Richard·L·Nolan, an American management information system expert, put forward a famous stage model of information system evolution, namely Nolan model, by summarizing the practice and experience of developing information systems in more than 200 companies and departments. Nolan believes that enterprise informatization construction usually goes through six stages: initial stage, expansion stage, control stage, unification stage, data management stage and maturity stage.<br> Initial stage: the computer just entered the enterprise, only used as office equipment, with very few applications, usually used to complete some report statistics, and even used as a typewriter most of the time; Expansion stage: enterprises have a certain understanding of computers and want to use computers to solve problems in their work, such as more data processing, which will bring convenience to management and business; Control stage: after the previous stage of blindly purchasing machines and blindly customizing and developing software, enterprise managers realized that the use of computers was out of control, IT investment increased rapidly, but the benefits were not ideal, so they began to control the development of computer information systems as a whole, objectively demanding organization and coordination to solve the problem of data sharing; Unified stage: On the basis of control, enterprises begin to re-plan and design, establish basic databases and build a unified information management system. The IT construction of enterprises began to develop from decentralized and single point to systematic; Data management stage: the senior management of the enterprise realizes the importance of information strategy, information becomes an important resource of the enterprise, and the informatization construction of the enterprise really enters the data processing stage; Mature stage: At this stage, information systems can meet the needs of enterprises at all levels, from simple transaction processing to supporting efficient management decisions.<br> Nolan stage model has guiding significance for K company's informatization construction, and the optimization suggestions of informatization construction put forward in the last chapter of this paper are analyzed in depth under the guidance of Nolan stage model.
