Transaction processing systems (TPS)

This is week (4) and in this week, we went to the library during class our and we were supposed to find some information about information system by group. Three students in one group and we could not use internet, we just supposed to use library books. My group’s topic is about TPS (transaction processing system). So, after little attempt we found some information about TPS that is a type of information system. It monitors, collect, store and process data generated from all business transactions of organization. TPS keep on organization running smoothly by automating the processing of the large amount of paper work that must be handled daily. This system include the accurate recording of management information system, the transaction processing system of an organization extending out of the organization linking together the entire financial system, factory, customers and suppliers. Then, we were supposed to submit and discuss with our lecturer what we had found. So, we discussed about our topic (TPS) how we understand this type of information system (TPS) and she provided more information and corrected some of our misunderstanding.I will explain about every information systems in next post.

Thank you so much. Have a nice day.

Information management Presentation

As I have already mentioned at the first post of this blog, we got one presentation about information management, problems related with it and solutions. We had to make this presentation by group, four students in one group. So I tried to find information for this topic with my group members. We went online, library and searched everything about this topic. Finally we got it and we could make power-point presentation for this topic. During class day, our group was the first group to present about information management. After our presenting finished, our lecturer asked one question that is “what is information system? Information management and information system are the same or not?”. Unfortunately, we couldn’t answer it but one female student answered that question for us. Anyway, we satisfied on that because we did, I think, very well. And we got a lot of knowledge about that topic from lecturer’s information and group job. I think that our presentation and all students’ presentation on that topic came from almost the same source because during presentation period I noticed that all students’ information about that are almost the same. Now I want to mention some information about that topic. Information management is the collection and management of information from one or more sources and the distribution of that information to one or more audiences. There are two parts on this, information and management. The actual information is a collection of data elements that are obtained by running query and report programs against a particular database or group of databases. Management means the control over the structure, processing and delivery of information. So the focus of information management is the ability to capture, manage, preserve, store and deliver the right information to the right people at the right time. That’s all for week two class.
Thank you for continuous reading on this post.

Getting start again

Hello, how are you?

We have already started our second trimester after two weeks holidays gone. Today I am going to talk about my first week IT class and what I have learned in that class. First of all, we were introduced the course outline, assessment, time table, lecturer’s information of IT subject and house rules. After that we studied about the difference between data and information, the economics and problems associated with information management. First, our lecturer explained us what is database, data and how it is used. Data is raw material and it's necessary for any outcome in IT field. Data are grouped and become information. Consequently, that information is contextualized and it's formed into knowledge that we are applying nowadays. So I know that data is raw facts means that it is an incomplete thing. When we collect the data, they will be information means that they are complete things. There's clearer format how data and information is working together. Observations and recordings are done to obtain data, while analysis is done to obtain information. Then, she explained about the economics of information. It's complicated and I needed to focus much. As a summary, Data can be processed to create useful information. Information is the manipulated and processed form of data. And we got the topic of information management to make presentation for next week class.
