Information Systems in Perspective

A Computer-Based Information System (CBIS) consists of hardware, software, databases, telecommunications, people, and procedures. It is an information system where the computer plays a major role in keeping proper records of business transactions, as opposed to a manual system using physical ledgers. A CBIS connects various components through telecommunications and networks to collect, store, process, and distribute data to produce useful information.

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’s.
Among the support equipment’s
• Software: 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.
Programs are generally stored on some
• Data: Data are facts that
are used by program to
produce useful
information. Like
programs, data are
generally stored in
machine-readable from
• Procedures: 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 CBIS.
• People: Every Computer Based
Information System (CBIS) needs
people if it is to be useful. Often the
most over-looked element of the
CBIS is the people: probably the
components that most influence the
•Databases: A database is an
organized collection of facts and
information, typically consisting
of two or more related data files.
An organization’s database can
contain facts and information on

TELECOMMUNICATI
ONS, NETWORKS, AND
THE INTERNET
•Telecommunications is the electronic
transmission of signals for
communications, which enables
organizations to carry out their processes
and tasks through effective computer
networks. Telecommunications can take
place through wired, wireless, and
satellite transmissions.
•Networks connect computers and equipment in a
building, around the country, or around the world
to enable electronic communication. Wireless
transmission allows aircraft drones, such as
Boeing’s Scan Eagle, to fly using a remote control
system to monitor commercial buildings or enemy
positions.
•Internet is the world’s largest
computer network, consisting of
thousands of interconnected networks,
all freely exchanging information.
Research firms, colleges, universities,
high schools, hospitals, and businesses
are just a few examples of
organizations using the Internet.

•World Wide Web (WWW), or
the Web, is a network of links on
the Internet to documents
containing text, graphics, video,
and sound. Information about the
documents and access to them
are controlled and provided by
tens of thousands of special
computers called Web servers.
