How information systems are transforming businesses
Information systems have become an important component of businesses today due to advances in technology. With improved technologies, business can now tap into them to reap the benefits of such innovation. Globalization has made it easier for businesses to reach consumers and vice versa hence the business environment is transforming online. Consequently, businesses have to innovate and implement information systems to be able to survive under the changing conditions.
Firstly, information systems enable a business to maintain a competitive advantage in an industry. By implementing such systems, a business can be able to manufacture products that delivers superior performance (Aydinera, Tatoglu, Bayraktar, & Zaim, 2019). The systems enable the data collection and collation of views and customer experiences which can be analysed to implement changes to products or services. Furthermore, business can reply to their customers in real time using such systems hence reducing the time required to manually visit the business centres.
Apart from that, business information systems support the management to make better decisions. Using the systems, business owners are able to get real time data that informs them on the best options to choose (Aydinera, Tatoglu, Bayraktar, & Zaim, 2019). Therefore, aspects such as allocation of funds and production of goods can be properly managed since information is readily available. Additionally, response times can be improved with decisions that would normally take months reduced to shorter periods. Businesses can thus perform better due to proper decisions based on predictions and forecasts made using information systems.
More so, business information systems also simplify business processes through integration of the different aspects of the business (Stair & Reynolds, 2015). This would enable the business to compare and determine whether aspects such as manufacturing comply with the quality management specifications. Such monitoring thus ultimately improves service delivery due to the checks available that identify and alert users when required. Furthermore, the accuracy of operations can be increased since repetitive tasks can be automated thus enabling employees to better perform their functions.
Telecommunication operations and security measures to ensure protection of information.
Telecommunication operations involve the usage of electronic transmissions to move messages over long distances. Such information may be in the form of messages, data, video, voice or images. Integrating telecommunications with computers systems thus develops a network through which computers can communicate remotely through the internet. Therefore, users can then use these computers to access data or information to further make decisions or process it for other uses.
Security systems thus are prone to vulnerabilities which can be used by hackers to gain access to sensitive information. Therefore, for information to be protected by businesses, it becomes essential for them to increase their vigilance in password management (Stair & Reynolds, 2015). Pr...
