TPS stands for Transaction Processing System which collects, stores, modifies and retrieves data about business transactions like sales, purchases, and payments. The objectives of a TPS are to accurately process transaction data, maintain data integrity, produce timely documents and reports, and increase efficiency. MIS stands for Management Information System which studies people, technology, and their relationships within organizations. A MIS is a system that provides managers with processed data and information reports to aid in decision making. Characteristics of a good MIS include long term planning, providing a holistic view of the organization, being planned top-down so decision makers provide direction, and reporting exceptional situations.
