Acknowledgement
Presenting this project in the present form, we keenly feel to recognize the
obligations of the personalities behind the screen. We wish to acknowledge
the encouragement and inspiration we received from our Faculty Mr. Manish
Kumar Sharma. We present our heartful gratitude to our project leader, who
immersed him in the subject matter and kept us simulated throughout this
endeavor.

The Purpose and Scope of MIS can be defined as “The combination of human
and computer based resources that results in the collection, storage, retrieval,
communication and use of data for the purpose of efficient management of
operations and for business planning”.

The role of the MIS in an organisation can be compared to the role of heart in
the body. The information is the blood and MIS is the heart. In the body, the
heart plays the role of supplying pure blood to all the elements of the body
including the brain. The heart works faster and supplies more blood when
needed. It regulates and controls the incoming pure blood, processes it and
sends it to the destination in the quantity needed. It fulfills the needs of blood
supply to human body in normal course and also in crisis.
The MIS plays exactly the same role in the organisation. The system ensures
that an appropriate data is collected from the various sources, processed, and
sent further to all the needy destinations. The system is expected to fulfill the
information needs of an individual, a group of individuals, the management
functionaries: the managers & the top management.
The MIS satisfies the diverse needs through a variety of systems such as
Query Systems, Analysis Systems, Modelling Systems and Decision Support
Systems. The MIS helps in Strategic Planning, Management Control,
Operational Control and Transaction Processing.

should be used to recognize, monitor, measure, limit, and manage risks. Risk
management involves four main elements:
● Policies or practices.
● Operational processes.
● Staff and management.
● Feedback devices.
Frequently, operational processes and feedback devices are intertwined and
cannot easily be viewed separately. The most efficient and useable MIS
should be both operational and informational. As such, management can use
MIS to measure performance, manage resources, and help an institution
comply with regulatory requirements. One example of this would be the
managing and reporting of loans to insiders. MIS can also be used by
management to provide feedback on the effectiveness of risk controls.
Controls are developed to support the proper management of risk through the
institution's policies or practices, operational processes, and the assignment
of duties and responsibilities to staff and managers.
Technology advances have increased both the availability and volume of
information management and the directors have available for both planning
and decision making. Correspondingly, technology also increases the
potential for inaccurate reporting and flawed decision making. Because data
can be extracted from many financial and transaction systems, appropriate
control procedures must be set up to ensure that information is correct and
relevant. In addition, since MIS often originates from multiple equipment
platforms including mainframes, minicomputers, and microcomputers, controls
must ensure that systems on smaller computers have processing controls that
are as well defined and as effective as those commonly found on the
traditionally larger mainframe systems.
All institutions must set up a framework of sound fundamental principles that
identify risk, establish controls, and provide for effective MIS review and
monitoring systems throughout the organization. Commonly, an organization
may choose to establish and express these sound principles in writing. The
OCC fully endorses and supports placing these principles in writing to
enhance effective communications throughout the institution. If however,
management follows sound fundamental principles and governs the risk in the
MIS Review area, a written policy is not required by the OCC. If sound
principles are not effectively practiced, the OCC may require management to
establish written MIS policies to formally communicate risk parameters and
controls in this area.
Sound fundamental principles for MIS review include proper internal controls,
operating procedures and safeguards, and audit coverage.

Since the MIS plays a very important role in the organisation, it creates an
impact on the organisation’s functions, performance and productivity.
The impact of MIS on the functions is
in its management. With a good MIS support, the management of marketing,
finance, production and personnel becomes more efficient. The tracking and
monitoring of the functional target becomes easy.
The MIS creates another impact in the organisation which relates to the
understanding of the business itself. The MIS begins with the definition of a
data entity and its attributes. It uses a dictionary of data, entity and attributes,
respectively, designed for information generation in the organisation.
The MIS calls for a systemisation of the business operations for an effective
system design. This leads to streamlining of the operations which complicate
the system design. It improves the administration of the business by bringing
a discipline in its operations as everybody is required to follow and use
systems & procedures. This process brings a high degree of professionalism
in the business operations.
Since the goals and objectives of the MIS are the products of business goals
& objectives, it helps indirectly to pull the entire organisation in one direction
towards the corporate goals and objectives by providing the relevant
information to the people in the organisation.

Historical Development
The role of business information systems has changed and expanded over
the last four decades.
In the incipient decade (1950s and '60s), “elecsystems” could be afforded by
only the largest organizations. They were used to record and store
bookkeeping data such as journal entries, specialized journals, and ledems”
were used to generate a limited range of predefined reports, including
income statements (they were called P & L’s back then), balance sheets
and sales reports. They were trying to perform a decision making
support role, but they were not up to the task.
By the 1970s “decision support
systems” were introduced. They were interactive in the sense that they
allowed the user to choose between numerous options and configurations.
Not only was the user allowed customizing outputs, they also could configure
the programs to their specific needs. There was a cost though. As part of your
mainframe leasing agreement, you typically had to pay to have an IBM
system developer permanently on site.
The main development in the 1980s was the introduction of decentralized
computing. Instead of having one large mainframe computer for the entire
enterprise, numerous PC’s were spread around the organization. This meant
that instead of submitting a job to the computer department for batch
processing and waiting for the experts to perform the procedure, each user
had their own computer that they could customize for their own purposes.
Many poor souls fought with the vagaries of DOS protocols, BIOS functions,
and DOS batch programming.
As people became comfortable with their new skills, they discovered all the
things their system was capable of. Computers, instead of creating a
paperless society, as was expected, produced mountains of paper, most of it
valueless. Mounds of reports were generated just because it was possible to
do so. This information overload was mitigated somewhat in the 1980s with
the introduction of “executive information systems”. They streamlined the process,
giving the executive exactly what they wanted, and only what they wanted.
The 1980s also saw the first commercial application of artificial intelligence
techniques in the form of “expert systems”. These programs could give
advice within a very limited subject area. The promise of decision making
support, first attempted in management information systems back in the
1960s, had step-by-step, come to fruition.
The 1990s saw the introduction of the Strategic information system. These
systems used information technology to enable the concepts of business
strategy developed by scholars like M. Porter, T Peters, J. Reise, C.
Markides, and J. Barney in the 1980s. The sustainability of these applications
has since been called into question by N. Carr, which Piccoli and Ives, among
others, have countered.
The role of business information systems had now expanded to include
strategic support. The latest step was the commercialization of the Internet,
and the growth of intranets and extranets at the turn of the century.
