Technology has revolutionized how organizations operate in several ways: 1. Information technology systems allow organizations to simplify transaction processing and enable customers, suppliers, and distributors to interact through communication technologies like the internet. 2. Decision support systems and data-driven systems help workers access and analyze internal and external information to facilitate decision making. 3. Communication technologies like email allow easy and fast communication within and outside the organization.

• Almost everything we now use has been innovated to better
standards.
a. Cellular Phones
b. Computers

II. Software
c. Other Appliances

10. Impact of Information
Technology in an
Organization

11. Impact of Information Technology in an
Organization
• Information technology systems are used by organizations to perform
various tasks. Some use IT to provide for the basic processing of
transactions, while others enable customers, distributors and
suppliers to interact with the organization through various
communication technology systems such as the internet.

12. Flow of Information
• Information is a key resource for all organizations. What information describes might be
internal, external, objective or subjective.
o Internal information describes the environment within the organization.
o External information describes the environment surrounding the organization.
o Objective information describes something that is known.
o Subjective information describes something that is currently unknown.
• With information technology the flow of these information is made simple with the use
of centralized data centers where all this data can be retrieved.

13. Transaction Processing
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• Information technology simplifies the transaction process of an organization.
• A transaction process system (TPS) is a system that processes transactions
that occur within an organization. At the heart of every organization are IT
systems whose main role is to capture transaction information, create new
information based on the transaction information.
• TPS will update any transaction process and store that information in a
database, so any concerned party in the organization can access that
information via a centralized information storage network of internet.

14. Decision Support
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• A Decision Support System (DSS) is a highly flexible and interactive IT
system that is designed to support decision making when the problem is
not structured.
• A DSS works together with an artificial intelligence system to help the
worker create information through Online Analytical Process (OLAP)
to facilitate decision making tasks that require significant effort and
analysis.

15. Decision Support
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• There are a number of Decision Support Systems. These can be
categorized into five types:
• Communication-driven DSS
• Data-driven DSS
• Document-driven DSS
• Knowledge-driven DSS
• Model-driven DSS

16. 16
Decision Support
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization

17. Communication-driven DSS
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• Most communications-driven DSSs are targeted at internal teams, including partners.
• Its purpose are to help conduct a meeting, or for users to collaborate. The most common
technology used to deploy the DSS is a web or client server.
• Examples: chats and instant messaging software, online collaboration and net-meeting
systems.
Decision
Support

18. Data-driven DSS
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• Most data-driven DSSs are targeted at managers, staff and also product/service
suppliers.
• It is used to query a database or data warehouse to seek specific answers for specific
purposes. It is deployed via a main frame system, client/server link, or via the web.
• Examples: computer-based databases that have a query system to check (including the
incorporation of data to add value to existing databases.)
Decision
Support

19. Document-driven DSS
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• Document-driven DSSs are more common, targeted at a broad base of user groups.
• The purpose of such a DSS is to search web pages and find documents on a specific
set of keywords or search terms. The usual technology used to set up such DSSs
are via the web or a client/server system. Examples:
Decision
Support

20. Knowledge-driven DSS
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• Knowledge-driven DSSs or 'knowledgebase' are they are known, are a catch-all category covering a
broad range of systems covering users within the organization setting it up, but may also include
others interacting with the organization
• For example, consumers of a business. It is essentially used to provide management advice or to
choose products/services. The typical deployment technology used to set up such systems could be
client/server systems, the web, or software running on stand-alone PCs.
Decision
Support

21. Model-driven DSS
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• Model-driven DSSs are complex systems that help analyze decisions or choose between
different options. These are used by managers and staff members of a business, or
people who interact with the organization, for a number of purposes depending on how
the model is set up - scheduling, decision analyses etc. These DSSs can be deployed via
software/hardware in stand-alone PCs, client/server systems, or the web.
Decision
Support

22. Workgroup Support
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• Since information technology facilitates in the creating an information sharing
environment, workers can easily consult each other across different department
without any interruption.
• They can use emails, text chatting services to inquire some thing related to a given task
at work. With workgroup support systems, group decision making becomes easier.
• Workgroup Support System is designed especially to improve the performance of teams
by supporting the sharing and flow of information.

23. Executive Support
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• An executive information system (EIS) is an interactive management information
system (MIS) combined with decision support systems and artificial intelligence for
helping managers identify and address problems and opportunities.
• Executive Support System (ESS) is a reporting tool (software) that allows you to turn
your organization's data into useful summarized reports. These reports are generally
used by executive level managers for quick access to reports coming from all company
levels and departments such as billing, cost accounting , staffing, scheduling, and more.

24. Data Management
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• With the help of database software, an organization stores all its relevant data on a
database. This infrastructure can be designed when it is internal or external.
• An internal centralized system can only be accessed with in the organization
• An external centralized system allows data to be accessed out side the organization
using a remote Internet Protocol (IP) Address or a domain name.

25. Communication
Impact of Information Technology in an Organization
• Information technology accounts in the development of communication technology.
Services like electronic mail make communication within and outside the organization
easy and fast.
• Nowadays email communication is a default communication technology used by every
organization. Communication is a great tool in business develops, with advanced
communication tools, employees and managers can easily make beneficial decisions in
the organization.

26. Through
Technology...

27. • Through technology, the way we do things have
become simpler, faster and more efficient. It has
broken grounds on productivity, communication,
medicine and especially education.
• However, some people have become so dependent on
devices and gadgetry that health and thinking have
been diminished; because of our constant reliance on
technology, we may have become lazier and stagnant.

28. • When it comes to education, students have become
increasingly dependent on modern tools and
methods—the internet, in particular; and this has led
to a uninspiring effort in their training and discipline
in class.
• Even social communication has become somewhat
reduced when children stay tend to stay isolated and
tinker with their devices instead of going out to
interact with their peers.
