Abstract
An information system is an arrangement of components (people, activities, data, networks, technology) that are integrated for the purpose of supporting and improving the day-to-day operations in a business, as well as fulfilling the problem-solving and decision-making information needs of business managers [WHIT94 39]. They provide different levels of support for the various business functions in order to effectively accommodate the users and their individual responsibilities (figure 4.a).
