Global E-Business and Collaboration

Hai guys! Welcome back with me again^^

So, in the 2nd week I've learned about Global E-Business and Collaboration. The thing that I want to emphasize is in order to operate, businesses must deal with many different pieces of information about suppliers, customers, employees, invoices and payments, and of course their products and services. Business processes are the collection of activities required to produce a product or service. These activities are flows of material, information, and knowledge among the participants in business processes. Today, information technology can do much more. New technology can actually change the flow of information, making it possible for many more people to access and share information, replacing sequential steps with tasks that can be performed simultaneously, and eliminating delays in decision making. New information technology frequently changes the way in business works and supports entirely new business models. A typical business organization has systems supporting processes for each of the major business functions - systems for sales and marketing, manufacturing and production, finance and accounting, and human resources. It also has different systems supporting the decision-making needs of each of the main management groups.

In all but the smallest of firms, the information systems department is the formal organizational unit responsible for information technology services. It is responsible for maintaining the hardware, software, data storage, and networks that comprise the firm's IT infrastructure. The information systems department consists of specialists, such as programmers, systems analysts, project leaders, and information systems managers and is managed by chief information officer (CIO).

The benefit from Social Business and Collaboration which are 1) increasing in productivity such as the quality and the innovative of product and service, 2) increasing sales and profit. The tools that we need to use usually are E-mail, Internet, Video Conf., Wiki, Sharepoint, Dropbox, IBM Lotus, etc. Also there are Chatter, Microsoft, IBM Connections and Jive as the software. And who do you guys thinks that manages it all? The answer is MIS Department which are the programmer and system analyst.

I think that's all from me for this week's chapter. See you guys soon and Thankyou for paying attention!!

Introduction to MIS

Halo guys! It's been a year since I posted something on this Blog. So this time, I got Management Information System as my Subject in 7th semester. On top of that, once a week in 4 months ahead, I will share to you guys about what I've learnt from MIS itself.

So, for the first time let's jump into the Introduction. MIS or Management Information System is tools to gather and analyst information from networks. It has relations with these 3 keywords which are Organization, Management and Technology. MIS has 3 process which are 1) Data Gathering 2) Data Processing 3) Get the Information (after point 1 and 2 are done). After that, the results from the process itself are new idea/product, analyzing cost and increasing cost. How MIS can help us?
