BLOG4: As we make use of Information Systems in a company's operation, we get to notice the good effects of this computer-based information, and so, we also wonder, if certain manual operations can also be computerized for a much convenient procedure both for employees and the client.Thus, if you are currently working, can you cite one manual working procedure that you wish to propose a computerized information system. Further, describe how this system should function and how can this help the employees and the customers.If you are just a student of RMMC and not currently working, cite a manual procedure here in our school which you prefer to computerize. Describe how this system should function and how can this help the employees and the students of RMMC.
-I prefer, that our library use computerize system instead of manual system. It helps the student or the users of the library to easily find the books and the references that they are looking. Some students dont know how to used the card catalogs. By computerize system, we just easily find the books that we need. No need to use card catalogs.

BLOG 1: MIS

Management Information Systems (MIS), sometimes referred to as Information Management and Systems, is the discipline covering the application of people, technologies, and procedures — collectively called information systems — used by management accountants to solving business problems such as costing a product, service or a business-wide strategy. Management Information Systems are distinct from regular information systems in that they are used to analyze other information systems applied in operational activities in the organization.[1] Academically, the term is commonly used to refer to the group of information management methods tied to the automation or support of human decision making, e.g. Decision Support Systems, Expert systems, and Executive information systems.
