-the original type of information system developed to support managerial decision.

Example: daily or weekly sales analysis reports monthly financial statements. * Exception Reports * Demand Reports and Responses * Push Reporting
ONLINE ANALITICAL PROCESSING(OLAP)
-enables managers and analyst to interactively examine and manipulate large amounts of detailed and consolidated data from many perspectives. OLAP involves basic analytical operations: * Consolidation * Drill-down * Slicing and Dicing
OLAP Examples Common Business areas where OLAP can solve complex problems include: * Marketing and sales analysis * Clickstream data * Database marketing * Budgeting * Financial reporting and consolidation * Profitability analysis * Quality analysis
Geographic Information and Data Visualization Systems * Geographic Information System (GIS) – is DSS that uses geographic databases to construct and display maps, as well as other graphics displays that support decisions affecting the geographical distribution of people and other resources. * Data Visualization Systems (DVS)- represent data using interactive, three- dimensional, graphical forms such as charts, graphs and maps.
