Week 1 Reflection
Management information systems is a versatile concept applicable to a broad range of environments. According to the video, the development of a particular system begins with the identification of the intentions of the system therein. In my previous workplace, the management wished to develop a system that would ensure that orders made by the clients and consequent payment of the purchase fee at the front-office was reflected in the back-end services department. Therefore, the employees involved in the packaging of the products could immediately be notified of the customer needs, without the necessity for the employee on the front-office desk physically delivering the customer’s request to the packaging department. The company set out to enlist the services of a company that used this information to develop a system applicable to the business objectives therein.
