“…In addition, decision makers often have their reasons to keep certain criteria implicit, and computer support that requires an absolute transparency from them is unlikely to be fully embraced. Since tacit criteria are habitual and unavoidable in decision processes (Nevo & Wand 2005, Saaty 2005, it is necessary to allow a human analyst or decision maker to apply such criteria in assessing the suitability of each option. For this purpose, he or she needs to see the situation and the options and to interact with decision parameters in a flexible way.…”

This article summarizes the results of the workshop on Visualization, Analytics & Spatial Decision Support, which took place at the GIScience conference in September 2006. The discussions at the workshop and analysis of the state of the art have revealed a need in concerted cross-disciplinary efforts to achieve substantial progress in supporting space-related decision making. The size and complexity of real-life problems together with their ill-defined nature call for a true synergy between the power of computational techniques and the human capabilities to analyze, envision, reason, and deliberate. Existing methods and tools are yet far from enabling this synergy. Appropriate methods can only appear as a result of a focused research based on the achievements in the fields of geovisualization and information visualization, human-computer interaction, geographic information science, operations research, data mining and machine learning, decision science, cognitive science, and other disciplines. The name 'Geovisual Analytics for Spatial Decision Support' suggested for this new research direction emphasizes the importance of visualization and interactive visual interfaces and the link with the emerging research discipline of Visual Analytics. This article, as well as the whole special issue, is meant to attract the attention of scientists with relevant expertise and interests to the major challenges requiring multidisciplinary efforts and to promote the establishment of a dedicated research community where an appropriate range of competences is combined with an appropriate breadth of thinking

“…The processes of Organizational Memory involving the acquisition, preservation, search, maintenance and recovery are faster and more accurate when automated by Organizational Memory Information Systems (OMIS) (Nevo & Wand, 2005). Within organizations, these systems began with large databases of complex information, having evolved later to more distributed systems developed according to the principles of the Theory of Transactive Memory (Brandon & Holligshead, 2004: Lewis & Herndon, 2011.…”

“…Another important aspect to consider is that system manufacturers will hardly develop and deliver to market a specific system for organizational memory, ie, an Organizational Memory Information System (OMIS), as described by Nevo & Wand (2005) since several features are already present in systems offered to the market, including ERP systems, widely used by organizations of various sizes and segments.…”

With this research, in the form of a theoretical essay addressing the theme of Organizational Memory and Integrated Management Systems (ERP), we tried to present some evidence of how this type of system can contribute to the consolidation of certain features of Organizational Memory. From a theoretical review of the concepts of Human Memory, extending to the Organizational Memory and Information Systems, with emphasis on Integrated Management Systems (ERP) we tried to draw a parallel between the functions and structures of Organizational Memory and features and characteristics of ERPs. The choice of the ERP system for this study was made due to the complexity and broad scope of this system. It was verified that the ERPs adequately support many functions of the Organizational Memory, highlighting the implementation of logical processes, practices and rules in business. It is hoped that the dialogue presented here can contribute to the advancement of the understanding of organizational memory, since the similarity of Human Memory is a fertile field and there is still much to be researched.Keywords: Human Memory, Memory Organizational, Information System, ERP. RESUMOCom esta pesquisa, no formato de ensaio teórico abordou-se o tema da Memória Organizacional e os Sistemas Integrados de Gestão (ERP), buscando apresentar alguns indícios de como este tipo de sistema pode colaborar para a consolidação de algumas funcionalidades da Memória Organizacional. A partir de uma revisão teórica sobre os conceitos da Memória Humana, com extensão à Memória Organizacional e Sistemas de Informação, com ênfase nos Sistemas Integrados de Gestão (ERP), procurou-se estabelecer um paralelo entre as funcionalidades e estruturas da Memória Organizacional e as funcionalidades e características dos ERPs. A escolha do sistema ERP para este estudo deveu-se à complexidade e escopo abrangente deste sistema. Pôde-se constatar que os ERPs suportam de forma adequada algumas funções da Memória Organizacional, com destaque à implementação das lógicas, processos, práticas e regras vigentes de negócio. Espera-se que o diálogo aqui apresentado possa contribuir para o avanço do entendimento da Memória Organizacional, visto que à semelhança da Memória Humana, é um campo fértil e ainda existe muito a ser pesquisado.Palavras-chave: Memória Humana, Memória Organizacional, Sistema de Informação, ERP.
