Overview of KPMD Management Information Systems
A management information system (MIS) or executive information system (EIS) can be defined as software that takes key data from an organisation's
core systems, to provide information support for decision making. An MIS should provide easy access to both internal and external information relevant to meeting the strategic goals
of the organization. Such systems are therefore commonly referred to as decision support systems (DSS) or business information systems (BIS), or even business intelligence (BI).
The emphasis of management information systems is on graphical displays and easy-to-use user interfaces. They offer strong reporting and drill-down capabilities often using
data warehousing technologies. In general, a good management information system helps top-level executives analyse, compare, and highlight trends in important variables so that
they can monitor performance and identify opportunities and problems. In more recent times, the internet and more importantly organistions' intranets and extranets have become the de-facto
standard infrastructure for delivering both graphical and tabular-based information to managers' desktops.
Here at KPMD, we have many years of experience of linking and extracting data from disparate systems. We also have a vast amount of expertise in developing web-based
applications based around Microsoft SQL Server databases. Contact us to discuss how we can feed your key-performance indicators from your existing legacy systems into an easy to use system
for displaying and comparing your organisation's performance.
