MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

Introduction:
The information system is a sociotechnical, formal and organizational system which are
designed for processing, collecting and distribution of the information (Pearlson, Saunders and
Galletta 2019). In the aspects of digital computers, information systems are also considered as
the computer information system, which is a system including both computers and peoples for
interpretation of information. Any specific type of information system can support management,
operations and the process of decision making (Cassidy 2016). For organizations, a specific type
of information system can be quite useful as it provides several benefits to the business.
In this report, the business procedure of Mirvac has been analysed. Mirvac is a real estate
group which is mainly focused on the development of properties on a joint venture. The current
business portfolio of Mirvac includes retail centres, commercial offices, and industrial properties.
In the current aspects, Mirvac is facing some crucial problems regarding the management of their
data. Currently, all the data in Mirvac is processed manually, which takes a large amount of time
and also errors are occurring in the manual system. For this reason, in many of the cases, Mirvac
is failing to deliver orders on time. This is adversely impacting the business and the reputation of
them. Thus, it is important for Mirvac to implement a proper solution regarding this. Here,
Mirvac can consider implementing an appropriate information system as they are facing problem
regarding the proper management of the data. Thus, in the following section, a brief discussion is
done regarding how an information system solves the current problem of Mirvac.
Description of the Problem:
In the current context, the main problem that Mirvac is facing is the appropriate
management of the data. Previously, Mirvac utilized manual procedures for managing the

organizational data, but with the time, the business of Mirvac increased gradually, which also
increased the amount of data. In such conditions, manual procedures are quite inefficient for
handling this much amount of data (Gharaibeh et al. 2017). Due, to this reason, Mirvac is often
missing some crucial data regarding a project, or there are errors in a project. For these reasons,
Mirvac is frequently missing the deadlines of their project, which is directly reflecting on their
overall profit. In many cases, the clients do not want to accept the whole project as it delivered to
them after the given deadline. In such conditions, the profitability of the organization is affected
directly (Costa 2018). Also, as the projects got extended, Mirvac needs to spend its own
resources to complete the project, which again reducing their overall profits and in the extreme
cases, this is causing a loss for the Mirvac.
This does not only decreasing the profit of the organization, but also it is increasing
overall complaints of the customers. In many cases, clients are not getting their projects as per
their described criteria which are leading to the customer dissatisfaction and increased amount of
complaints (Kim, Kim and Heo 2019). This is also leading to various quality-related concerns for
the projects. As the customers are dissatisfied by the service of Mirvac, they are looking for
some another option. In this way, the overall market share for the Mirvac is also decreasing, and
it is again causing Mirvac to decrease its profit.
Platform for Solving the Current Organizational Problem:
In the current aspect, the main problem that Mirvac is facing is the proper management of
the organizational data. Thus, it is important to fix this current issue so that the organization can
operate properly. To solve the current problem, an information system can be useful for Mirvac.
For solving this current issue, the database management system has been selected here. A
database management system is a specific type of software package that is mainly designed for
