MIS stands for Management Information Systems. It is about 
optimizing information systems to make day to day operations easier. A system is a collection of technologies used for storing and processing data. This information is used to make important decisions for organizations. MIS professionals specialize in creating systems that organizations can use to collect and analyze data. An example of this is Banner which is a system that many schools use to give students and teachers access to data. This is essential to organizations because information is stored in one place for all to use and analyze. System analysis tries to identify a problem the organization has and create a system that can be used to solve this problem. The core of all systems is information. Without information, there is nothing for the system to collect. MIS is essential to making organizations more efficient in their processes and decision making.

Hello Rachel,
Great post, learning about what MIS is and how we use it everyday is very interesting to read about. I like the example you talked about. Banner is something that us students use and rely on everyday and it’s important for that function to work properly for us. Knowing that there are people operating and managing these systems that allow us to have all of our information accessible with the click of a button is really fascinating. Rachel I also agree that MIS is essential to helping organizations make decisions and run efficiently. Overall, I think you described the concept of what MIS is.
