This document provides an overview of information systems and information technology presented by Group 1. It begins with an agenda and definitions of key terms like information systems, information technology, and systems in general. Real-world examples of different types of information systems are then discussed, like transaction processing systems and management information systems. Components of an information system are outlined as people, hardware, software, data, and networks. Specific examples like banking, retail, and telecom systems are examined in more detail. The presentation concludes by discussing some ethical and societal issues related to information technology.

IS- Components
Vital component of successful businesses
Helps businesses expand and compete
Businesses use IS and IT
To improve efficiency and effectiveness of business processes
For managerial decision making

That stores, retrieves, transforms, and disseminates information in an organization What is an Information System?
Objective
IS Control, Management, Planning, Informative decisions

External sources - interest rates, population trends, cost of new housing construction / raw material pricing.
Executive Information Systems (ESS) Information in an EIS are presented in charts and tables that show trends, ratios and other managerial statistics and is stored in data warehouses
Real World Examples Real World Examples Expert Systems (ES)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) the application of human intelligence to computers. (Speech recognition and creative responses) Real World Examples Office Information Systems (OIS) : The registration process of a school.
Transaction Processing Systems (TPS) Example: Deposits, payments, orders or reservations
Management Information Systems (MIS) generates accurate, timely and organized information so that managers can make decisions, solve problems, supervise activities and track progress. Example : Sales forecasting Real World Examples Components of an Information System People , culture and structure Traditionally, people resisted technology Organization needs to create awareness to ensure effective use of technology. New technology leads to structural changes in the organization. Ensuring the right attitudes towards technology. Organizations also needs to assess the potential political discomfort

Real World Examples Consumer Privacy Organizations collect (and sometimes sell) huge amounts of data on individuals.
Employee Privacy IT supports remote monitoring of employees, violating privacy and creating stress
Freedom of Speech IT increases opportunities for pornography, hate speech, intellectual property crime, an d other intrusions; prevention may abridge free speech.
IT Professionalism No mandatory or enforced code of ethics for IT professionals--unlike other professions.
