Introduction
Brief background of Google
Google is a well-known organization which is known for uniqueness in comparison to its
competitors. Google has notion that time is valuable for its user and mainly focuses to increase
the efficiency of the search result for its user (Laudon and Laudon 2016). Google draws the
attention of the employees by making use of proper adaptive culture. Strategic analysis of google
is considered to be an important factor for designing of proper model of business. A business
strategy is more complex than designing of business model. Google has certain number of
business strategy which are product strategy of google, expansion strategy, revenue strategy and
vertical strategy.
Deployment of database and information system
A database is nothing but a collection of information which is organized in such a way
that it can easily managed and properly updated. In general data is organized in various ways like
rows, columns and many other forms like tables (Bentley, Omer and Sharp, 2013). Google make
use of Cloud SQL database which is considered to be a fully managed database. This particular
database is considered to have easy setup, maintenance and proper administration of SQL and
MySQL form of database for cloud storage. Various organization work with large amount of
data which is generally organized in database. An information system is stated as a software
which is software which helps in proper organization and analysis of data.
Google has provided the employee with flexibility to make choice from a large range of
computers. It is also ensured that the employees have proper access to information system in
relation to the projects undertaken by the organization (Laudon and Laudon 2016). Proper

development of IT infrastructure provides a balance between development of software of its own
and various ranges from products from outside.
Discussion
Analysis of deployment of database in Google
Google cloud platform provides where user from various location can easily store their
data. Google has used SQL and My SQL technique for the deployment of its database. Object
storage is needed various needs and prices which is managed by MySQL and NoSQL databases.
Google cloud storage has changed the expectation of online storage by providing a large number
of technical things like live data to popular cloud solution. Infrastructure of google is considered
to be the best online cloud storage (Chai, Liu and Ngai, 2013). Cloud SQL can be fully managed
by the help of database services which provides easy maintenance, managing and proper
administration of relational database in the cloud. Cloud SQL offers certain features like
performance and convenient use. It also provides an infrastructure by which various application
can work irrespective of user location.
Cloud Bigtable creates a platform for NoSQL database which is used for various
workloads. It is upgraded with Big Data technology like Hadoop and spark. It is considered to be
best choice for both operational use for analysis of financial of data (Martens and Teuteberg,
2012). Cloud spanner technology is relational database which provides high availability at large
scale. Cloud data store provides document based database for various services. It is associated
with rich dashboard of admin which provides various ways to have an access to database for
various things like mobile and web related loads.

Effect of information System on decision making
The importance of information system in decision making cannot be ignored. With the
increase in the number of employees, customer there is increase in number of transaction and so
the organization needs to have an effective management, planning and better decision making.
Decision making is considered to be an important task for various management system of an
organization like Google. Information cannot be serve as an alternative for proper management
on the contrary management cannot work to be without proper information. Decision making and
proper coordination can help the managers and workers to have proper analysis of problems and
it will ultimately help in creation of new products (Laudon and Laudon 2016). Evolution of latest
system can play an important role in implementation and development of information system.
The whole system works on three basic principles that are input, processing of data and lastly
output. The needs and requirement of information technology is growing on a daily basis and so
day by day its becoming complex in nature (Bentley, Omer and Sharp, 2013). So the result can
be obtained as the manual way of processing of data.
The ultimate goal of information system of a firm is to give the manager, management
and stakeholders with the information related to planning, forecasting and analyzing of business
(Mithas, Tafti, and Mitchell, 2013). Powerful and latest version of information system have
helped the organization to become more used to and flexible which will ultimately remove the
layers of various function of management. Improvisation of benefits of information system at
present can help in providing the proper architecture and infrastructure. It can be easily stated
that information system has helped in more diversification of various activities of human beings
(Chai, Liu and Ngai, 2013). In other words, information system can provide all the information

to the managers which will ultimately support them in carrying out various operation and helps
in proper decision making in an organization.
There are generally four types of information that transaction processing system,
management information system, decision support system and lastly expert system. Transaction
processing system is also known as data processing system. It generally performs the role of
collection and processing of data within an organization on a regular basis. They generally work
on the operational level of the organization. Some of the examples of TPS are invoice, payments
and shipping (Grant, 2016). Management information system is the application form of
information system which provides management based report on a fixed format. MIS help the
mangers to have planning, monitoring and controlling on a basis of month, week and year. Some
of the examples of MIS are scheduling of products, proper analysis of salary (Laudon and
Laudon 2016). Decision support system is the application of system of information which
support decision making system which cannot easily predicted. In many cases it is seen that DSS
works at the management level of the organization. Manager and executive of an organization
make use of DSS tools for accessing data warehouse so that they can easily get proper
information (Bharadwaj et al., 2013). A warehouse is nothing but a readable information
database which contains proper information which is generally created or generated by many
other transaction and organizing of database.
Expert system is nothing an expansion of DSS that is decision support system. It is the
programmed version of decision making system of information which generally capture and
reproduces knowledge (Bentley, Omer and Sharp, 2013). This type of application is generally
used in Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a system based technology which has
capability to act like human, gather new language and provide decision making. Office

Automation system is a wide range of business activities which is designed in such a way that it
can easily improve the workflow and establish communication among worker irrespective of
their physical location (Pagani, 2013). Personal information system is designed in such way that
it can easily meet the needs of single user. On the contrary group system is designed in such a
way that it can easily satisfy the needs of workgroup, this ultimately will increase the production
of group.
Benefits and Risk of information system in decision making
Advantage
Personal system is designed in such a way that it can easily bring a large number of
advantage to information system ranging from small organization to individuals. Introduction of
internet has created a platform by information and other resources can be easily accessed in
respective of user location (Connor and Lande, 2012). Management information system that is
MIS provides the managers a fast and easy access to internet.
The advantages of decision making are communication, globalization with various gap in
culture, availability, create new platform for new jobs. Communication with the help of
information technologies can help in gathering of information which will help in better decision
making. Availability of information system has made it possible for businesses to a platform of
24*7 which is important for the globe (Rodriguez, Martinez and Herrera, 2012). This ultimately
help in decision making anywhere purchase for various countries which are easier and more
convenient. Decision making with the help of information system can help in creating a platform
for new jobs. Computer programmers, software developers can create new opportunities of
employment with the help of information system (Han, Lee and Crespi, 2014).

Risk
Risk are defined as events which can easily have various number of outcomes. Risk
management is nothing but process which consist of response and methods to overcome and
prevent it from any further risk in any of the organization like Google (Srivastava et al., 2015). It
will ultimately minimize damage. This fact cannot be ignored that risk cannot be completely
removed from a system while performing risk assessment can help in analysis of risk which is
associated with the use and operation of a system. In many cases it is seen that it can easily
identify and manage risk at a particular level which is acceptable for the organization like
Google (Kang and Han, 2015). Risk mitigation can be used to have controls which minimize the
risk in a system.
Role of ISM
Information system manager make puts or implements information system or technology
within a particular organization (Low and Chen, 2012). The role of ISM generally consists of
planning, installing and maintenance which consist of software upgrades and various hardware
devices. IS manager mainly with certain issue like network security and services related to
internet (Grant, 2016). All the ISM round the globe make consultation with the organization with
the various managers. In many cases it is seen that they analyze the goals of a firm and after that
they use certain technology to achieve those goals. The ISM checks the continuous availability,
securing of data and various information technology related services in an organization (Brown
and Wilby, 2012). Information system manager require a proper understanding of various
practices of business.
