Use of IT by Alaska Department of Fish and Game

Transactional information encompasses all of the information contained within a single business process or unit of work, and its primary purpose is to support the performing of daily operational tasks. Analytical information encompasses all organizational information, and its primary purpose is to support the performing of managerial analysis tasks. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is using transactional information to make analytical decisions. The transactional information includes the daily fish tickets from the commercial fishing boats that include the species caught, weight, and quantity. Fish escapement information from remote areas is tracked by field workers positioned in towers who scan rivers to visibly count fish. The analytical decisions that are made from this information include determining whether or not fishermen can fish each day.
