The word "technology" is known to us since ancient Greece. Then it meant skill, skill, art, that is, a process. If we define the receipt of the necessary data as a resource that does not differ in value from oil or gas, then the phrase “information systems and technologies” will mean the process of processing this resource.
So, we are dealing with a system that combines methods and tools for accumulating and processing various data. It serves to analyze the information received, on the basis of which a person makes decisions. Information systems and technologies are applied in almost all areas of modern production. Of course, such a widely used concept has three conventional divisions: concrete, basic, and global.
The first division includes all methods, tools and data processing models using the information resources of the globe. The basic type is used in any specific field - in production, medicine, training or scientific research. Specific systems help to solve individual problems, for example, in the field of planning, accounting or analysis.
Information systems and technologies, like other areas, are not only constantly developing, but also constantly improving. Their evolution is stimulated by the emergence of new tools that simplify and speed up the processing of information, analyze and transmit data faster. The basis of modern systems is the concept of information security, because as these technologies develop, the distance that data is transmitted and the number of people who have access to it increases, and therefore their level of security decreases.
Information systems and technologies use software and hardware as hardware, which is also called information tools. In fact, this is a software package for a computer that allows you to achieve a specific goal. It may include text editors, compact publishing systems, database management applications and creating graphs and tables.
The management information system is one of the types of technologies described above. It provides the necessary information to all employees of an individual enterprise or organization. With its help, the work of all divisions of this company is organized and synchronized. Information
At the same time, I am provided in the form of reports that show the trends of changes, their causes and solutions to fix them. The system evaluates the real state of the object and the deviation from the planned, identifies the causes of this deviation and analyzes possible solutions and actions. Reports are regular, special, summarizing, comparative and emergency.
The introduction of information systems allows you to establish the work of an office or enterprise and eliminate mistakes made earlier. As a result, the work of the company’s divisions becomes more coordinated, which contributes to productivity growth.
