An MIS (management information system) collects, processes, and disseminates data and information to support management decision-making and operations in an organization. The purpose of an MIS is to provide relevant information to managers and departments in a timely manner through integrated systems of people, procedures, software, and data. An MIS must be able to handle large volumes of data, perform complex operations on the data, and facilitate quick search and retrieval of information from mass storage.
