Bu kitap “Bili?im Teknolojileri (BT) Ekonomisi ve Toplumu” adl? ilk kitab?mda BT’lerin hayat?m?z? de?i?tirdi?i d?rt yerdeki (Evde, okulda, kentlerde ve i?yerlerinde) incelememin ü?üncüsü olan i?yerlerindeki etkileri üzerinedir. Daha ?nce “Bili?im Teknolojileri Destekli ??renim” ve “Bili?im Kentleri ?a??” adl? kitaplar?mda BT’lerin okul ve kent ya?am?ndaki etkilerini detaylar?yla inceledim. 30 y?l? a?an i? hayat?mda BT’lerin i? dünyas?n? ve y?netimini kurulan Bili?im Sistemleri (BS) vas?tas?yla nas?l de?i?tirdi?ini ya?ayarak bildi?imden bu konu i?in uzun bir ara?t?rma yapmak zorunda oldu?umu biliyordum. Di?er yandan 592 sayfay? bulan bu ara?t?rmada sayfa s?n?rlamas? amac?yla BS’lerle ilgili baz? konular? (?rne?in Toplam Kalite Y?netimi, 6 Sigma, Simülasyon, Gereksinim Y?netimi, Programlama vs.) kitap haricinde b?rakmak zorunda kald???m? da belirtmeliyim. Bu kitapta a??rl?kl? olarak BT’lerin i?letmelerdeki uygulamas? olan Bili?im Sistemlerinden bahsettim ?ünkü BT’ler BS’ler vas?tas?yla i?letmeleri ve y?netimlerini etkilemektedirler. Dünyan?n en h?zl? bilgisayar?n? veya en yeni ak?ll? telefonunu sat?n alman?z veya en h?zl? internet eri?imine sahip olman?z i?letmeye ekstra bir katk? sa?lamamaktad?r. Ne zaman ki bu ara?lar i?letme süre?lerinin otomasyonunu sa?layan BS’ler i?inde kullan?lmaya ba?lan?nca i?letme rekabet?ili?ine, kar?na veya maliyetlerinin kontrolüne bir faydas? olabilmektedir. Bu yüzden i?letme y?neticilerinin bilmesi gereken en ?nemli konu BT ara?lar?n? ve di?er yeni teknolojik ara?lar? i?letme i? süre?lerinde nas?l verimli ve etkin bir ?ekilde kullanabileceklerini bilmeleridir. Bilmiyorlarsa da bilenleri i?e almalar?d?r. En son yenilikleri kullanmak belki de firmaya zarar vermekte veya rekabet dezavantaj? olu?turmaktad?r. Bu a??dan ?ncelikle bugün BS’lerin hangi i?letme fonksiyonlar?n? nas?l etkiledi?ini ve gelecekte nas?l etkileyebilece?ini anlatmaya ?al??t?m. ?rne?in, Yapay Zek? (YZ) ve onun en ?nemli uygulamalar?ndan birisi olan Robotiklerin i? süre?leri ve i?letme y?netimlerini yak?n bir zamanda nas?l etkileyebilece?inden bahsettim. Endüstri 4.0 teknolojileriyle insan ve makinelerin birlikte nas?l verimli ve etkin bir ?ekilde ?al??malar? gerekti?i insanl???n ve i?letmelerin ?nünde duran en ?nemli konulardan birisi oldu?unu s?ylemek fazla fütüristik bir kehanet de?il. Kitapta ??letmelerde kullan?lan Bili?im Sistemleriyle ilgili temel konulara bir bütünlük i?inde bakarken kitab?n arka kapa??ndaki sorular? cevaplamaya ?al??t?m. Bili?im Sistemleri aras?ndaki ili?kileri, farkl?l?klar?n? ve birbirlerini nas?l tamamlad?klar?n? sat?r aralar?nda vermeye ?al??t?m. BS’lerle i?letme süre?lerinin nas?l bütünle?tirilece?i i?letmelerdeki en yeni y?netim sorunlar? oldu?u unutulmamal?d?r. ??letme y?neticilerinin hat?rlamas? gereken bir ?nemli konuda BS’lerin bir yaz?l?m ve de?i?im projesi olmas?d?r. Bili?im Teknolojileri ve Sistemleri okuryazarl??? i?in bilinmesi gereken baz? teknik, bilimsel ve teknolojik terimlerin k?saltmalar?n? kitapta ilk kullan?ld???nda uzun ve k?salt?lm?? yaz?l?mlar?yla birlikte kulland?m. ?rne?in Veritabanlar? (VT), Veri ??leme Sistemi (V?S), Kurumsal ?? Zek?s? (K?Z), Y?netim Bili?im Sistemi (YBS), Karar Destek Sistemi (KDS), Veri Ambar? (VA), Veri Madencili?i (VM), Kurumsal Kaynak Planlama (KKP), Mü?teri ?li?kileri Y?netimi (M?Y), Tedarik Zinciri Y?netimi (TZY), Ofis Otomasyon Sistemi (OOS) ve Bilgi Y?netimi (BY) en fazla kulland???m k?saltmalard?r. Kitap sonundaki “K?saltmalar” tablosunda tüm k?saltmalar? listelemeye ?al??t?m. Ayr?ca bir?ok terimin ?ngilizcesini de parantez i?inde vermeye ?al??t?m. ?rne?in Veritabanlar? (Database) gibi. Dilimize girmi? bir?ok yabanc? teknik terim ve kelimelerin Türk?esini kullanmaya ?zen g?sterdim ve bu yabanc? kelimeleri de parantez i?inde yazd?m. Ayr?ca BT’lerin BS’ler vas?tas?yla i?letmeler üzerindeki etkilerini incelerken, birazda üniversitelerimizde YBS b?lümlerinde okutulan BS’lerle ilgili uzmanl?k konular?n?n ?o?unu ?zetlemeye ?al??t?m. ?zellikle i? Dünyas?nda ?ok?a kullan?lan baz? konulara (V?S, YBS, KDS, VT, VA, BY, US, KKP, M?Y, Sistem yakla??m?, SGYD vs.) biraz detayl? bakmaya ?al??t?m. K?sacas? kitapta i?letmelerde Bili?im Teknolojileri ve Sistemleri denince akla gelebilecek bir?ok konuya de?inmeye ?al??t?m. Bu yüzden bu kitab?n BS alan?nda bir elkitab? veya kaynak kitap olarak dü?ünülmesinde fayda vard?r. Bu kitapta ilkokul ??retmenim Say?n ?erare ?zya?c? han?mdan, en son Doktora tez dan??man?m say?n Prof. Dr. Len Rogers’a kadar yüzlerce ki?inin eme?inin oldu?u unutulmamal?d?r. 1984’ten beri Türkiye, ABD, Kanada ve ?ngiltere de ?al??t???m veya dan??manl???n? yapt???m onlarca firma ve mü?terilerimin katk?lar?n? unutabilir miyim? Burada isim isim te?ekkür edemedi?im ancak bu kitab?n yaz?lmas?nda katk?lar? olan daha yüzlerce ki?i var, hepsine en i?ten dileklerimle te?ekkür ederim. Hayatta neyi tek ba??m?za yapabiliyoruz ki? Bu kitap 30+ y?ld?r üretim planlama ve stok kontrol müdürü, metot etüdcü, sistem analisti, programc?, VT tasar?mc?s?

“Bili?im Teknolojileri” konusunda yazd???m ü? kitaptan sonra as?l uzmanl?k alan?m olan veritabanlar? konusunda uzun y?llar ?nce yazmaya ba?lay?p bitiremedi?im daha do?rusu bas?lmayan bu kitab? güncelleyerek yeniden yazmaya karar vermek benim a??mdan yeni bir heyecan oldu. 1980’lerde COBOL ile ba?layan ve 1990’da dBase ve Informix’le devam eden veritaban? tecrübelerim, 1995 sonras? MS-Access ve SQL Server yard?m?yla geli?tirdi?im 100’e yak?n veritaban? uygulama programlar?yla devam etti. 1996’da Dallas’ta MCI Systemhouse’da FrontPage ve Access 95’le veritaban?na dayal? Intranet web siteleri geli?tiren ilk ki?ilerden birisi ben oldum. 1999’da Movo Mediya’da ilk ??p?atan web sitesi www.dating.com'un?arkas?ndaki SQL Server veritabanlar?n? tasarlayan ve y?neten ki?i de bendim. 2000 y?l?nda Aris Genesis Intermedia Inc’de web tabanl? muhasebe program?n?n arkas?ndaki SQL Server veritaban? tasar?mc?lar?ndan biriside bendim. Büyük al??veri? merkezlerinde g?rülen Kiosk’lar?n SQL Server tabanl? ilk uygulamas?n? Los Angeles’de kuran Genesis Intermedia Inc’deki tasar?mlar? yapan ki?ilerden birisi de bendim. 2001’de Los Angeles’de SQL Server ve ASP 3.0’la Citibank’ta kredi kartlar?yla ilgili projenin mimarlar?ndan biriside bendim. K?sacas? Veritabanlar?n?n Web’de kullan?lmas?nda ilk ?al??an ve tasarlayanlardan birisi oldu?umu s?ylemeliyim. 1995-2000 y?llar? aras?nda ya?anan ve dot com bom olarak bilinen metaforun i?inde bir fiil ?al??an ve yarat?c?lar?ndan birisiydim. Veritabanlar?n?n Internet’e ba?lanmas? i?in geli?tirilen ilk projelerinde uzun y?llar Kalifornya, New York ve Colorado firmalar?nda ?al??t?m ve dan??manl?k yapt?m. Bu tecrübelerim s?ras?nda ??rendi?im en ?nemli ?ey; tek bir konuda uzman olmak gerekti?idir. Ben Ms-Access ve SQL Server veritabanlar? tasar?m?nda uzmanla?t?m. Bir?ok teklif olmas?na ra?men Oracle, DB2, Aproach, File Maker gibi veritabanlar? tasar?mlar?yla ilgilenmedim ?ünkü her biri ayr? bir uzmanl?k isteyen veritaban? yaz?l?mlar?d?r. Bu a??dan ?zellikle Bili?im sekt?ründe ?al??anlara verebilece?im en ?nemli tavsiye tek bir konuda hatta tek bir programda uzmanla?malar?d?r. Kitapta Veritabanlar? tasar?m?n? Access ve SQL Server projeleri üzerinden anlatmaya ?al??t?m. University of Phoenix’de verdi?im Veritabanlar? ve Veri Ambarlar? ders notlar?m bu kitab?n omurgas?n? olu?turmaktad?r. Veritabanlar?yla ilgili kavramlar?, felsefesini, tasar?m?n? ve birazda y?netimini detaylar?yla anlatmaya ?al??t?m. Umut ediyorum ki yeni Veritaban? tasar?mc?lar? ve y?neticilerine burada payla?t???m enformasyon faydal? olur. 30 y?ll?k Bili?im Teknolojileri ve ?zellikle veritaban? alan?ndaki tecrübelerimin bir?o?unu bu kitapta okuyucularla payla?maya ?al??t?m. Daha ?nceki kitaplar?mda da vurgulad???m gibi bu kitapta da ilkokul ??retmenim Say?n ?erare ?zya?c? han?mdan, en son Doktora tez dan??man?m Say?n Prof. Dr. Len Rogers’a kadar yüzlerce ki?inin eme?inin oldu?u unutulmamal?d?r. 1984’ten beri Türkiye, ABD, Kanada ve ?ngiltere de ?al??t???m veya dan??manl???n? yapt???m onlarca firma ve mü?terilerimin katk?lar?n? unutabilir miyim? Di?er kitaplarda oldu?u gibi bu kitab?n yaz?lmas?nda bana katlanan e?im Meliha ?oruh’a ve o?lum Bu?ra’ya da en ba?tan te?ekkür etmeliyim. Burada isim isim te?ekkür edemedi?im ancak bu kitab?n yaz?lmas?nda katk?lar? olan daha yüzlerce ki?i var, hepsine en i?ten dileklerimle te?ekkür ediyorum. Elinizde tuttu?unuz bu kitap 30 y?ld?r Bili?im Teknolojileri alan?nda yapt???m ??retim, ?al??ma ve tecrübelerin veritabanlar? alan?nda kay?t alt?na al?nm?? bir ?zetidir. Tabii ki kitab?n hatalar? ve eksikleri vard?r ve bunlar tamamen bana aittir. Kitapta Veritabanlar? denince akla gelebilecek bir?ok konuya de?inmeye ?al??t?m. Kitapta teori ile uygulamay? birlikte harmanlamaya ?al??t?m. Bu yüzden bu kitab?n bir elkitab? veya kaynak kitap olarak dü?ünülmesinde fayda vard?r. ? Mustafa ?oruh Kdz. Ere?li, Mart 2017
