...Management Information System for MFIs 1.0 Background A good Management Information System (MIS) is the heart of any organization and this is true for MFIs as well. For e.g. MFIs may have capable and motivated staff, but if they lack systematized information, they will be unable to perform up to their potential. A sound MIS is the key to achieve sustainability as it helps in providing the right type of information in achieving sustainability. It helps in reducing default, optimal rotation of portfolio, establishing sustainable interest rates, improving operational efficiency, generating reports at various levels for various stakeholders and review the progress. (Box 1). Common Shortcomings observed in the Information Management Practices: 1.) The basis formats are not comprehensive of them could be combined. 2) The flow and logistic aspects of transfer of information from Society to Federation to HQs and vice versa is not very efficient. 3) The reports produced by the MIS are not in line with the best practices information required. 4) There is no accurate aging analysis of all loans including the past due loans.

...Q1. Distinguish between information technology (IT) and information systems (IS)? List four organization functions that can be served by IS. * Information Technology deals with the scheming, designing and development of system software whereas Information Systems involves the study of the components and resources required to deliver information and information processing functions within an organization. * Information Technology focuses on the existing and upcoming technology, which helps in disseminating information whereas Information Systems concentrate more on how the system make use of the technology. * Information system is a computer system that provides management and other personnel within an organization with up-to-date information regarding the organization's performance; for example, current inventory, Human Resource Management (HRM), and sales. It usually is linked to a computer network, which is created by joining different computers together in order to share data and resources. It is designed to capture, transmit, store, retrieve, manipulate, and or display information used in one or more business processes. These systems output information in a form that is useable at all levels of the organization: strategic, tactical, and operational.

...System Adoption IT 205 May 08, 2014 In today’s organizations, there are many systems that are in place to not only help individuals perform their jobs, but also ensure the future growth of these systems. This paper will describe three of these systems; transaction processing systems, office information systems, and management information systems. Transaction processing systems, more commonly referred to as TPS, are information systems that capture and process data that has been generated during an organization’s day-to-day transactions. A transaction is a business activity such as a deposit, payment and order. Individuals in the clerical department perform activities associated with TPS, including recording business activity such as an employee’s timecard, confirming the action such as generating employee paychecks, and maintaining data, which involves adding new data, changing existing data, or removing unwanted data. The factors that lead to the adoption of this system are batch processing and OLTP, or online transaction processing. Batch processing is transaction data that has been collected over a period of time and all transactions are processed later as a group, such as calculating paychecks. With OLTP, computers process transactions as they are entered (Shelly, 1999). The second information system is OIS, or office information system. OIS is an information system that uses hardware, software and networks to enhance the work flow and to also facilitate the communication...
