MANAGEMENT
Management (or managing) is the administration of an organization, whether it is a business, a
not-for-profit organization, or government body. Management includes the activities of setting
the strategy of an organization and coordinating the efforts of its employees (or of volunteers) to
accomplish its objectives through the application of available resources, such as financial,
natural, technological, and human resources. The term "management" may also refer to those
people who manage an organization - individually: managers.

INFORMATION
Information can be thought of as the resolution of uncertainty; it is that which answers the
question of "what an entity is" and thus defines both its essence and nature of its characteristics.
The concept of information has different meanings in different contexts. Thus the concept
becomes related to notions of constraint, communication, control, data, form, education,
knowledge, meaning, understanding, mental stimuli, pattern, perception, representation, and
entropy.
Information is associated with data, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and
information is data in context and with meaning attached. Information also relates to knowledge,
as knowledge signifies understanding of an abstract or concrete concept.

SYSTEM
A system is a group of interacting or interrelated entities that form a unified whole. A system is
delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment,
described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning. Systems are the subjects
of study of systems theory.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (MIS)

Management information system (MIS) is a computer system consisting of hardware and
software that serves as the backbone of an organization’s operations. An MIS gathers data from
multiple online systems, analyzes the information, and reports data to aid in management
decision-making. MIS is the use of information technology, people, and business processes to
record, store and process data to produce information that decision makers can use to make day
to day decisions. The full form of MIS is Management Information Systems. The purpose of
MIS is to extract data from varied sources and derive insights that drive business growth.
MIS is also the study of how such systems work.
Improved Decision-Making
The purpose of an MIS is improved decision-making, by providing up-to-date, accurate data
on a variety of organizational assets, including:
 Financials  Real estate
 Inventory  Marketing
 Personnel  Raw materials
 Project timelines  R&D
 Manufacturing

The MIS collects the data, stores it, and makes it accessible to managers who want to analyze
the data by running reports.

AUTOMATION
The dictionary defines automation as “the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a
system operate automatically.”
Automation is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal human
assistance. Automation or automatic control is the use of various control systems for operating
equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching
on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and
vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention.
We define automation as "the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the
production and delivery of products and services.”
Using our definition, the automation profession includes “everyone involved in the creation and
application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and
services”; and the automation professional is “any individual involved in the creation and
application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and
services.”

Automation encompasses many vital elements, systems, and job functions.

Automation provides benefits to virtually all of industry. Here are some examples:
 Manufacturing, including food and pharmaceutical, chemical and petroleum, pulp and
paper
 Transportation, including automotive, aerospace, and rail
 Utilities, including water and wastewater, oil and gas, electric power, and
telecommunications
  Defense
 Facility operations, including security, environmental control, energy management,
safety, and other building automation
 And many others
Automation crosses all functions within industry from installation, integration, and maintenance
to design, procurement, and management. Automation even reaches into the marketing and sales
functions of these industries.
Automation involves a very broad range of technologies including robotics and expert systems,
telemetry and communications, electro-optics, Cybersecurity, process measurement and control,
sensors, wireless applications, systems integration, test measurement, and many, many more.
Automation Engineering
Automation engineering has two different meanings:
 From a software engineering point of view looking to automate software processes.
 From a traditional engineering sense providing automated solutions to physical activities.

AUTOMATED INFORMATION SYSTEM (AIS)

An Automated Information System (AIS) is a system of computer hardware, computer software,
data and/or telecommunications that performs functions such as collecting, processing, storing,
transmitting and displaying information.
Program Managers (PM) for acquisitions of AIS applications are responsible for coordinating
with organizations that will host (run) the applications early in the acquisition process. The PM
needs to address operational security risks which the AIS may impose upon the organization, as
well as identifying all system security needs that may be more easily addressed by organizational
services than by system enhancement. The baseline Information Assurance (IA) Controls serve
as a common framework to facilitate this process. The Designated Approving Authority for the
organization receiving an AIS application is responsible for incorporating the IA considerations
for the AIS application into the enclave’s Information Assurance Plan (ISP). The burden for
ensuring that an AIS application has adequate assurance is a shared responsibility of both the
AIS application PM and the Designated Approving Authority for the hosting organization;
however, the responsibility for initiation of this negotiation process lies clearly with the PM.
PMs should, to the extent possible, draw upon the common IA capabilities that can be provided
by the hosting organization.
A Major Automated Information System (MAIS) is an acquisition program for an Automated
Information System.
