Management information systems (MIS) provide organizations with information to manage efficiently and effectively. There are major departments that require well-developed MIS, such as human resources, product management, sales, advertising, IT, and administration. MIS involve people, technology, and information. When developing an MIS, organizations must identify current systems and applications, evaluate evolution criteria, prioritize applications, and determine the optimal system architecture. Common methodologies for developing MIS are Business Systems Planning, Critical Success Factors, and End/Means analysis.
