CHAPTER 10 : INFORMATION SYSTEM

Information systems are a combination of people, technology, and business processes that work together to achieve a business goal. People, processes, and information technology are all part of every information system (IS). Many IT workers, in fact, spend the majority of their time working with people and procedures. Professionals in information systems collaborate with others to build and customize the systems you use every day. Every information system is created with the intention of making someone's life simpler. Unfortunately, the consumer is not always that person. Action, problem-solving, and teamwork are all part of an information systems career. Information systems professionals strive to bridge the knowledge gap between business users and technologists, thus they must be well-versed in both realms. Because of the characteristics listed above, many people are interested in pursuing a career in information systems. It is, however, engaging because it is a career that allows you to work on improving people's lives. IS experts work to establish systems that businesspeople may use to boost their efficiency and performance.
