1. information
technology
 the study or use of technology for storing,
retrieving, and sending information.
2.Defined information
system
A set of interrelated components that collect,
process, store, and disseminate data
and information; an information system
provides a feedback mechanism to
monitor and control its operation to
make sure it continues to meet its goals
and objectives.
 Data:
 Raw facts.
 Information:
 A collection of facts organized in such a way
that they have additional value beyond the
facts.
 Process:
 Set of logically related tasks.
 Knowledge:
 Awareness and understanding of a set of
information.
3.Discuss the role of I.S. in biasness area
 Information Storage and Analysis

 At the date of publication, many companies no longer manage their data and
information manually with registers and hard-copy formats. Through the adoption of
information systems, companies can make use of sophisticated and comprehensive
databases that can contain all imaginable pieces of data about the company.
Information systems store, update and even analyze the information, which the
company can then use to pinpoint solutions to current or future problems.
Furthermore, these systems can integrate data from various sources, inside and
outside the company, keeping the company up to date with internal performance
and external opportunities and threats.
 Assist With Making Decisions
 The long-term success of a company depends upon the adequacy of its strategic
plans. An organization’s management team uses information systems to formulate
strategic plans and make decisions for the organization's longevity and prosperity.
The business uses information systems to evaluate information from all sources,
including information from external references such as Reuters or Bloomberg, which
provide information on the general economy. This analysis of and comparison to
market trends helps organizations analyze the adequacy and quality of their
strategic decisions.
 Almost every aspect (sales, accounting, hr,
inventory, ,…) of any business size (from
corporation to startups) utilize software to be
more efficient and gain competitive advantage.
 Information System allows you to have holistic
view of those systems and will help you
whether you will be on technical or business
side.
 Knowing Information System will enable you
more easily to dive into more details to any
other domain specific system, while still having
the bigger picture in your head.
5.Describe the characteristic
of valuable information
 Accessible
Information should be easily accessible by authorized users so
they can obtain it in the right format and at the right time to
meet their needs.
 Accurate
Accurate information is error free. In some cases, inaccurate
information is generated because inaccurate data is fed into the
transformation process. This is commonly called garbage in,
garbage out.
 Complete
Complete information contains all the important facts. For
example, an investment report that does not include all
important costs is not complete.
 Economical
Information should also be relatively economical to produce.
Decision makers must always balance the value of information
with the cost of producing it.
 Flexible
Flexible information can be used for a variety of purposes. For
example, information on how much inventory is on hand for a
particular part can be used by a sales representative in closing
a sale, by a production manager to determine whether more
inventory is needed, and by a financial executive to determine
the amount of money the company has invested in inventory.
 Relevant
Relevant information is important to the decision maker.
Information showing that lumber prices might drop is probably
not relevant to a computer chip manufacturer.
 Reliable
Reliable information can be trusted by users. In
many cases,
the reliability of the information depends on the
reliability of the data-collection method. In other
instances, reliability depends on the source of
the information. A rumor from an unknown
source that oil prices might go up may not be
reliable.
 Secure
Information should be secure from access by
unauthorized users.
 Simple
Information should be simple, not complex. Sophisticated and
detailed information might not be needed. In fact, too much
information can cause information overload, whereby a
decision
maker has too much information and is unable to deter
Mine what is really important.
 Timely
Timely information is delivered when it is needed. Knowing
last week’s weather conditions will not help when trying to
decide what coat to wear today.
 Verifiable
Information should be verifiable. This means that you can
check it to make sure it is correct, perhaps by checking many
sources for the same information.
6.List the component of
both types of I.S.
 I.S.
 Collect (input).
 Manipulate (process).
 Store.
 Disseminate (output) data and information.
 Provide a corrective reaction (feedback) to meet
an objective .
 CBIS
 Hardware
 software
 networks
 people
 and procedures
7.Identify classification of I.S. and
discuss who use them and how are
they used
 Transaction Processing Systems (TPS).
 Which capture and process the detailed data necessary to

update records about
 the fundamental business operations of the organization.
 Management Information Systems (MIS).
 is an organized collection of people, procedures, software,
databases, and devices that provides routine information to
managers and decision makers.
 Decision Support Systems (DSS).
 executive information systems, online analytical processing,
business intelligence, and business analytics have gained in
capabilities and expanded in scope to add new functionality
but all have had the goal of deriving the most value out of
the data available.
8.Benefits of information
system
● Human resources :
 Information systems help human resource staff screen
job applicants, administer performance tests to
employees, monitor employee productivity, and generate
required government reports.
● Manufacturing :
 Information systems are used to process customer
orders, develop production schedules, control inventory
levels, and monitor product quality.
● Research and development :
 Information systems help R&D staff design products,
gather input from customers that leads to new ideas and
improvements, and enable the sharing of information
with a worldwide community of researchers.
