Nostalgia 6: Information System Development

Monday - Our second exam was announced and it is consists 4 chapters - without me knowing that it at least consist of 50 pages per chapter, for I don't have a book yet...

Now, back with the lesson thingy...

Information System 6 Parts
  • Software
  • Hardware
  • Data
  • Procedure
  • People
  • Network
What is the efffect of integrating Technology in an Organization
  • How Things are done
  • What needs to be done
  • Who does things
  • Where it can be done
Sir Oli let us watched some film so that we can actually know what an information system does. Really, my answer was out of the question...

So the meaning of IS after many attempts is...

"It is a more accurate Information, anywhere, anytime, when needed by people works for an organization"

Tuesday - The day I was told about the terrible news, the day I crammed!!! (I photocopied the said chapter and it cost me P60 or something...The bad part was, My class ended at 5:30PM and I got home at 9 because of the "inevitable" extinction of bus - actually, there were buses but they are all sardines in there...And I just got a bus after walking to Quirino Avenue.

Wednesday - The day of the cursed exam...

After having our terrible shock of knowing our quiz score - no one actually passed the designated score...We continued with our lesson. The first lesson I learned is to never crammed and never underestimate INTRICT!!!

For the lesson...

Why is an Information System needed to be developed and implemented in an organization?
  • Internal improvement in the conduct of operations
  • Internal correction of problems hampering the operations
  • Exernal mandate
  • Strategically determined
Internal Improvement in the conduct of operations
  • The sales is starting to peak and customers are increasing, the company needs to respond quickly
Internal Correction of problems hampering the operations
  • Too much inventory is lost monthly. Payments are always not tallying with record sales
External Mandate
  • Corporate Buyers require electronically printed forms and a way to track orders online
Strategically determined
  • The executive managers wanted to reach as many customers outside of the normal area coverage

Mainly, as the meaning of IS suggest it helps a certain organization with different things. Like Sir Oli's example, sometimes certain organizations doesn't need some of this; but it will greatly help in advertising or making your organization or company more interesting for the customers - just like the id thingy... :D End of blog...

Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.
