Information System:
Information is the life blood of an organization. Managers 
d e p e n d   u p o n accurate accessible and useful information, this requires
the information system to be r e s p o n s i v e   t o   t h e i r   u n i q u e
i n f or m a t i o n   n e e d s , t o   e m p o w e r   t h e m   t o   t h i n k   a n d a c t strategically,
develop effective plans, and make decisions that increase their own and
their organization’s competitiveness. Today, largely through advances in computer
and communications technology, we are living at a time that many people
call the information age.
One major reason our era is named so is because most working people
today have jobs that are information intensive. For example, jobs such as
teaching, accounting, retailing and managing are all predominantly based
on the handling of information. This emphasis differs from that of the
earlier decades, in which most jobs involved some type of physical labor
applied on farms and factories
Both computer and human mind act as processors that select data and
transform them into meaningful information. The data processing-
information cycle shown above i l l u s t r a t e s t h i s . S o m e o f t h e t y p e s o f
i n f or m a t i o n t h a t m a y b e pr o v i d e d t o d e c i s i o n makers after data are
transformed into information by computers or some other kind of  processing.
The format of the information received is often dictated by the needs
and preferences of the decision makers. All programs on a computer system can
break down into two main categories:

 Application software
 System software

Application software
includes user-oriented programs. Application software include the programs,
software packages, and tools needed for such specific, end-user-oriented tasks as
billing, accounts receivable, word processing, payroll, database management. Two
main categories of application software exist.

General-purpose application software

includes programs and packages that are being used by workers in the
organizations subunits such as word processing spreadsheets, database or
file management, and presentation graphics. These are more likely to
be purchased externally than developed internally by the organization.

Special-purpose application software

includes programs and packages that support the activities of workers in

a particular subunit. Accounting debiting and crediting e n t r i e s ,

p u r p o s e software’s as these software’s have been developed for special purpose
operations and have to be custom made according to the organizations
requirements. This kind of software is being used by a limited number of
users or subunits than are in general- purpose applications.
 System Development Life Cycle
SDLC

Feasibility report:

The MIS manager prepares the Feasibility Report to check cost

effectiveness and the required results of developing software.

Specification Requirement:

“HABIB BANK LTD”

MIS manager sees what is required for making system i.e.,

a l s .   T h e   p r e v i o u s   s y s t e m   i s analyzed to check what were the short comings
due to which new software is required.

System Design:

At this stage no actual programming is done but you will design the
required fields i.e., what are the fields for which entry of data is necessary e.g.
name, address etc and then their queries are designed, modules are formed, data
entry forms are made. Itis just paper work.

System Construction:

At this stage actual programming is done. A skeleton

of s y s t e m   i s   m a d e   a n d t h e   pr o g r a m m e r   pr o g r a m m e d   t h e
s o f t w a r e   e x a c t l y   u p   t o   t h e requirement of the MIS manager.

System Implementation:

After testing and debugging, the system is implemented, when MIS manager is
fully satisfied.

Post Implementation Support and Testing:

The problems are reprogrammed again.
