INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY-WEEK 4

In this week, I have studied about Information Systems, which is a combination of hardware, software, infrastructure and trained personnel organized to facilitate planning, control, coordination and decision making in an organization.

I also have known that there are 6 components of IS, which are:

1. Hardware: Consists of computer equipment used to perform input, processing and output activities.
2. Software: Consist of computer programs that govern the operation of the computer.
3. Database: Is an organized collection of facts and information, typically consisting of two or more related data files.
4. Telecommunications: Is an electronic transmission of signals for communications which enables organizations to carry out their processes and task through effective computer networks.
5. People: Manage, run, program, maintain the systems.
