IntroductionIntroduction

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Information technology can be broadly

defined as integration of computer with telecommunication equipment for storing, retrieving, manipulating and storage of data.

IntroductionIntroduction

Information System An information system can be defined as set of

coordinated network of components, which act together towards producing, distributing and or processing information. An important characteristic of computer-based information systems information is precision, which may not apply to other types.

ObjectiveObjective

Information Technology: Its objective is to define and

support technology standard

The technology used for the study, understanding planning, design , construction, testing, distribution, support and operation software computers and computer related systems that exist for the purpose of data information and knowledge processing.

Provide a reliable, efficient, friendly and easily-accessible organization for information technology and biomedical engineering support and guidance

ObjectiveObjective

Information system: Identity data requirements Understand the IS in automation, organizational learning

and strategic support. Understand IS for strategic organizational success Understand technological innovation to improve

competitive advantage

Information Systems

Information technology is the hardware and software that make information systems possible.

An information system is a system that uses information technology to capture, transmit, store, retrieve, manipulate, or display information used in one or more business processes.

Firms consist of groups of business processes and compete in a business environment.

A business process is a related group of steps or activities that use people, information, and other resources to create value for internal or external customers.

The business environment includes the firm itself and everything else that affects its success, such as competitors, suppliers, customers, regulatory agencies, and demographic, social, and economic conditions.

Comparison b/w IT & ISComparison b/w IT & IS

The main difference between information technology and information

systems (IS) is that IS personal is business oriented and focus on the

applications and implications of computing in the business domain. IT

does not focus on a single domain in which IT is practiced, but instead

focuses on the selection, integration and deployment of computing

technology.

IS requires the business skills to thrive in the Board

Room and learn enough about the technology to make sound strategic

decisions. On the other hand IT generally consists of planning and

deploying networking infrastructure or integrates databases or builds

significant Web sites.

In layman's terms IS a deal with the business side of

technology as IT deals with the technical side.

Examples in construction include:

Feasibility studies Scheme design Detail design Estimating and tendering Project planning Construction on site Administration

Business processes consist of steps related in time and place, have a beginning and end, and have inputs and outputs.

Advantages of IT:Advantages of IT:

Globalization: True globalization has come about only via this automated system. The creation of one interdependent system helps us to share information and end linguistic barriers across the continents.

Cost-effective: Computerized, internet business processes have made many businesses turn to the Internet for increased productivity, greater profitability, clutter free working conditions and global clientèle.

Communication: Quick and effective communication is vital to any business anywhere in the world. Information technology gives an entrepreneur or business the tools, like email, video conferencing, SMS, etc., essential to communicate efficiently and effectively.

Creation of New Jobs: One of the biggest advantage of IT has been the creation of a whole new field of opportunity for skilled personnel leading to new and interesting jobs. Hardware and software developers, computer programmers.

Advantages of using information systems:Advantages of using information systems:

Increased Productivity: When automation takes over some of the burden of the more mundane and routine tasks, the rapid speed increases productivity.

Increased Efficiency: Inputting data into information systems where it can be sorted, filed and processed is highly efficient. Long gone are the days of filing cabinets, missing papers, misfiled documents and other important details.

Better Profitability Levels: Initially investing in computer information systems is a large investment, but when strategically planned through proper system analysis, the investment in information systems can pay off handsomely over the long term.

Disadvantages of Information System:Disadvantages of Information System:

Depending on organization deployment, usage and extraneous factors, some disadvantages related to Management Information Systems can come to the fore. Allocation of budgets for MIS upgrades, modifications and other revisions can be quite tricky at times. Integration issues with legacy systems can affect the quality of output and vital business intelligence reports.

System dependent Limited functionality, by design Information overload for some managers Benefits hard to quantify High implementation costs System may become slow, large, and hard to manage Need good internal processes for data management May lead to less reliable and less secure data

Some Disadvantages of Information TechnologySome Disadvantages of Information Technology

Telephone: We cant take it wherever we go so we will not be able to receive phone calls , it occupies lot space , needs lots of connections

Internet: A very good tool for hackers, robbers and cyber scam group. Because of this they are accessed to all hte groups of people and it may lead to bank robbing.

Unemployment: While information technology may have streamlined the business process it has also crated job redundancies, downsizing and outsourcing. This means that a lot of lower and middle level jobs have been done away with causing more people to become unemployed.
