How does a management information system work?

Answer 1

It is very important to effectively collect, process, and use information to carry out the tasks of; deciding what to stock in your shops, also producing receipts for purchased items, and to calculate pay for hourly paid employees. This is generally dealt with using a form or management information system. Management information systems (MIS) are a combination of hardware and software used to process information automatically. Commonly, MIS are used within organizations to allow many individuals to access and modify information. In most situations, the management information system mainly operates Behind the Scenes, and the user community is rarely involved or even aware of the processes that are handled by the system.

It's not really a matter of what Management Info Systems do. It's more a position of a person than it is a specific computer program. In general terms Management info Systems is about monitoring and managing databases and maintaining all the programs used in said databases. They're more of a monitoring and repair person for database management programs.
