Review of The Value of IT

IT is used extensively throughout most (if not all) modern businesses. People use informa0on technology to work with informa0on. IT can provide compeHHve advantage unHl all businesses can readily acquire the same IT. Whether or not the world is at, IT plays a role and there are many implicaHons for business.

What are IS and TI?
Informa*on System (IS) versus Informa*on and Communica*on Technology Infrastructure (TI) IS is all the components and resources necessary to deliver informaHon and funcHons to the organisaHon. TI is the hardware, sokware, networking and data management that makes up and supports the informaHon system. In theory, IS could be pen-and-paper-based but we will focus on Computer-Based InformaHon Systems (CBIS)

Not Everything in a Business System is always an Informa*on System Business systems can also contain systems other than informaHon systems Example
Amazon has an informaHon system to handle the purchasing of books and other products. Amazon also has a physical system to handle the acquisiHon and delivery of the physical products. Oken though there are informaHon systems (e.g. logisHcs systems) to control these other systems.
A business system oken contains systems that are NOT informaHon systems!

With a buddy (or on your own) pick a business (any business) and consider the quesHons:
What are some of the inputs and outputs for this business (i.e. what goes in and what comes out)? What are some of the informaHon systems that it may contain (and what processing do they do)? What are some of sokware systems (if any) that it may contain (and what processing do they do)? What sort of non-informaHon-related systems may it contain (and what do they do)?

Importance of the Boundary of an InformaHon System

The boundary of an informaHon system determines what is inside and what is outside of the informaHon system As a result it determines what are the input and what are the outputs, as well as what informaHon processing and storage occurs. Consider the boundary carefully when describing an informaHon systems (don t make it too small or too big)!

SUMMARY
of the lecture!
Summary of What are IS and TI?

InformaHon Systems (IS) are systems that process and store (and retrieve) informaHon. ICT Infrastructure (TI) is the informaHon and communicaHon technology that runs the informaHon systems. A business is a system that contains other systems, including informaHon systems which may contain sokware systems. IS and TI careers are professional careers that work closely with the business (especially senior execuHves) InformaHon System DescripHon : 1. General DescripHon, 2. External DescripHon, 3.
