IS 441: Components of PMIS

Components of PMIS To create a computer-based information system, 5 things must come together: Hardware: The term hardware refers to the machine. This category includes the computer itself, the commonly known as the central processing unit (CPU), and all of its supporting components. Supported devices include input and output devices, storage devices, and communication devices. Software: The term software refers to computers and (if any) the manuals that support them. A computer is a machine that can read instructions that manipulate circuits in the hardware part of a program to generate useful information from data. Program is usually stored on an input/output medium, usually disk or tape. Data: Data is the phenomenon that programs use to create important data. Programs and files are usually stored on the machine's disk or tape reader until needed by the computer. Procedures: Procedures are rules that govern the operation of computer systems. "Services are to people what software is to hardware" is a metaphor used to describe the role of services in a system. People: Every system needs people to work. The most common point of disagreement in the system is the people who are perhaps most relevant to the success or failure of the information system. A management information system (PMIS) is an integrated organization of information that an organization needs to complete a project. A PMIS is usually one or more software applications and processes for collecting and using project information. These electronic systems facilitate the planning, implementation and execution of project management objectives. PMIS systems differ in resources, design, and functionality, depending on the organization's policies. Information management that provides access to automation tools such as the processing of programming software tools, configuration management, data collection and distribution systems, or the web interface of other online automation systems used during execution . A specification designed to support processes and management decisions. Data and information are essential for evidence-based decision-making, whether it is research, policy development and investment, or accountability to government and the public. Government departments and agencies collect, create, store and use a great deal of information, some of which is acquired at significant cost over time. Data is used for many purposes. The way knowledge is created and managed must be based on its strategic importance. When reusing an existing asset file, users should evaluate its suitability for their purposes. An important factor in this decision is often good information. A good data report is a good way for to communicate how the data will be used. Data and information cannot be effectively and efficiently distributed unless managed as an asset throughout their life . These principles provide high-level guidance and are designed for long-term use. Specific guidance is available in the form of support policies, standards and guidelines. • Collect, create, store and retain information with sharing, collaboration and collaboration in mind. • Facilitate and encourage knowledge sharing. • Data sharing complies with security and legal requirements. • Employees seek to reuse and enhance existing data rather than rewrite or duplicate data . • Organizations use appropriate licenses to assist data reuse. • Disclosure to the public when appropriate
