1. Activity 2: Content Notes
Business Information System:
Business information systems are sets of inter-related procedures using IT infrastructure in a business enterprise to
generate and disseminate desired information. Such systems are designed to support decision making by the
people associated with the enterprise in the process of attainment of its objectives.

The business information system gets data and other resources of IT infrastructure as input from the environment
and process them to satisfy the information needs of different entities associated with the business enterprise.

There are systems of control over the use of IT resources and the feedback system offers useful clues for increasing
the benefits of information systems to business. The business information systems are sub-systems of business
system and by themselves serve the function of feedback and control in business system.

It also has its Key Components to provide and follow the Information System Process to create:
• Decisions
• Transaction Processing
• Information and its flow
• Individual or functions involved

It is difficult to observe the decision process through we can see and review the results of a decision. Transactions
are usually more visible, though many current systems use computer programs, which are not easy to understand,
to process transactions. In principle, an observer can see information and its flows. Individuals can be observed too,
but it is not always easy to figure out the information processing functions they perform.

is full of action, problem-solving, and teamwork. It is the goal of information systems professionals to bridge the
knowledge gap between business users and technologists, and thus IS professionals must be fluent in both worlds.
Work in the field of information systems is exciting, fun, and fast-paced. There is always a new team to work with
and new technology to learn about, and projects move quickly leaving openings for new endeavors. In a recent
report published in The Wall Street Journal, information systems professionals were tied for the highest percentage
of college graduates that were satisfied with their career path

When preparing to become an IS professional, students focus on learning about the types of systems that exist,
what they offer to businesses, best practices for implementation, and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Students also focus on how to work with business users and discover what their system needs are and how they
can best be served by information systems.

Information systems professionals focus on solving problems in businesses through the use of information systems.
When students start their careers, they frequently work on teams that connect businesspersons with the appropriate
system solution for their situation. Usually the organizations they work for adopt a set of best practices to create
consistency across project teams. Through the use of these best practices, IS professionals determine what options
are available, consider the pros and cons of each, design a customized solution to match the specific business, and
develop a plan on how to best implement the information system, including rollout phases and training.

As mentioned, IS professionals typically work in teams. This is because the projects are usually very large and
have many interworking pieces. As a result, IS professionals specialize in a particular type of work and contribute
their expertise in this area. Specializations include system analysts, software developers, database
administrators, and project managers.

Information systems as a career is attractive

to many individuals because of the traits above. However,

it is also engaging because it is a career in which you get
to work on making people’s lives easier.
IS professionals focus on developing systems that
businesspersons will use to create efficiency and increase
their performance. IS professionals design systems that
help businesspersons make better decisions (decision
support systems) and lead organizations (executive
dashboards). Systems are also created to keep track of
materials (supply chain management systems) and
customers (customer relationship management systems).

And given the important role of information in modern organizations, IS professionals record, monitor, and analyze
data to learn how the business can improve (business intelligence systems).

IS professionals work to design these systems to be more usable, more efficient, and more informative .
