Abstract

Information Systems have tremendously transformed the business world. The rapid technological evolvement has played a fundamental role in this through the invention of various software which have made numerous operations especially processing simplest and accurate. Companies have exploited the capacities of the information systems and ended gaining maximum profits. The importance of IS emanates from the data processed for the company to produce information utilized to manage their various operations. There are ways of increasing the effectiveness of the IS like adding extra data or using the available in a different way. Information Systems can be used for various purposes in an organization such as communication, making decisions, keeping records, and operations management. Information Systems solutions can be used in communication to gather and distribute the information. This ensures efficient flow of information. It is also used to support decisions making which ensures the outcomes are better and all the prerequisite information has been delivered. For instance Decision Support System is highly used in such cases to support this essential process. Electronic Record Management is used to ensure that all the organizations records are secure and free from damage. Cases of loss are also minimized through use of ERM. This project will tackle five IS-related solutions which are used often in companies. They are Decision Support System, Electronic Records Management, Cloud Computing, Transaction Processing System and Database Management System. The above mentioned solutions have highly benefitted companies and we expect more to be unveiled due to technological advancement.
