processes in today’s world has led to the following healthcare business asking for a
report to propose one such system specifically tailored for the company to transform
their different business processes in the form of memos. The report begins by
presenting the functionalities of the proposed information system for the business. Then
it discusses the various hardware and software requirements necessary for
implementing the system along with explaining the transition process. After that the
report describes how the information system’s capabilities render the existing shadow IT
projects of the organization practically useless. Thereafter the report provides the
weekly status reports of weeks 8 and 9 and after which it ends by providing
observations in concluding notes.
It is observed that the existing information system of the business is not
able to address all the business or departmental goals or effectively assist in everyday
operations. As a result, there has been a rise of shadow IT projects in different
departments to develop ingenious in-house tools address their concerns. This is
becoming difficult to manage and affecting production of members by having them
invest substantial work hours on such projects. That is the reason why the company

information the information system, the concerned solution is an open system which
means the information systems interacts with inputs from outside the system (Pearlson,
Saunders and Galletta 2016). This can include interactions with customers over the
internet. The various types of functions are given below.
Functions of Proposed Information System
The input for the proposed information system includes inputs from both the
organizational members as well as the customers of the organization (Cheng et al.
2016). The inputs from the organizational members can include submission of tasks,
reports, publishing of content and setting up goals and analytical checkpoints. On the
other hand, the kind of input expected from the end users or customers of the
organization are form submissions, generation of tickets, requests for orders and
posting of feedbacks. The quality of the analytical output generated by the information
system directly depends on the effort given by a member in specifying the
measurements for analysis.
