- Outages can cause significant disruptions
→ People can be left behind in the information age
- Strong linage between computer literacy and a person’s ability to compete in the

- From different sources
→ Analyze the data and it into information
- Structure, clean and store the data
- Develop profiles and new insights
→ Provide the information to people when making decisions
- Consciously and unconsciously
- Anytime, anywhere
Decisions
→ To build effective information systems we need to understand what knowledge is needed
- What decisions are being made?
- By whom, when and where?
- What information helps to make better decisions?
- Where can we get?
- How should it be analyzed/delivered?
Designing information systems
Taking the building blocks and putting them together
- Data: the root and purpose of information systems
- Hardware, software and telecommunications networks: the components of
information systems
- People: the builders, managers and users of information systems
- Organizations: the context of information systems
