MIS is to extract data from varied sources and derive insights that drive business growth.
Following are various activities which should cover in school of management studies new management information
system (MIS) :-
1. Every student have their user id on the website of the sms department. That help them to easily connect with
the department and that also useful for CC students.
2. There should be proper online fees structure, which help students to pay each type of fees easily like :-
admission fees , exam fees , hostel fees or any event participation fees.
3. Students attendance is also upload online which student can see from their account. Students can also able
to apply leave online .
4. Faculty management is there in which teachers time schedule is provided and if any teacher is on leave then
students get notification from department.
Specification
Most MIS are modular and are built around a core of traditional accounting modules such as sales
ledger, purchases ledger, nominal (general) ledger etc. Businesses then need to consider the extra
modules needed for their specific businesses such as Job Costing, Routing and Capacity Planning,
HR Systems, Reporting etc. Payroll is normally a separate module.
The solution is to start with very detailed checklists of requirements and add to those lists the
specific features you need. When all the features have been listed in detail you issue Invitations To
Tender (ITTs) based on your specific requirements. The completion of detailed system
specifications is time-consuming and is best left to someone with detailed knowledge of the
features that the MIS should contain.
Selection
When you have arrived at a shortlist of potential suppliers you should ask for references. It is best
to visit the reference sites alone or talk to the references face-to-face, without the suppliers in
attendance. The next step is to do detailed testing. Sit down at the computer with the supplier’s
staff and work through the specification, so that they can show you the key features you need
actually working in their systems.
Acquisition
The chosen supplier will probably have a standard purchase order or contract. Read it carefully
and modify it to suit your needs.
If your current processes are non-standard or you envisage implementing new processes, the costs
of modifications can increase alarmingly. Agree a discounted per day rate before you buy the
system. Better still, agree an arrangement with the supplier whereby you specify new features and
help the supplier test and debug them after development, at little or no financial cost to you.
(Though there is a hidden cost in management time.)
Implementation
Finally remember the human aspects. Many people dislike change and their reactions to it range
from fear to outright sabotage. You need to “Manage the Change”. You need to keep staff
informed of the changes to come and explain the benefits to them of the changes. You need to win
their support. If redundancies are likely to follow the implementation this must be addressed
openly and fairly at an early date.
