MIS 107(Management information system)
Assignment -01
A management information system (MIS) is an information system used for
decision-making, and for the coordination, control, analysis, and visualization of
information in an organization. The study of the management information systems
involves people, processes and technology in an organizational context.
The terms management information system (MIS), Information management
system (IMS), information system (IS), enterprise resource planning (ERP),
computer science, electrical computer engineering, and information technology
management (IT) are often confused. MIS is a hierarchical subset of information
systems. MIS are more organization-focused narrowing in on leveraging
information technology to increase business value.
THE CHALLENGES AND PROBLEMS OF MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION SYSTEMS:
When all of the existing impediments are broken down into humanistic,
organizational, and environmental elements, the following are the key downsides
and causes for failure when implementing MIS in public organizations:
Humanistic aspects:
It defines the capabilities of the firm today and in the near term. The services a
firm is capable of providing to its customers, suppliers, and employees are a direct
function of its IT infrastructure. Ideally, this infrastructure should support the
firm's business and information systems strategy.
IT infrastructure is the system of hardware, software, facilities and service
components that support the delivery of business systems and IT-enabled
processes.
Business operations are made easier by IT infrastructure, both physically and
through processes. In IT, factors that support data usage and management through
physical hardware, business software, or other IT solutions are referred to as IT.
That is why IT infrastructure is critical to a company's success.
IT infrastructure can be housed in a cloud computing system or on-site at a
company's location. Hardware, software, networking components, an operating
system (OS), and data storage are examples of these components, which are all
used to supply IT services and solutions.
5 Advantages of a Well-Designed IT Infrastructure
Make the most of your earnings. Because it eliminates silos and allows your
technology to perform more efficiently, an optimized IT infrastructure may help
you maximize your business's income.
1. Make it easier to scale.
2. Increase your output.
3. Make your network stronger.
4. Minimize downtime.
Cloud computing is now essential for every company hoping to stay on top of
digital trends and conventions. And, as you may be aware, staying away from
digital media may be difficult.
Cloud Computing Allows the Merger of Goods, Services and Data. Additionally,
the cloud allows companies to create intriguing hybrids between data and goods to
create innovative new products that serve consumers and make life easier.
Cloud computing technology shifts from a traditional Capital Expenditure
(CapEx) model with onsite server equipment to an Operational Expenditure
(OpEx) model with service level agreements employing a third-party cloud service
provider.
Cloud computing has become a highly essential approach in IT these days, and it is
a technology that is used to store and manage data and files on a remote server,
which can then be accessed via the internet. It's primarily utilized for security
reasons. It has advanced features that are related to data security and ensure that
the data is safe. There are numerous reasons to employ it. Here are a few examples:
1. Development and testing
2. Recovering from a disaster
3. Security \Flexibility
4. Analysis of large amounts of data
5. The benefit of the cloud
6. Scalability
Cloud computing offers a variety of IT services such as networking, software, and
servers, among others, and firms that supply all of these services are known as
cloud computing service providers. Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services
are the two largest cloud computing service providers.
The most obvious way cloud computing fuels innovation is through what is called
the 80-20 Rule: that up to 80% of a company’s IT time and cost can be dedicated
to the maintenance of legacy systems, leaving only 20% for the implementation of
new innovations that help drive business growth. By significantly changing these
percentages, cloud computing opens the door to business-driving innovations.
When systems are moved to the cloud, their capacity to integrate with other
systems increases significantly. As a result, a wide range of various systems,
devices, and applications can all work together seamlessly in the cloud with the
existing system. This opens the door to a slew of new ideas, including improved
communication, business intelligence, and customer interaction, to name a few.
IT Security is another area where the cloud has resulted in significant innovation.
The fundamental reason for this is that when it comes to monitoring, managing,
and assessing vulnerability, it is more effective and accurate to do it from the
outside rather than from within.
Moreover, By allowing IT to reimagine how services are offered to the enterprise,
cloud computing is enabling IT to break free from this negative cycle. The overall
effect for the company is the flexibility to function in fundamentally different
ways, which can only be described as more flexible and responsive to business
needs.
