Visual Flow Interface (VFI) is a generic management software tool for any
user in different industries which is similar to implementing a Graphical
User Interface (GUI) on Database Applications for the front end. VFI
revolutionizes the principle of Management Information System (MIS)
design and will launch a new generation of MIS. VFI's innovative
contribution to MIS includes two key points: (1) A user's specific
managerial and technological process is independent from the program of
the MIS. Users can design their managerial and technologic process
themselves or make any change freely without redesigning the program of
the MIS; and (2) VFI focuses on the unique functional common character of
different flows in all different industries and designs a visual image
"Sandwich" to represent the functional common character. The Sandwich is
a very simple idea but solves a very complicated problem for designing a
generic MIS.
