System Evaluation
Information technology is known as "the study, design, development, application, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems. There are many systems that an organization uses on a daily basis from Management Information Systems (MIS), to Transaction Processing Systems (TPS), to Decision Support Systems (DSS). In today’s society those systems are the vital parts of an organization’s survival. IT systems are the backbone of an organization’s operations and without them organizations fall short of providing services. They drive all of the daily tasks, store files and data, provides solutions to problems, and give competitive advantages.
With the emergence of various IT solutions and systems these days, many IT infrastructures have become more flexible to the demands of the business. I work for the Holly Springs School District, and one system that it uses to be more flexible to our community demands in called the Notify Me System. The Notify Me System or “Notify Me Networks offers customizable interactive alerting solutions that empower businesses to provide customers with the personalized, critical information they need to make intelligent decisions and respond immediately.” (NotifyMe Networks, 2001). One may receive this information via email messaging, phone call, or text message. The organization uses all types of systems, however, the high volume of information needed to be sent out to the community, and the demand for specific information is what drove the organization to find a system that would allow it inform an enormous amount of people at a time. The district required that the IT department find some type of system that was capable of doing so, and the department discovered the Notify Me System. Other requirements were that the system had to be able to store information of each contact, which included only the phone number
