20th and 21st centuries is a period of dynamic changes in the development of IT systems that support management, mainly through network systems, corporate intranets and knowledge management systems. It is substantiated that Business In-Intelligence (BI) systems are the culmination of the evolution of changes in the field of decision support systems and system expertise. They form solutions based on: statistics and econometrics, operational research and artificial intelligence. The genesis of IT systems allowed to determine the stages of development of integrated management systems, which developed in parallel with the above generation of systems and aimed at supporting the implementation of management functions. Initially, these were Material Requirements Planning (MRP I) systems, created in the 1960s based on the inventory management model. (for manufacturing enterprises), then the Closed Loop MRP (MRP) model and the Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP II) system. Another version of these systems is the Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) systems created in the 1990s. Changed functional contents of these systems have led to the appearance of such versions as ERP II, EERP (Extended ERP), @ERP, EAS (Enterprise Application Suite), eERP, IERP (Intelligent ERP ERP), ERP +, ERP III and are characterized as a new generation integrated systems - ERP IV. It is proved that the emergence of new versions of systems is the result of changing business conditions and opportunities created by the development of ICT
