An organization can improve its decision-making through a management information system (MIS), by leveraging data on different organizational assets. These assets vary from financials to inventory, personnel, project timelines, marketing, etc. In a nutshell, an MIS gathers and saves data, and makes it available for managers and other concerned personnel. The end-user can analyze data by running different reports. If correctly deployed, MIS becomes the cornerstone of an organization’s operations. Conventionally MIS has only been considered for large organizations running big data operations, but recently the trend has changed. MIS is now being used in all kinds of setups, from large multinationals to small non-profit organizations, even to a doctor running his clinic’s appointment and keeping the patient’s record through MIS. MIS is now becoming an integral part of all kinds and sizes of businesses.
