Management Information Systems (MIS)
An information system is the basis of a crucial managerial task, which is to gather, process, and distribute information. Since part of the task of the management is to distribute the information, the information system helps in availing the efficiency (Misra 152). One can acquire documents in a folder from a particular person within the group. Then the information is forwarded to the target group. That way, the information is not distorted, and the process is fast. Apart from saving time the process is also efficient in that there is less paperwork in an office (Misra 152). The papers occupy a large space and make the room untidy. The information can also be misplaced if not properly stored. However, using the information system makes the documents safe, and the office is neat.
Information systems facilitate the management functions and processes in an organization (Misra 152). Therefore, using the information system will be the reference point of the information that will facilitate the management of the issues within the organization. The information saved is used as the benchmark and it is not distorted as it is well kept. Moreover, information systems keep records and information that needs to be well kept for future reference or management functions. This shows that information management systems are very essential in organizations as it they drive accuracy of the control. This is because systems save time, and it is efficient and effective.
