Types of Information Systems:
• C. Transaction Processing Systems - Transaction is a business event where data are generated and modified and saved in an information system.
- Electronically, transaction systems are most used in business because of their major function to record data collected at point of sale, which are generally done with the use of cash registers , automated teller machines and the like.

Types of Information Systems:
• F. Expert Systems -According to Steven Alter in his book , ”Information Systems”, a management perspective, execution systems are designed to support people doing value added work that customers care about like the practice of medicine , and manufacturing and engineering. - he discussed the further that expert systems are one of the type of execution systems that evolved as offshoot of artificial intelligence research.

The communication process
![Page 14: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The communication process
• - Several fundamentals elements make up the communication process.
• - the information source sends a message using the transmitter which is received then by the destination through a receiver.
• - the communication mode serves as a model for any flow of data, information or system.
![Page 15: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Data , Information, and Systems
• - Data in computing (or data processing) are represented in a structure, often tabular (represented by rows and columns), a tree (a set of nodes with parent-children relationship) or a graph structure (a set of interconnected nodes). Data are typically the results of measurements and can be visualised using graphs or images. Data as an abstract concept can be viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and then knowledge are derived. Raw data, i.e., unprocessed data, refers to a collection of numbers, characters and is a relative term;
![Page 16: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Continuation…
• - The word data is the plural of datum, neuter past participle of the Latin dare, "to give", hence "something given". In discussions of problems in geometry, mathematics, engineering, and so on, the terms givens and data are used interchangeably. Such usage is the origin of data as a concept in computer science or data processing: data are numbers, words, images, etc., accepted as they stand.

Information
• - Information, in its most restricted technical sense, is a sequence of symbols that can be interpreted as a message. Information can be recorded as signs, or transmitted as signals. Information is any kind of event that affects the state of a dynamic system. Conceptually, information is the message (utterance or expression) being conveyed. The meaning of this concept varies in different contexts.[1] Moreover, the concept of information is closely related to notions of constraint, communication, control, data, form, instruction, knowledge, meaning, understanding, mental stimuli, pattern, perception, representation, and entropy.

Information• - Information should be,
• Accurate * Complete
• Verifiable * Cost Effective
• Up – to – date
• Organized
• Relevant

System• -A system is a set of interacting or
interdependent components forming an integrated whole[citation needed] or a set of elements (often called'components' ) and relationships which are different from relationships of the set or its elements to other elements or sets.[citation needed]
![Page 20: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Continuation..• -Fields that study the general properties
of systems include systems theory, cybernetics, dynamical systems, thermodynamics, and complex systems. They investigate the abstract properties of systems' matter and organization, looking for concepts and principles that are independent of domain, substance, type, or temporal scale
![Page 21: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Information System• - An information system (IS) - is any
combination of information technology and people's activities that support operations, management and decision making. In a very broad sense, the term information system is frequently used to refer to the interaction between people, processes, data and technology.
![Page 22: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Continuation …• - In this sense, the term is used to refer
not only to the information and communication technology (ICT) that an organization uses, but also to the way in which people interact with this technology in support of business processes.

Information System Development Cycle
• - it consist of the following
A. Analysis
B. Systems Design / Development
C. Implementation
D. Maintenance and Support
![Page 24: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Analysis
![Page 25: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Analysis• B. Documentation• It gives information as to what data people use, how
it serves the organization and how information is manipulated.
C. Observationto examine closely how the system operates.
D. Questionnaire these are used to gather information when an interview is impractical like in dispersed areas of operations.
![Page 26: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Analysis• E. Benchmarking• Benchmarking is the process of comparing one's
business processes and performance metrics to industry bests or best practices from other industries. Dimensions typically measured are quality, time and cost. In the process of benchmarking, management identifies the best firms in their industry, or in another industry where similar processes exist, and compare the results and processes of those studied (the "targets") to one's own results and processes. In this way, they learn how well the targets perform and, more importantly, the business processes that explain why these firms are successful.
![Page 27: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
FeasibilityFeasibility studies aim to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and weaknesses of an existing business or proposed venture, opportunities and threats as presented by the environment, the resources required to carry through, and ultimately the prospects for success.[1][2] In its simplest terms, the two criteria to judge feasibility are cost required and value to be attained
![Page 28: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Feasibility - technical Feasibility
A large part of determining resources has to do with assessing technical feasibility. It considers the technical requirements of the proposed project. The technical requirements are then compared to the technical capability of the organization. The systems project is considered technically feasible if the internal technical capability is sufficient to support the project requirements.
![Page 29: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Feasibility - Economic feasibility
Economic analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating the effectiveness of a new system. More commonly known as cost/benefit analysis, the procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected from a candidate system and compare them with costs. If benefits outweigh costs, then the decision is made to design and implement the system. The analysis must accurately weigh the cost versus benefits before taking an action.
![Page 30: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Requirements - requirements composed of * System Requirements
- system requirements and are often used as a guideline as opposed to an absolute rule. Most software defines two sets of system requirements: minimum and recommended. With increasing demand for higher processing power and resources in newer versions of software, system requirements tend to increase over time. Industry analysts suggest that this trend plays a bigger part in driving upgrades to existing computer systems than technological advancements.
![Page 31: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
B. Systems Design / Development - the primary purpose of designing the system is to ascertain the means to meet the system requirements identified in the list of requirements.
- phase consist of 4 steps:1. logical design2. physical design3. construction4. testing of the system.
![Page 32: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Logical Design - in Logical design , the user requirements in the analysis phase are converted into detailed functions of the system.
1. Input files. - the files that will be used to capture the
input data.
2. Procedures- the logical algorithms used to process the
input.
![Page 33: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Continuation .. 3. Output Files - the files that will be used to capture information resulting from the processing data, and the files that will record the information.
4. User dialog- the users will interact with the system: windows,
menus, icons, and/or provisions.
5. Interfaces - how the system will interact with other systems
![Page 34: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Implementation
Implementation Phase of Information Systems Development
![Page 35: Information System Concepts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555e7b38d8b42abd468b4703/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Maintenance and Support - the Information Systems Development life cycle does not end with the implementation of the systems. Maintenance is also part if the responsibility of the IS professionals.
- Error correction is also part of support to users for it calls for post implementation debugging or correcting “bugs” in programs which may cause problems to users.
