Recommended: Importance of computer hardware

Reflection 1 on chapter’s 1, 2 and 3 Introduction: It was during the terminal phase of my salad days that I met my destiny –Computer, a wonder machine. I always believed that growing field like computers along with management would spell wonders in future. Revelations made by the use of computers in every field from basic agriculture to sophisticated industries created this confidence in me. This excited me to choose Management Information Systems as my area of study. We must have in depth technical knowledge in both computer hardware and system software to become a successful Information System’s Engineer. 1) Computer Technology: The primary agenda of the first chapter is to become familiar with computer technology and why technical knowledge is important. Information Systems is developed by Software development life cycle (SDLC) which is also called as Software Development Process. It is basically a framework which specifies the task performed at each step in a software development process. SDLC is used by Information System’s Engineer’s to build Information Systems. The activi...

  • Why Software Systems Fail

    4133 Words  | 9 Pages

    1.0 IntroductionIn this report I will be concentrating on the failure of software systems. To understand why software systems fail we need to understand what are software systems. Software systems are a type of information system. This is because a software system is basically a means for hardware to process information. Flynn’s definition of an information system is:"An information system provides procedures to record and make available information, concerning part of an organization, to assist organization-related activities."Humans have been processing information manually for thousands of years, but with the vast increase of demand for knowledge this century has meant that a new method of information processing has been needed. Software systems have provided a new means that is much faster and efficient.

  • Computerized Maintenance Management Systems

    6782 Words  | 14 Pages

    We need to acknowledge at the outset that CMMS are not for every organization and that current research shows that as much as fifty percent of all CMMS start up have failed to pay back a meaningful return on investment after two years of operations. That is to say in many cases the heavy investment in CMMS information technologies have failed to live up to the much publicized benefits of automation and have delivered some disappointed results. So we do not want to give the impression that CMMS in themselves will cure all the ills of the profession and to advice against walking into the same technology trap that are endemic to the business community at large. In a rush to automate every job function that affects organizational efficiency and bottom line profits, many managers are overlooking important caveats inherent in all information technology implementations. This highlights the point that an organization needs to know how to find the right CMMS and how to implement and maintain the system. The decreasing costs of computer hardware, and the emerging power of microcomputers and software technologies, have disguised the question of feasibility.
