Use of Information Management Systems [MIS]


Use of Information Management Systems

The management of Information is facilitated by the use of Information Technology and Information Sciences. The popular Information Management Systems can be listed as follows:

Document management system (DMS)

The DMS is focused primarily on the storage and retrieval of self-contained electronic data resources in the document form. Generally, The DMS is designed to help the organizations to manage the creation and flow of documents through the provision of a centralized repository. The workflow of the DMS encapsulates business rules and metadata.

Content management system (CMS)

The CMS assist in the creation, distribution, publishing, and management of the enterprise information. These systems are generally applicable on the online content which is dynamically managed as a website on the internet or intranet. The CMS system can also be called as ‘web content management’ (WCM).

Library management system (LMS)

Library management systems facilitate the library technical functions and services that include tracking of the library assets, managing CDs and books inventory and lending, supporting the daily administrative activities of the library and the record keeping.

Records management system (RMS)

The RMS are the recordkeeping systems which capture, maintain and provide access to the records including paper as well as electronic documents, efficiently and timely.

Digital imaging system (DIS)

The DIS assist in automation of the creation of electronic versions of the paper documents such as PDFs or Tiffs. So created Electronic documents are used as an input to the records management systems.

Learning management system (LMS)

Learning management systems are generally used to automate the e-learning process which includes the administrative process like registering students, managing training resources, creating courseware, recording results etc.

Geographic information system (GIS)

The GIS are special purpose, computer-based systems that facilitate the capture, storage, retrieval, display and analysis of the spatial data.

Simulation Practice Problems

1. There is only one telephone in a public booth of a metro station. Following table indicates the distribution of arrival time and duration of calls: Time Between arrivals (minutes) 4 5 6 Probability 0.1 .6 0.3 Call Duration (minutes) 3 4 5 6 Probability 0.14 0.6 0.12 0.14 Simulate for 100/500/1000 times. Conduct 3 such trials. It is proposed to add another telephone to the booth. Justify the proposal based on the waiting time of caller.Generate graphs to support your answer. 2. A baker needs to find out the cookies he need to bake each day. The probability distribution for the cookies customers is as follows: Number of customers/day 7 9 11 14 Probability 0.35 0.30 0.15 0.20 C...

System Analysis and Design (SAD)

Introduction to System Analysis and Design (SAD) System are created to solve Problems. One can think of the systemsapproch as an organised way of dealing with a problem. In this dynamic world , the subject system analysis and design, mainly deals with the software development activities. This post include:- What is System? What are diffrent Phases of System Development Life Cycle? What are the component of system analysis? What are the component of system designing? What is System? A collection of components that work together to realize some objectives forms a system. Basically there are three major components in every system, namely input, processing and output. In a system the different components are connected with each other and they are interdependent. For example, human body represents a complete natural system. We are also bound by many national systems such as political system, economic system, educational system and so forth. The objective of the system demands tha...
