A method used by companies to create and maintain systems that perform basic business functions.

The main goal is to improve employee efficiency by applying software solutions to key business tasks.

A structured approach must be used to ensure success when creating and maintaining systems.

A person who analyzes organizational needs and designs systems to meet those needs.

They understand the organization's objectives, structure, and processes.

They know how to use technology to solve business problems and improve performance.

They help system users and managers clearly define what they need from a new or improved system.

They must be analytical, understand organizations, be good problem solvers, and have system thinking skills.

They must understand the potential and limitations of technology and how it can be used effectively.

They must possess managerial skills, including project management, resource planning, risk assessment, and change management.

Information systems used by companies and organizations for internal communication, managing customers and suppliers, performing operations, and marketing campaigns.

A type of information system designed to handle, record, and manage routine, repetitive, and structured business transactions.

A TPS automates the handling of data about business activities, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in core operations.

Point-of-sale systems (retail), ATMs and online banking (banking), reservation systems (airlines), and production tracking systems (manufacturing) are examples of TPS.

A Management Information System (MIS) gathers, processes, and stores data to provide insights and reports for effective decision-making and management.

An MIS converts raw data from TPS into meaningful insights, enabling managers to understand the bigger picture of the business.

An MIS integrates people, technology, and processes to achieve its objectives of providing effective information to managers.

MIS helps managers understand business performance, identify trends, and make strategic decisions based on data analysis.

Computer systems designed to mimic the decision-making abilities of human experts in a specific domain.

A system that uses knowledge representation, inference engines, and a knowledge base to provide expert-level advice or solutions.

Medical diagnostic systems like MYCIN analyze symptoms and suggest treatments based on medical expertise.

Computer-aided design (CAD) systems utilize expert systems to design machines and structures efficiently.

Chatbots and help desks leverage expert systems to troubleshoot and solve customer issues.

The MIS function that converts raw data into meaningful insights by organizing and analyzing it.

A component of MIS that stores data securely and allows for easy access and retrieval.

A specialized type of information system that assists with complex decision-making.

It helps managers to make informed decisions by analyzing data, identifying trends, and suggesting potential actions.

A type of MIS that tracks and analyzes sales data to provide insights and support sales strategies.

A system that oversees inventory levels, predicts demand, and manages stock replenishment.

A system that generates financial reports like income statements, balance sheets, and expense reports.

A DSS can evaluate different choices by simulating hypothetical outcomes, helping you explore 'what if' scenarios before making a final decision.

A DSS can visually present data and results using charts, graphs, and dashboards, making it easier to interpret and understand complex information.

An Expert System (ES) is a type of AI system that tries to mimic how a human expert solves problems in a specific field.

Expert Systems utilize knowledge bases containing facts and rules, along with reasoning algorithms, to provide advice, make decisions, or solve problems that usually require human expertise.

Expert Systems are designed to replicate the decision-making process of a human expert in a specific domain.

Expert Systems can be used for problem-solving, decision-making, diagnosis (like medical or technical issues), and in some advanced cases, learning and adaptation based on new data.

While expert systems can be very useful for solving complex problems, they can't completely replicate the creativity, flexibility, and general intelligence of a human expert.
