Abstract

Integrated information systems represent a key element of the digital transformation of public enterprises, enabling data integration, improvement of business process control, and an increase in transparency. This paper analyzes the effects of implementing an integrated information system in the Public Forestry Enterprise “Forests of the Republic of Srpska” JSC Sokolac, which integrates SAP ERP, a Geographic Information System (GIS), and a Document Management System (DMS). Preliminary implementation results indicate concrete operational improvements, including the elimination of a 24-hour data synchronization delay, reduction of the field data collection cycle from 48 hours to near-real-time, instant document retrieval through the DMS, and automatic invoice generation upon mobile application synchronization. Once fully operational, the system is expected to further improve efficiency, control, transparency, and analytical management. 

Special focus is placed on the identification of effects in the areas of operational efficiency, work organization, control and transparency of business operations, as well as the improvement of analytical capacities through the application of BI and OLAP technologies. 

The research results indicate that the implementation of an integrated information system creates the preconditions for data centralization, standardization of business processes, and the establishment of a unified information environment. The integration of SAP ERP and GIS enables more comprehensive monitoring of the forest timber assortment production process and the improvement of analytical capacities through the application of BI tools. 

A particularly significant contribution of the system is reflected in the possibility of linking planned and realized activities, thereby creating the preconditions for more efficient business monitoring and decision-making based on reliable data. 

The integrated information system represents an important tool for improving efficiency and data-driven decision-making, while the achieved implementation results indicate significant potential for further development through advanced analytical methods and digital resource management.
