2 Agenda 1.Define and understand the term Information Systems (IS) 2.Explain the technology, people, and organizational components of information systems 3. Describe the types of jobs and career opportunities in information systems and related fields

3 Agenda (Cont’d) 4. Describe the various types of information systems 5.Describe the dual nature of information systems in the success and future of modern organizations 6.Understand and plan for the future of managing IS

4 What are Information Systems? - A combination of technical components - Built and used by people to collect, create, and distribute useful data - Used typically in organizational settings but are evolving for personal use

5 Information Systems Components: Data Information Systems Information Systems Hardware Telecommunications People Data Software The raw inputs for entry into information systems Organized, processed and stored by an IS to support user information needs Provides basis for qualitative/quantitative analysis

6 Information Systems Components: Hardware Information Systems Information Systems Hardware Telecommunications People Data Software The physical components of information systems Hardware components include processors, input and output devices, and storage devices (Pentium 4) Typical configurations based on application include micro, mid-range, mainframe, and super computers

7 Information Systems Components: Software Information Systems Information Systems Hardware Telecommunications People Data Software The instructions that operate the information system System software controls the hardware (WindowsXP) Application software allows user tasks to perform specific tasks to increased productivity (MS Word)

8 Information Systems Components: Telecommunications Information Systems Information Systems Hardware Telecommunications People Data Software The communication mechanism of information systems Allows two or more computers to communicate (Internet) Utilizes standard protocols for IS communication

9 People: Levels of the Organization Management Information Systems Executive Information Systems Decision Support Systems (both levels) Transaction Processing Systems Functional Area Information Systems (Across all levels within a function) Expert Systems

10 Information System Is A System

11 Information Society Evolution: Periods of Change Agricultural Industrial (Prior to 1890’s) (1890’s to 1960’s) Informational (1960’s to Present)

16 The New Economy – Taking Photo ’ s 1 st Generation Digital Photography –Old economy except 6 and 7 were replaced by using a scanner and ing 2 nd Generation Digital Photography –Use a Digital Camera, no film, no processing. 3 rd Generation Digital Photography –Your Digital Camera is now your mobile phone, in your binoculars or a palmtop computer.

17 Forms of Technology Technology – any mechanical and/or electrical means to supplement, extend, or replace human manual operations Examples: building heating/cooling systems, car brakes, etc. Information Technology – any machine technology that is controlled by or uses information for operation Example: a programmable industrial robot receiving instructions from a computer-based database Computer- based Information Systems – any computer- based technology that provides information for use by persons or machines to make decisions or control processes Example: Software that controls CD burning hardware

18 Information Systems: Turn Data into Information DataInformation Raw material Unformatted information Generally has no context Examples Processed material Formatted information Data given context Individual time cards for factory workers entered into the payroll system Department Labor Report, Project Status Report, Employee Payroll Checks

19 Computer Based Information System Hardware Software Data Network Procedures People Hardware Software People Data Application More than hardware and software

20 Typical Careers in Information Systems Careers in information systems require high technical competence and generally pay well
