Information systems are combinations of hardware, software, and networks that organizations use to collect, create, and distribute useful data. They govern how data is collected, entered, processed, stored, and reported in a way that helps an organization achieve its goals. Information systems support daily transactions, operations, managerial activities, and provide external reports. They receive input data, process it according to instructions, and release results. Examples of general information systems include database management systems and electronic spreadsheets.

2. According to Rommey (1997: 16), Information systems that govern how to collect, enter,
process, and store data and how to manage to store, manage, control and report information in
a way that finds an organization can achieve its stated goals.
According to Leitch Rosses (in Jugiyanto, 2005: 11), Information system is a system

operations, is managerial and strategic activities of an organization and provides certain
external parties with the necessary reports
According to Gordon B. Davis (1991: 91), Information system is a system that receives
input or input data and instructions, processes data according to instructions and releases the

3. Information systems are combinations of hardware, software, and telecommunications
networks that people build and use to collect, create, and distribute useful data, typically in
organizational settings. (Bogour, 2014). There are some general types of information
systems. For example, a database management system (DBMS) is a combnination of software
and data that makes it possible to organize and analyse data. DBMS software is typically not
designed to work a specific organization or a specific type of analysis. Rather, it is a general-
purpose information system. Another example is an electronic spreadsheet. This is a tool for
basic data analysis based on formulas that define relationships among the data. For example,
you can use a spreadsheet to calculate averages for a set of values or to plot the trend of a
value over time. (Zandbergen, 2002)
