Gardeners+: Business Systems and Information
Gardeners+ small business loan for
gardening business
obtained by Mary, Amanda and Ed
SOLVING PROBLEMS AND MAKING DECISIONS• set up a small office in Ed’s garage with
telephone and a personal computer • marketing consists of flyers and advertisements • Julian would distribute business cards • Amanda purchased a small software package • Mary handled all transactions and gardeners
feedback• after a week of pilot testing ,and evaluating
results they decided to:– add new type of service: a single-job contract – add free confirmation call the day before scheduled
work
Gardeners+: Business Systems and Information
Gardeners+: Business Systems and Information
GENERATING BUSINESS INFORMATION flyers ads in newspapers and magazines business cards adjustments to software configuration business suite’s word processing program to
create ads, basic forms, and business stationery spreadsheets – keep track of sales, revenues,
expenses, taxes, and profit
Gardeners+: Business Systems and InformationMANAGING DATA contract and subscription systems were
functioning well spreadsheet was sufficient for their needsPROBLEM: data transcription was starting to take a toll
which leads to falling behind of schedule on their paperwork
GATHERING USEFUL INFORMATION FROM CUSTOMERS they went back to initial business models and fed them
with real historical rather than projected data they revised the models to include the services they had
already added
Does Information Technology Matter?
Hackkett Group(a strategic advisory firm)answered YES world’s best performing companies
spent 7 % more per employee on information technology
today’s business professionals are expected to know how to develop and use IT significantly
regardless of major field of expertise, those who have the proper IT knowledge and skills stand a better chance of receiving more lucrative job offers and faster promotions
digital systems a system that uses two digits used to represent information that contains numbers or
quantities can also represent any information as combinations of
zeroes and ones
digital information consists of zeroes and ones representing two states stored and communicated by way of electromagnetic
signals (e.g. electricity , magnetism, light)Advantages of Digital System Capable of delivering data and information(e.g. quantities,
sound, pictures, videos) original information can be re-created with complete
accuracy storage, retrieval, processing, and communication of
digital information are extremely fast

The Purpose of Information Systems
Data, Information and Information SystemsDATA VS. INFORMATION
dataderived from the Latin datum, literally a given or
a fact which might take the form of a number, a statement or a picture
is the raw material in the production of information
information are facts or conclusions that have meaning
within a contextNOTES: Raw data is rarely meaningful or useful as information To become information, data is manipulated through
tabulation, statistical analysis, or any other operation
DATA MANIPULATIONGathering of data of the management of a car manufacturer from the customers
Demographic datao Gendero Ageo Annual income
Complaints about different performance areas
Features that satisfy buyers most Courtesy of the dealer’s personnel
Data, Information and Information Systems con’t
Data, Information and Information Systems con’tDATA MANIPULATION
Categorize complaints by topicTotal the number of complaints for
each type of dissatisfaction and each car model
Calculate the average age and income of current buyers
the company can now generate new information to improve marketing
GENERATING INFORMATIONRaw data-processed in an IS to create final useful informationProcess-manipulation of dataComputer-based IS’s-process data to produce information

For information to be used, it must be:
Relevant Complete Accurate Current Cost efficient

What is a System? an array of components that work
together to achieve a common goal, or multiple goals by accepting input, processing it, and producing output in an organized manner
Systems and Subsystems Subsystems
components of a larger system – with subgoals, all contributing to meeting the main goal
can receive input from, and transfer output to, other systems or subsystems
CLOSED VS. OPEN SYSTEMS Closed system
a system that stands alone, with no connection to another system: nothing flows in from another system, nothing flows out to another system
Example: a small check-producing system – prints and cuts checks when an employee enters data through a keyboard
Open System a system that interfaces and interacts with other
systemsExample: An accounting system that records accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cash flow is open if it receives its payroll figures from the payroll system
Data, Information and Information Systems con’t
Data, Information and Information Systems con’tINFORMATION SYSTEM (IS)
Consists of all the components that work together to process data and produce information
INFORMATION AND MANAGERS systems thinking
Viewing organization in terms of sub-organizations or subsystems
Creates a framework for problem solving and decision making.
Keeps managers focused on overall goals and operations of business.

THE BENEFITS OF HUMAN-COMPUTER SYNERGY
Synergy (from the Greek “work together”) combined resources produce output exceeding the sum
of the outputs of the same resources employed separately
Allows human thought to be translated into efficient processing of large amounts of data

THE FOUR STAGES OF PROCESSING
1. Input – entering data into the IS 2. Data Processing – changing and
manipulating the data in the IS3. Output – getting information out of
the IS4. Storage – storing data and
information
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS Input Devices
introduce data into the IS Processor(Computer)
processes data through the IS Output Devices
display Information Storage Devices
store data and information Networking Devices and Communication Lines
Transfer data and information over various distance

trends that night help organizations compete better
