INFORMATION SYSTEM1
Introduction
Many software tools and methods are being used in small and medium organization
which will help in manufacturing products which will help various organization in
synchronization of various enterprise system and manufacturing various process (Laudon and
Laudon, 2013). The ultimate goal behind the implementation of real time communication and
integration of various materials and information (Chourabi et al., 2012). Implementation of new
business system or upgradation of any existing one can be considered to be most valuable for
resource, time and people. During the implementation of information system following area like
planning, analysis of system and requirements, designing, development must be taken into
account.
Aims
The main notion behind this essay is to provide brief idea regarding various types of
information systems (Reichert and Weber, 2012). Justification on the various type of standalone
information system has been discussed. Important areas like efficiency of various process across
organization, improved visibility, accelerated growth, proper IT time and saving of cost,
innovation will be discussed in details in the coming pages of the essay (Romney and Steinbart,
2012). Challenges regarding the implementation of information system like selection of right
technology, implementation of shared data, redefining of various house process and other
consideration will be discussed in the coming pages (Peppard, and Ward, 2016). A list of
recommendation regarding the implementation of information system will be discussed in the
coming pages of the essay.
Objectives

INFORMATION SYSTEM2
To integrate various type of information systems which can result in getting more
targeted information in various domains like market, suppliers and competitors which will
ultimately help in improving decision making capabilities of a business and will provide a
competitive advantage for various organization Bonham-Carter, 2014).
Discussion
Three type of Information System
Small organization or business should be more concerned about production of quality of
service and also have a notion of turning mountains of data into proper information. For
achieving a competitive advantage various small organization consider information system as the
corporate, tactical and strategies of operation (Venkatesh, Brown and Bala, 2013). For best use
of data as an asset of organization various firms must adopt a strategy for information which
mainly depends on the implementation of information system. This new implementation will
make business transaction easier and will give power to various business leader to have faster
and informed decision (Stair and Reynolds, 2013). Three different type of information system
are transaction processing system, management information system and executive information
system.
Transaction processing system (Operational Information system): A small business makes
use of transaction processing system or TPS which generally result from day to day business
operation like building of paychecks and various orders related to purchasing of goods (Hall,
2012). TPS is much similar to batch system which generally requires the user interaction with
any system in a particular time which will ultimately help the system to collect, retrieve, storing
and modification related to it. In this system a user enters a data of transaction by the help of a

terminal and after that data is stored in the database and after that a proper output is produce
(Pearlson, Saunders and Galletta, 2016). Let us consider an example for better understanding
where a small business owner has direct a system of bank to have debit in saving account with an
amount of five hundred dollars and after that the amount is credited into account of the
organization. Due to constant system updates a user can easily have updates regarding the data of
TPS like balance in the account.
Decision support system (Tactical Information System) : A DSS or decision support system
will allow managers of small organization and owners makes use of predefined and hoc reports
for providing support for planning of operation and various decision. By making use of DSS a
user can easily find answer to the question which is considered as a method of evaluation of
decision before the adoption or implementation of this particular system (Galliers, and Leidner,
2014). The answer to particular question can easily take the shape of data summary report like
revenue of products by making use of revenue which is generated from quarter report of sales.
For having an analysis various owner of business and managers must make use of interface for
selecting a particular graphic representation which is consider to be key performance for a small
organization which generally tracks the progression towards a particular goal (Sezer et al., 2013).
For example, a manufacturing unit of a dashboard makes use of dashboard for representing the
number of products which is available on particular line.
Executive Support System (Strategic informative System) : Executive support system or ESS
generally contains certain report which are predefined can help various small business owners
and managers to have proper identification regarding the support for strategic planning and
proper decision making. User working on the system can easily click on the ESS screen and can
easily provide predefined graph and report which are generally based on individual early defined
