Introduction To Information Systems

Computer based information systems are organized integrations of hardware, software, and human elements designed to produce timely, accurate, and useful information for decision making. Information systems are comprised of five main components: hardware, software, data, networks, and procedures. When these components are combined effectively using information technology services, organizations can gain competitive advantages over their rivals.

Introduction to

Information
Systems
DEWI SARTIKA, SST.,MM
Computer Based Information System is a
data processing system into a high-
quality information and can be used as
tools that support decision-making,
coordination and control as well as
Computer visualization and analysis.
Or another definition is an organized
Based
integration of hardware and software
Information technologies and human elements
designed to produce timely, integrated,
System accurate and useful information for
decision making purposes.
Information systems are made up of
different components that work together
to provide value to an organization.

HARDWARE

The term hardware refers to machinery. This category includes the


computer itself, which is often referred to as the central processing unit
(CPU), and all of its support equipment. Among the support equipment are
input and output devices, storage devices and communications devices.
these are the devices like the monitor, processor, printer and keyboard, all of
which work together to accept, process, show data and information.
SOFTWARE

Software is the programs that allow the hardware to process the data. The
term software refers to computer programs and the manuals (if any) that
support them. Computer programs are machine-readable instructions that
direct the circuitry within the hardware parts of the Computer Based
Information System (CBIS) to function in ways that produce useful
information from data. Examples of operating systems include Microsoft
Windows on a personal computer and Google’s Android on a mobile phone.
Examples of application software are Microsoft Excel, etc
DATA

Are the gathering of associated files or tables containing related data. You
can think of data as a collection of facts. Databases are facts that are used
by program to produce useful information. Like programs, data are
generally stored in machine- readable form on disk or tape until the
computer needs them. It may be consist of numbers, characters, symbols or
picture.
NETWORKS
The networking revolution has completely changed how the computer is used. Today, no
one would imagine using a computer that was not connected to one or more networks.
The development of the Internet and World Wide Web, combined with wireless access,
has made information available at our fingertips.
As networking technology has matured, the use of Internet technologies has become a
standard for every type of organization. The use of intranets and extranets has allowed
organizations to deploy functionality to employees and business partners alike,
increasing efficiencies and improving communications. Cloud computing has truly
made information available everywhere and has serious implications for the role of the IT
department
PROCEDURES
Are the commands for combining the components above to process information and
produce the preferred output. Procedures are the policies that govern the operation of a
computer system. “Procedures are to people what software is to hardware” is a common
analogy that is used to illustrate the role of procedures in a Computer Based Information
System (CBIS).
Competitive advantage is defined as the
strategic advantage one business entity has
Competitive over its rival entities within its competitive
industry. Every businessperson should
Advantage of understand what an information system is
Information and how it can be used to bring a
competitive advantage.
System Information technology has become just a
commodity. Instead of viewing technology
as an investment that will make a company
stand out, It should be managed to reduce
costs, ensure that it is always running, and
be as risk-free as possible.
Competitive advantage occurs when an
organization acquires or develops an
Competitive attribute or combination of attributes that
allows it to outperform its competitors. These
Advantage of attributes can include access to natural
Information resources, such as inexpensive power or
access to highly trained and skilled
System personnel human resources. New
technologies, such as robotics and
information technology, are either to be
included as a part of the product or to assist
making it.
Information technology has become such a
prominent part of the modern business
Competitive world that it can also contribute to
competitive advantage by outperforming
Advantage of competitors with regard to Internet
Information presence. By using the Internet as the
middle man, the purveyor of information to
System the final consumer, businesses can gain a
competitive advantage through creation of
an effective website, which in the past
required extensive effort finding the right
middle man and cultivating the relationship.
