USES OF MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM:

MIS is software or hardware used to support critical business applications. It’s various uses are
given below:

• Managing Business Data


Business owners and managers need to be informed about the overall operation of a
company and key areas of responsibility. If the president calls and wants to know how
much sales have increased in each of the last four years, the sales manager must
provide the information. Management information systems give you access to key
data about your department and about the company in general. If the manager needs
reference information for a bid or for regulatory purposes, management information
systems are a good source.

• Informing business decisions:


Decisions are only as valid as the information on which they are based. Management
information systems improve your decision-making, because they provide
information that is accurate, timely, relevant and complete. Self-checking and cross-
checking features in management information systems reduce errors, and IT
professionals design the systems to offer a complete picture of a situation or highlight
that specific information is missing. Companies that use management information
systems ensure that all managers work from the same set of data and make their
decisions based on identical information.

• Analyzing Business Trends:


A key part of management's responsibilities is preparing forecasts for strategic
planning and budgets. Management information systems contain past data for
fundamental company functions such as sales, production and customer service. They
include information on revenue, expenses and investments, broken down into separate
components. You can search for trends by asking the systems to project past
performance patterns into the future. Management information systems have
sophisticated mathematical analysis tools that can evaluate relationships and calculate
probable future trends. You can base accurate forecasts on such information.

• Examining Strategy and Scenarios:


Sometimes, the information and trends display an evolving situation that the company
wants to change. Management information systems can evaluate different
possibilities and all you to examine scenarios. What-if scenarios are a powerful tool
that help you decide on the best strategy for the company. Management information
systems calculate what happens based on their collection of data on how the company
operations performed in the past. You can see what happens if the promotional
budgets increase or staff levels are reduced. With this knowledge, you can develop
the optimal strategy for the company.
• Tracking sales:
MIS is used to track sales and daily operations of the business. It enables the
identification of emerging market segments and makes compact information available
to both management and employees.
• Budgeting for upper management:
MIS is used by business management to monitor and assess and enterprise health,
present position, financial status to make smart business decisions.

• Feedback:
The main purpose of the MIS is to give managers feedback about their own
performance; top management can monitor the company as a whole. Information
displayed by the MIS typically shows "actual" data over against "planned" results and
results from a year before; thus it measures progress against goals.
