The correlation between the decision making and information system is the main concern

included with the computers, database, facilities of interactive query and people. Information in
any organization is considered as the most essential aspect for effective decision-making.
Because of the significance of the information in the decision-making, the developed systems
have emerged for serving the proper information to the managers to make good decision. The
information system focuses on the utilization of the ICT (Information and Communication
Technology) in managing the organization. Now days, all the organizations are using the ICT for
managing the operation effectively for helping the managers to make proper decision, gaining
the competitive benefits and for facilitating the seamless external and internal communications

software that collaborate and integrates the various functional aspects of the organization and
provide the organization real time data consistently for fast and accurate decision making.
Previously, when any organization received orders from customer, whether this was for
the product purchased or the service requested, the order required for going through the paper
based process and workflow, which was passed with the inbox-to-inbox and various
departments. In this entire process, the purchase order needed to be re-typed as this passed
through multiple different department as this increases the potential error of the human. No
proper status of the account order was there as no official tracking device was there for alerting
every department. For retrieving the information of the order status, the customer or the clients
were directed frequently for contacting the warehouse of the organization for the manual
research.
Now days, the organizations are eliminating the inaccuracy of the paper-based record and
track by implementing the software like ERP system. The information system eliminates the
inefficiencies in the workflow or the process like order monitoring and tracking. Instead of the
standalone system, the information system uses the unified program, which connects the multiple
functional departments like, finance, audit, warehouse, purchasing, planning, manufacturing,
HR, marketing, sales and inventory. While all the departments have the own software module
sets, the software of the information system is integrated in order to make it easy for sharing the
information in the organization. After any department completes the updating process of the
order, this will be routed to the following department automatically in order to make everyone
alerted for any changes.
