Information Systems Proposal A business partner, Steve, and I are talking about starting a small, brick and mortar, nostalgic record store. Steve does not have much experience with information systems or technology. A basic understanding of the different types of information systems available for the business to use can be helpful in him gaining experience. To help my partner become familiar with the systems, providing him with information of each system will provide Steve with insight on what to expect. Various types of information systems are helpful, and many could work, but each one comes with benefits as well as drawbacks.
Types of Information Systems
Transaction processing systems (tps) and functional area information systems are just two of the many information systems that we could use to our record store. Transaction processing systems monitor, collect, store, and process data from basic business transactions (Rainer & Cegielski, 2011). Rainer and Cegielski (2011) state that, “The TPSs are considered critical to the success of any enterprise because they support core operations.”
Functional are information systems summarize data and prepare reports. This would be important for financial reports that are needed monthly, quarterly, and yearly. Type of System | Function | Example | Transaction processing system | Processes transaction data from business events | Wal-Mart checkout point-of-sale terminal | Office automation system | Supports daily work activities of individuals and groups | Microsoft Office | Management information system | Produces reports summarized from
