FOUNDATIONS OF INFORMATION SYSTEM2
Introduction
Information systems are actually implemented in in a business organisation for
running the operation system because it has the ability to consist of all the generated data
within the business to organise in such a way that it helps to answer for the question and
solved problems constituting the business and its benefits (Kochan, Nowicki, Sauser &
Randall, 2018). Information system is mostly a software that helps an organisation to analyse
and store data in such a way that this raw data can be turned into a Useful information for the
decision making system within the organisation when in need. The main components of
having an information system within an organisation is computer hardware computer
software data bases and data warehouses, telecommunications and human resources and
procedures. Fibre Fashion is an organisation which mostly has been serving Melbourne for
the past 20 years with it clothing product (Cope, Mikhailova, Post, Schlautman & McMillan,
2017). The wardrobe range that the organisation provides makes the organisation and
assembly or a small to medium Enterprise that mostly is a women centric organisation. The
organisation has developed its business based on the idea of women empowerment and this is
why the lead executive of the organisation are all women. It has also been found that the
organisation uses its sales report stored in in spreadsheet that is regarded as the information
system for fibre. This is why it is required that the organisation needs an improved system as
the permanent information system of the organisation. This would be done by representing
the research based process to find out the issue that you organisation is facing in the current
times forming a set of research questions. This research questions would form the base of the
issues present and the findings based on the literature review which would be done by
reviewing a set of journal papers represented by previous authors. Then these literatures
would be compared with one another to find out the best possible solution for Fibre Fashions
to use as their information system.

FOUNDATIONS OF INFORMATION SYSTEM3
Background to the issue
As it has already been discussed about the organisation of Fibre Fashions, the
organisation is a small to medium enterprise or an SME. The organisation has a set of
customers and is trying to acquire more. The number of new clients within the organisation
are few and they have represented an online store for the company as well. For the
organisation assistant has been developed that has the ability of capturing the information of
the customers and the location from which the customers are viewing the online store. There
are several aspects of the viewing patterns that the system captures information about the
customers and their shopping habits categorized by new client, plants that placed an order but
then cancel, clients who viewed and order but did not place, orders to come, cancel orders,
sales and return, a section that are not interested to you, the app based orders the viewed look
book and the ordered packet. The entire system gathering information stores everything in a
spreadsheet, where the data is categorised according to the said divisions. Therefore it is
clearly seen that the customer details are stored in the spreadsheet along with the notes
written about each transaction, order, cost of good maintained through the spreadsheet. Self
this clothing line represent different brands, the Excel spreadsheet has to accept the way there
is an ability of tracking the brands which is very inefficient. This is why the organisation is
looking forward to an information system that would told the data as the spreadsheet used to.
The organisation is also looking forward to improve the information system since there are
many drawbacks of using Excel sheet as information systems.
