The Need for a Universal Catalogue

This article discusses the need for a universal catalogue; illustrates its applicability in various organizations, and shows how an organization can effectively adapt to its purposes in spite of seemingly large differences among the various catalogues that deal with various subjects in different organizations. The purpose of this study is to bestow upon the catalogue the status it should have in the eyes of the systems analysts, system designers and management. The conclusion reached in this work is that the parametric concept of a universal catalogue proves itself as a more reliable and efficient approach than the one preaching individual solutions for every particular organization.
