    A business Information System is a collectionof components that interact to fulfill somebusiness information processing need. they areused to satisfy information needs in the processof decision making in business.T he basic components of IS are:

    HardwareSoftwareData, procedure and people.

    Shared hardware

    Shared softwareA ccess to dataShared systems such as email.

    Types of information s ystem

    Organizations and individuals use different t ypes of s ystems for different purposes.

    Here are some of the main t ypes of information s ystems and their uses.

    Components of information s ystem: people, equipment, procedures, data.

    Transaction Processing Systems (TPS) record dail y routine transactions such assales orders from customers, or bank deposits and withdrawals . TPS are vital for the

    organization, as the y gather all the input necessar y for other t ypes of s ystems. Thinkabout how one could generate a monthl y sales report for middle management orcritical marketing information to senior managers without TPS. TPS provide the basicinput to the compan y's database . A failure in the TPS often means disaster for theorganization. Imagine what happens when the reservation s ystem at Turkish Airlinesfails: all operations stop, no transactions can be carried out until the s ystem is upagain. Long queues form in front of A TMs and tellers when a bank 's TPS crashes.

    A TPS is a basic business s ystem.It serves the most elementar y da y-to -da y activities of an organization;

    supports the operational level of the business.supplies data for higher -level management decisions.is often critical to survival of the organization .

    M anagement information system ( MI S) :converts TPS data into information for monitoring performance and managing anorganization. Transactions recorded in a TPS are anal yzed and reported b y an MIS.The y have large quantities of input data and the y produce summar y reports asoutput. Used b y middle managers. An example is an annual budgeting s ystem.

    An MIS provides managers with information and support for effectivedecision making, and provides feedback on dail y operations.Output, or reports, are usuall y generated through accumulation of transaction processing data Each MIS is an integrated collection of subs ystems, which are t ypically organized along functional lines within anorganization.

    Outputs of a Management Information S ystem

    Scheduled reportsProduced periodicall y, or on a schedule (dail y, weekl y, monthl y)

    Key-indicator report Summarizes the previous da y s critical activitiesTypically available at the beginning of each da y

    Demand report Gives certain information at a manager s request

    Characteristics of MIS

    Provides reports with fixed and standard formatsHard-cop y and soft -cop y reports

    Uses internal data stored in the computer s ystemEnd users can develop custom reportsRequires formal requests from users

    Ex ecutive Support Systems ( E SS) or Executive Information S ystemsESS provide a generalized computing and communication environment to seniormanagers to support strategic decisions. The y draw data from the MIS and allowcommunication with external sources of information. But unlike DSS, the y are not designed to use for specific problem solving. ESS are designed to facilitate seniormanagers ' access to information quickl y and effectivel y.
