What is an Information System?• An organized combination of…
– People– Hardware and software– Communication networks– Data resources– Policies and procedures
• This system…– Stores, retrieves, transforms, and disseminates
information in an organization
• An organizational solution, based on information technology, to challenges posed by the environment.

Types of Information Systems
• Operations Support Systems– Efficiently support day-to-day operations
• Management Support Systems– Provide information and support for effective
decision making by managers
• Strategic Information Systems– Help get a strategic advantage over customer

Scalability
• Scalability is the ability of a system to handle a growing amount of work in a capable manner or its ability to be enlarged to accommodate that growth.
• A system is said to scale if it is suitably efficient when applied to large input data set. If the system fails when a quantity increases, it does not scale.
• Solutions:– Hardware– Software

Customer Relationship Management, CRM• Front office operations: Call Center
• Direct interaction with customers, e.g. phone calls, e-mail, online services etc.
• Sales Force Automation• tracks all contact that has been made with a given
customer, the purpose of the contact, and any follow up that might be required.
• Sales Intelligence• Cross-selling: selling an additional product or service to an
existing customer
• Up-selling: induces the customer to purchase more expensive items, upgrades, or other add-ons.
• Switch-selling: customers are attracted by a special offer on some goods but the salesman's real aim is to sell other more expensive goods instead

Using Decision Support Systems• What-IF Analysis:Observing how changes to
selected variables affect other variables.• Sensitivity Analysis: Observing how
repeated changes to a single variable affect other variables.
• Goal-Seeking Analysis:Set a target value for a variable, and then repeatedly changes other variables until the target is achieved.– Example: Benefit.Xls
• Optimization Analysis• Simulation: IBM Innov8 2.0
