 The strategic role of IS involves using IT to develop

products, services, and capabilities that give company
major advantages over the competitive forces it faces in
the global marketplace.

Strategic Information
Systems

significantly change business performance

contribute to attaining a strategic goal
fundamentally change the way a company does business,
or the way it competes,
or the way it deals with its customers or suppliers.

Characteristics of Strategic Information Systems:

Executive support system (ESS)

Decision Support System (DSS)
Management information system (MIS)
Knowledge work system (KWS)
Office automation system (OAS)
Transaction processing system (TPS)

Major types of systems

A transaction process system (TPS) is an information

processing system for business transactions involving the
collection, modification and retrieval of all transaction data.
Characteristics of a TPS include performance, reliability
and consistency.

TPS

 Among a variety of computer-based information systems that emerged during

the last decade, expert systems (ES) have become increasingly important to
individual users as well as to entire organizations. (Yoon Youngoch, Assessing
Expert Systems on Users Jobs, Southwest Missouri State University, May-June 2013)

The system is not able to control the event of failure or partition, but has the
responsibility for continued transaction processing and maintenance of the
replicated copies of the database in a consistent manner.. (Bharat Bhargava,
Transaction Processing and Consistency Control of Replicated Copies during failures in
distributed databases, Purdue University, 1987)

The central idea of our approach is that such a knowledge base cannot be
developed for information systems in general. It is necessary to focus on a
generalized application domain (such as business transaction processing) to
capture knowledge that is specific enough to really support the systems
analysis process. (Matthias Jarke, A Database Architecture for Supporting Business
Transactions)

Literature Review

For transaction processing, three classes of transactions must be

considered in a network environment:
(a) transactions that arrive and finish while the status of the up and
down sites does not change in the meantime;
(b) transactions that arrive when a particular site is up and finish after
this site has failed or network partition has occurred;
(c) transactions that arrive when a particular site is down/partitioned
and finish when such a site is recovering or the network is merging.
