Basic company’s sources and the elements of evalua-
tion have a very old history. The usage of information
technologies substantially speeded up the realisa-
tion of single company operations, but actually the
essence of management has not changed. in reality,
there are the basic principles on which any successful
company must be based. The principles according to
which the success of any company is judged can be
set according to its demands. criteria can be various
– short-term profit, long-term profit, market share
or ratio indicators – return of investment (roi),
Free cash Flow (FcF), the index of customer satis-
faction, frequency of repeating purchases, costs for
education, number of improving proposals. Some
technical indicators can be used as an evaluating
criterion – for instance the share of administrative
work realised by the means of modern information
technologies, the number of contacts with business
partners realised by means of the most modern in-
formation technology. however, the evaluation of
the firm must be unambiguous. Quality data and
information are necessary for the overall evaluation
of the firm. The quality of the documents is fully
dependent on the quality of the company’s data
and information, then on the information system
quality. The information system of the company is
fully dependent on the human factor, it means on
the managers of the company and on the ability of
users to use the system. The contribution solves the
issue of the management of information and com-
munication technologies and information systems
in the chosen sample of a company.

Abstract:
We can see that the today’s management level of informations is not quite fully controlled in most businesses.
nowadays generation of information systems creates support for business processes with the aim of optimalization of these
processes on the bases of experiences with similar business processes. Today’s information systems are at the level of data
management or information management. Quite a few manage information processes in the area of tactical and strategic
planning and almost no one manages processes in the areas of gathering, distribution and sharing of knowledge in business.
We can say, that investments to the information technologies do not guarantee the successful way to the management of
information and knowledge in business.
