IIS*Case uses specialized algorithms for checking the consistency of constraints embedded in the database schema and the subschemas. If the collisions exist, at least one subschema is formally not consistent with the db schema. The process of independent design of subschemas may lead to collisions in expressing the real world constraints and business rules. It provides complete intelligent support for developing db schemas and enables designers to work together and cooperate reaching the most appropriate solutions. IIS*Case (Integrated Information Sys-tems*Case, R.6.0) is a CASE tool that we developed to support automated database (db) schema design, based on a methodology of gradual integration of independently designed subschemas into a database schema. In particular, managers should consider the application of quality management techniques for the improvement of IT quality. The research results can be used as guidelines for the implementation of an integrated approach in the application of quality management in the IT context. Thus, it could be argued that the combined effect of quality management and IT application is determined and influenced by the market ‘climate’. The mediating role of quality management is crucial for overcoming the shortcomings of IT application. The findings of this study do not support the theoretical assumptions related to the direct effect of IT application on organisational performance. The relationships between the dimensions of quality management, IT and organisational performance are examined using structural equation modelling. The research model was empirically tested and found to be valid and reliable. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire on a sample of 160 organisations. However, little is known about the nature of their effects in transitional conditions. Many studies involving these organisational aspects are carried out in the regions with developed capitalism. This study examines the impact of quality management and application of information technologies (IT) on organisational performance in transitional economies. By relying on domain-specific languages, the proposed approach should allow generation of information systems supporting document manipulation within a document flow and process mining. With respect to these claims, we formulate a document-centric and model-driven approach to information system development, explain its particularities, and present a plan of activities that should lead to its implementation. In this position paper, we argue in favour of three points related to document-centric modelling of information systems: (i) information systems of some organizations may be understood in terms of documents, actions, actors, and document flow (ii) modelling document flow may be a central step in modelling an information system and (iii) as an approach to information system modelling, document flow modelling may be coupled with the form-based approach to information system development that is featured in IIS*Case, a model-driven development tool, because the form concept is semantically close to the document concept.
