    Introduction to

    Information System
    Introduction
    • An information system (IS) collects,
    processes, stores, analyses, and disseminates
    information for a specific purpose.
    • Information systems (IS) are a group of
    interrelated components that collect data,
    process the data, and distribute the resulting
    information. This helps support decision-
    making and other administrative duties
    within an organization.
    A Computer
    Based Information
    System (CBIS)
    • Also known as Information
    System is a system that
    performs some or all of its tasks
    using computer technology. An
    Information System can be
    defined technically as a set of
    interrelated components that
    collect (or receive), process,
    store and distribute information
    for specific purpose eg: support
    decision making.
    Fundamental components of IS:
    • 1) Hardware is a the physical equipment used for input, processing and
    output activities in an information system. Together, these devices accept
    data and information, process them, and display them.
    • 2)Software is a program or collection of programs that control and
    coordinate the hardware. Operating software such as linux and Microsoft
    windows, and utility software anti-virus, Application software is used for
    specific information processing needs(data management software such as
    Access
    • 3)Networks allow computers to share data and services. Range from two
    computers joined together to the biggest network (internet)
    • 4) Database is a collection of related files or tables containing data.
    • 5) Procedures are the set of instructions about how to combine hardware,
    software, databases, and networks in order to process information and
    generate the desired output.
    • 6)People(users)those individuals who use the hardware
    Is Information system
    similar to Information
    technology?
    • The difference between information
    systems and information technology is
    that information system incorporates the
    technology, people, and processes
    involved with information. Information
    technology is the design and
    implementation of information, or data,
    within the information system.
    Major Capabilities of Information
    Systems:
    • 1)Perform high-speed, high-volume numerical computations
    • 2)Provide fast communication and collaboration
    • 3)Store huge amounts of information
    • 4)Allow quick and inexpensive access to vast amounts of information
    • 5)Automate business processes and manual tasks
    Why are Information Systems Important?
    • 1)Operational Excellence: IS enables users to achieve higher level of
    efficiency and productivity.
    • 2)New product, services: IS is a major enabling tool for firms to create new
    product and service. Business are using information systems to sense and
    respond to rapidly changing customer demand. Eg: customer feedback.
    • 3) Customer and supplier Intimacy: Service providers can keep track of
    user’s preferences and improve intimacy: Hotel staff can keep track of
    guests’ preferences. When a customer arrives at the hotel, the system
    automatically changes the room conditions such as dimming the lights.
    • 4)Improved decision Making: IS enable users (e.g. mangers) to access the
    right information at the right time to make an informed decision. IS enables
    managers to quickly review employee performance ratings for pervious
    years and drill down into more details.
    What are components of computer-
    based information system Airline
    Reservation System?
    • Hardware: computers, printers
    • Software: programs to record customer
    bookings and promotions
    • Database: about flights, customers
    • Procedures: Rules, policies followed by
    airline, travel agents etc.
    • People: Customers, airline staff etc.
    • Networks: WAN.
