People Resources People Resources End users-accountants, salesperson, engineers, clerks,
customers, or managers. IS Specialists-are people who actually develop and operate
information systems. They include systems analysts, programmers, testers,
computer operators, and other managerial, technical, and clerical IS personnel.

Hardware ResourcesHardware Resources
Machines as computers and other equipment along with all data media, objects on which data is recorded, from sheets of paper to magnetic disks.
Computer systems, which consist of central processing units containing microprocessors, and a variety of interconnected peripheral devices. Examples are microcomputer systems, midrange computer systems, and large mainframe computer systems.
Computer peripherals, which are devices such as a keyboard or electronic mouse for input of data and commands, a video screen or printer for output of information, and magnetic or optical disks for storage of data resources
9
Software ResourcesSoftware Resources
includes all sets of information processing instructions.
This generic concept of software includes not only the sets of operating instructions called programs, which direct and control computer hardware,
but also the sets of information processing instructions needed by people, called procedures
10
Software ResourcesSoftware Resources System software, such as an operating system
program, which controls and supports the operations of a computer system.
Application software, which are programs that direct processing for a particular use of computers by end users. Examples are a sales analysis program, a payroll program, and a word processing program.
Procedures, which are operating instructions for the people, who will use an information system. Examples are instructions for filling out a paper form or using a software package.
11
Data ResourcesData Resources
Data is raw material of information systems, database with criteria: Comprehensiveness means, that all the data about the subject are
actually present in the database. Non-redundancy means, that each individual piece of data exists
only once in the database. Appropriate structure means, that the data are stored in such a
way as to minimize the cost of expected processing and storage. The data resources of IS are typically organized into: Processed and organized data-Databases Knowledge in a variety of forms such as facts, rules, and case
examples about successful business practices.
12
Network ResourcesNetwork Resources
Telecommunications networks like the Internet, intranets, and extranets.
Telecommunications networks consist of computers, communications processors, and other devices interconnected by communications media and controlled by communications software.
Communications media Network support- people, hardware, software, and data resources
that directly support the operation and use of a communications network.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS ACTIVITIES
Input of Data Resources Processing of Data into Information Output of Information Products Storage of Data Resources Control of System Performance Information Quality
15
Input of Data Resources Data about business transactions ,captured and prepared for
processing data entry activities such as recording and editing. End users typically record data, about transactions on some type
of physical medium such as a paper form, or enter it directly into a computer system.
Variety of editing activities to ensure that they have recorded data correctly.
Once entered, data may be transferred onto a machine-readable medium such as magnetic disk or tape, until needed for processing.
16
Output of Information Products Information in various forms is transmitted to
end users and made available to them in the output activity.
Common information products include messages, reports, forms, and graphic images, which may be provided by video displays, audio responses, paper products, and multimedia.
17
Processing of Data into Information Data is typically subjected to processing
activities such as calculating, comparing, sorting, classifying, and summarizing.
These activities organize, analyze, and manipulate data, thus converting them into information for end users
Quality of data,updation.
18
Information Quality
Info outdated, inaccurate, or hard to understand would not be very meaningful, useful, or valuable to you or other end users.
People want information of high quality, that is, information products whose characteristics, attributes, or qualities help make it valuable to them.
19
Storage of Data Resources
Storage is a basic system component of information systems.
Storage is the information system activity in which data and information are retained in an organized manner for later use.
20
Control of System Performance
An information system should produce feedback about its input, processing, output, and storage activities.
This feedback must be monitored and evaluated to determine if the system is meeting established performance standards.
Then appropriate system activities must be adjusted so that proper information products are produced for end users.
21
TYPES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS
22
Types of IS
For most businesses, there are a variety of requirements for information.
Senior managers need information to help with their business planning.
Middle management need more detailed information to help them monitor and control business activities.
Employees with operational roles need information to help them carry out their duties.
23
OSS
It produce a variety of information products for internal and external use in an organization.
The role of a business firm's operations support systems is to efficiently process business transactions, control industrial processes, support enterprise communications and collaboration, and update corporate databases.
Operation support systems again can be categorized as : Transaction processing systems Process control systems Enterprise collaboration systems
24
OSS Types
25
MSS
When information systems focus on providing information and support for effective decision-making by managers, they are called management support systems.
Providing information and support for decision-making by all types of managers (from top executives to middle managers to project supervisors) is a complex task.
Conceptually, several major types of information systems support a variety of managerial end user responsibilities : Management information systems, Decision support systems, and Executive information systems.
