An Introduction to Information
Systems
Information System:

An information system is a set of interrelated


components that collect, manipulate, store
data and disseminate information and provide
a feedback mechanism to monitor
performance.
What is an Information System?

An organized combination of
people, hardware, software,
communications networks, and
data resources that collects data,
transforms it, and disseminates
information.
Data Vs. Information
Data: Raw unorganized facts
Information:
A collection of facts organized in such
a way that they have additional value
beyond the value of the facts themselves.

Defining and organizing relationships


among data creates information.
Information Concepts
Process:
A set of logically related tasks
performed to achieve a defined outcome.

Knowledge:
An awareness and understanding of a
set of information and ways that
information can be made useful to
support a specific task or reach a
decision
The Value of Information

The value of Information


is directly linked to how
it helps decision makers
achieve their organization’s
goals.
System

A system is a set of elements or


components that interact to
accomplish goals.
