Course Presentation:
The information system (IS) can be defined as an organized set of resources (hardware, software, personnel, data, procedures, etc.) that allows for the acquisition, storage, processing, and communication of information in various forms within an organization.
First and foremost, there are individuals: these are all the people who use the system, whether they are regular employees or managers. There are also physical resources: these include all the physical devices used to receive, manipulate, and transmit information, as well as the media for that information, whether they are paper, magnetic, optical, or electronic.
Next, there are software and procedures: software refers to all the programs necessary for the operation of the information system (when it is computerized, of course). Finally, there are the data, which serve as the raw material for processing. Data can either be entered, in which case they correspond to new events for the information system, or calculated, serving as processing results.
