Document Summary

What is an information system? (is: a group of components that interact to produce information. All information systems use algorithms and databases to predict customer behaviors, through a five-component framework: These 5 components are often linked together through networks that leverage the power of connectivity to tie software, hardware and data together to make information more accessible and powerful. Hardware refers to the electronic components associated gadgetry that constitute a computer system. Software used to refer only to programs or applications that run or operate on computer systems. Data are the basic building blocks of information such as facts and observations. Procedures instructions or processes that you follow to achieve your desired objective, these can be formal and documented. People actors who want to achieve a particular outcome by interacting with the system. The hardware is the physical devices that are used to access the system (computers).
