INFORMATION SYSTEMS
 DECISION-SUPPORT
SYSTEMS
MIS concentrates on structured
problems.
DSS support semi-structured
and unstructured problem
analysis.
 Traditionally DSS-MODEL
DRIVEN
Some type of models are used to
perform “what if “ and other kind of
analysis.
The analysis based on strong theory
or model or combination of both with
good user interface
Example: voyage-estimating DSS
p&g’s systems for supply and
restructuring.
 Contemporary DSS-DATA
DRIVEN
online analytical processing(OLAP)
and data mining are used to analyse
large pools of data.
DSS support decision-making by
enabling users to extract useful
information that was previously
buried in large quantities of data.
Example: business intelligence
applications.
 COMPONENTS OF DSS

Database for data

small database contains a subset of
corporate data & combined with
external data.
large database contains massive

software tools.
 advantages are:
graphic displays
interactivity
easy of use.
 DATABASE SOFTWARE
SYSTEM
It contains the software tools that
are used for data analysis.
it contains
• OLAP tools
• data mining tools
• collection of mathematical and
analytical model
 MODEL

that illustrates components or
relationships.
types:
mathematical model
physical model
statistical model
optimization model

unstructured problems by set of
decision makers.
