Different kind of information system
There are various information system are used within the business to make their
process better and smoother. There are three different levels I the organizations which are
Strategic management, Tactical management, Operational management.
Operational management
The operational management level is totally concerned with the daily activities at the
workplace of the company for examples Employees at the TESCO company do their task at the
workplace regularly, other staff and superiors as well. The users at the level use make

structure decisions. This means that they have to define the rules and the guidance to the
employees while making the decision process for the company.
The transaction processing System (TPS) are used to record the day to day companies
transaction which are used at the operational management level. The main objectives of the
this IT system us to answer the routine questions such as the calculations of the inventory
resources in the company, and sales of the company etc are the main process of this TPS
system
Tactical management level
This organization level is the dominated by the middle class level companies
managers , superiors and the head of the department etc come under it. The users at this level
oversee the companies activities of the users at the operational level. Tactical users make
semi-structured decisions (Brandon., 2016). The decisions are partly based on set guidelines and
judgmental calls. As an example, a tactical manager can check the credit limit and payments
history of a customer and decide to make an exception to raise the credit limit for a particular
customer. The decision is partly structured in the sense that the tactical manager has to use
existing information to identify a payment's history that benefits the organization and an allowed
increase percentage.
Management Information System (MIS) is used in the Tactical management level to
monitor and control the performance of the company and the outcome which company
produce . The output from the transaction processing system is used as the input for the MIS
system The MIS system analyzes the input with routine algorithms i.e. aggregate, compare and
summarizes the results to produced reports that tactical managers use to monitor, control and
predict future performance (Jain And et.al., International Business Machines Corp, 2017). This
helps to increase the performance of the company in the future company can take the
competitive advantages and also can gain the opportunities which can lead them toward the
success in the future.
Strategic management
The is one most senior level in the company where the all superiors or the head of the
company take the decisions. The senior level managers are concerned with the long term
planning of the firm. They use the information from the tactical managers and the outer
informative data to control provide the proper path during the making of the decisions.

To take the decision for them they need the proper guidelines are companies the
Decision Support system (DSS) this is used by the senior management to make the non-
routine decisions . The decision support system use the input from the internal system like the
transaction processing system and the management system and external systems. The main
objectives of this system is to provide proper and accurate solutions which are unique and
change the Frequently (Levykin and Chala., 2018). This helps to make the decision of the
company and provide the solution to the superiors of the company, so they can take the proper
planning and overcome from the problems which are faced at the company's workplace.
The integration of the Various stand-Alone Information system
Depending upon the partitions in the TESCo company there are a numbers paths to
invalid themselves into the value of the ERP ranging from the clean Sheet purchasing of the
Existing system, to trans facing the integrating their current systems with the one or more
individuals the modules of the ERP system in the firms Wile this decision point may appear
top be the pretty simple, and they are not since that the company always have to consider the
facts which ERP processes, tend to subsume and a alter the ways that the company behave
once they brave entirely spun up
The business functions like the standalone enterprise applications are the displacing
the functionality integrated integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) there are many
system which are used by the company at the company and the most comment is HR system
HR system
TESCO has the Hr team who are using the Stand alone system to run their functions
This type of HR software often offers many practical departmental functions and can help to
reduce the administrative burden to some degree by introducing automated processes within the
HR function. But it does have limitations which very quickly come to the fore when HR has to
interact with other areas of the business – Payroll and Finance are obvious examples (Owens
Wilson and Abell., 2019). An integrated HR system which interfaces directly with software in
other areas in the business is the ideal but can be difficult to get approval for.
Some of the the emerging ideas come from the tracking the root of the problems so
we can understand the problem properly and f or the HR managers complexity and the cost
have been the long recruiting issues for them in the technology debate. Hr managers of the

company have to interact which means that the searching of the Hr software solution which
can effective enough to solve the proper without affecting the companies budget.
Its all about Integration HR Software
The HR software gave tackled that the enterprise entrenched the problems head on and
have come up with an interesting solution which hinges on a forward-thinking modular approach and has the
flexibility to embrace the entire business over time, not just HR. It’s called Access Workspace at the hart
of the acess workplace is the central database in which the feeds ' one version of the of the
truth’ into one or many software apps that link to it (Puklavec, Oliveira and Popovič., 2018). In
this example, an HR system is set up initially, offering all the functionality, usability and
compliance features you would expect from any up-to-date HR software package. But Access
Workspace really comes into its own when your business is ready to do more. Further software
designed for other specialist areas can be added as and when required – either up front as part of
a new solution, or later as system upgrades are phased in.
HR system can grow
The module Approach in the system offers the opportunities to start with the one area
and add over the times It's much more cost-effective than a ‘big bang’ solution which is usually
expensive up front and can also mean costly disruption to day-to-day operations. Access
Workspace can also interface with numerous other software packages too, so no need to wipe the
slate clean and discard existing software that is still effective.
Challenges to the deployment of the information system
There are many challenges which can be faced by the TESCO company y if they are
implementing the new IT system at their workplace. They need to have proper guideline and
ways to overcome from those challenges (Suyono and et.al., 2017). Here are some of the
challenges which can be faced by the TESCO company in the implementation of the IT at their
workplace.
Knowledge of the IT system
Before implementing the IT system at their workspace of the TESCO company they
have to ensure the knowledge of the IT system, so they can take it in a use, and they also have to
teach their employees to learn how to use it. They have to provide them, training to learn the
skills and knowledge about the It system so they can understand how it really work.
Fear in employees

New It technology implementation in the workplace of the TESCO company can
create the fear in the employees mind because it can create the thinking in the employees min
d that they can lose their job so superiors of the company have to communicate with the
employees about the IT systems, and they have to provide the information that how it will be
useful for them to make their work more easy and this can be only possible if they will aware
their employees about the system otherwise it will create fear in employees of the TESCO
company.
Budget and time
The implementation of the IT system at the workplace of the challenges company is not
so easy because it can take ties to implementation and company also have to pay money for
the implementation of the IS system at their workplace (Theorin and et.al., 2017). This can also
affect the other activities of the company and create problem for the other activities and
employees as well.
Recommendation and Conclusion
As per the above essay I world like to suggest the TESCO company to implement IS
system at their workplace because it can help them to make their operational activities smooth
and it is useful to make every task easy for the company and their employees as well and some
information system can helpful to make the decision for the company and also they can solve
the problems by using the Decision Support system (DSS) system at the workplace so
superiors of the company can take the decision for the company and this will provide the better
pro0blesm solution to the company because it is specially designed for the decision-making
for the company. This will also help them to achieve the future opportunities, and they can
show their presence in the market where they are operating their business.
