Information system
• An information system (IS) is an arrangement of people, data, process,
and information technology that interact to collect, process, store and
provide us output the information needed to support an organization.
Basic Implications
• A System must be designed to achieved a predetermined
objective.
• Interrelationships & Interdependence must exist among the
components.
• The Objectives of the organization as whole have a higher
priority than the objectives of its subsystems
Examples of System
• Transportation System
• Telephone System
• Accounting System
• Production System
• Computer System
• Business System
• Hotel Management System
• Banking System
Element / Component of System
• Inputs
• Process
• Output
• Control
• Feedback
• Environment
Characteristics Of System
• Organization
• Interaction
• Interdependence
• Integration
• Central Objective
1. Organization:
It implies structure and order. It is the arrangement of components that helps to
achieve objectives.
2. Interaction:
It refers to the manner in which each component functions with other components
of the system.
3. Interdependence:
It means that parts of the organization or computer system depend on one another.
They are coordinated and linked together according to a plan. One subsystem
depends on the output of another subsystem for proper functioning.
4. Integration:
It refers to the holism of systems. It is concerned with how a system is tied together.
5. Central Objective:
A system should have a central objective. Objectives may be real or stated.
Although a stated objective may be the real objective, it is not uncommon for an
organization to state one objective and operate to achieve another. The important
point is that users must know the central objective of a computer application early
in the analysis for a successful design and conversion.
Important Terms Systems
• Purpose
Reason for its existence and the reference point for measuring its success.
• Boundary
what is inside the system and what is outside.
• Environment
everything pertinent to the System that is outside of its boundaries.
• Inputs
physical objects and information that cross the boundary to enter it from its environment.
• Outputs
physical objects and information that go from the system into its environment.
