Document Summary

It also includes software, such as the programs used to do business, to manage the computer itself and to communicate between systems. The third component of is infrastructure is the network, which is the physical means by which information is exchanged among hardware components. Some communications are conducted through a private digital network, managed by an internal unit). Finally, the fourth part of the infrastructure is the data. The data include the bits and bytes stored in the system. In current systems, data are not necessarily stored alongside the programs that use them; hence, it is important to understand what data are in the system and where they are stored. Many more detailed models of is infrastructure exist, and interested readers may refer to any of the dozens of books that describe them. For the purposes of this text, the is strategy matrix provides sufficient information to allow the general manager to assess the critical issues in information management.
