Sažetak
Information and Communication Technology is one of the most important components of modern enterprises. Information and Communication Technology can be defined as the coverage of computer hardware, software, networks and media for collection, storage and memory, processing and transmission of data and presentation of information in the form of voice, data, text and images. Information technology with fast communication and the possibility of using a distributed database and centralized data warehouse and locally distributed decision support tool supports non-hierarchical organization of work where the rapid changes in the business environment, individuals and workgroups in the realization of the task largely independent and can quickly adapt to change and respond to new challenges. Electronic business leads to optimization of operations and opportunities for faster and better decision- making. However, the growing need for new types of information and communication infrastructure increases the costs of doing business and is an important factor of competitiveness in the market. The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyse the application of Information and Communication Technology in the enterprises in Eastern Croatia. The authors analyse the possibilities and costs of the introduction and use of the leased information and communications infrastructure in eight cities of Eastern Croatia. They thereby use a range of scientific research methods (methods of analysis, comparison, induction, deduction, description and classification, etc.) as well as individual mathematical-statistical methods used for the analysis and ranking of certain parameters. In the paper, the enterprises are divided by size, and the analysis is done according to projected needs of companies based on the number of users and average requirements for services. The authors researched the costs establishment of enterprise and the cost of taxes, local taxes and other fees for each city separately. Based on the results the cost of infrastructure was calculated for each city. Based on these costs the cities were allocated ranks of feasibility of establishment and the possibility to increase the competitiveness of existing businesses in the market.
