* Transaction Processing Systems (TPS): It is a type of information system. TPSs collect, store, modify, and retrieve the transactions of an organization. A transaction is an event that generates or modifies data that is eventually stored in an information system. To be considered a transaction processing system the computer must pass the ACID test. The essence of a transaction program is that it manages data that must be left in a consistent state (Wikipedia.com).

Seminole should apply this new IT infrastructure to business operation. Firstly, company can use the transaction processing systems (IPS) to keep track of all business activities and transaction of the organization such as payroll and employee record keeping. IPS also shows all information from internal and external operation. Secondly, Business intelligence systems are designed for decision-making support. Management information system (MIS) is a system that helps managers to keep track of company performance status, which purposed for decision-making and evaluation. Decision-support system (DSS) is purposed for future business decision-making.

This may comprise an “expert system or artificial intelligence”. (Rouse, 2010, para. 2)

MIS work close with TPS via a shared database that permits the flow of information to be gathered, interpreted, and compiled into a report. To illustrate an example, according to Ingram (n.d.), "a report viewed by a corporate manager for a restaurant chain may show revenue, expenses, labor-hours and volume of each outlet, allowing him to see which store makes the most money per employee on the floor and which stores have higher expenses". DSS elaborate on the functions of MIS by assisting managers with detailed analyses and recommendations. For example, a DSS can help resolve a manager's doubt on the optimal ordering of inventory for a retail outlet by showing the viable options based on the demand and shelf space available. Lastly, AI and ES are both information systems that digitally solve business problems by responding to queries and then selecting the best solution autonomously using inference. The primary difference between AI and ES is that the former uses software's algorithm to arrive at a solution while the latter accomplishes the same by referring to a collection of knowledge captured from human experts. For example, voice-capturing or remote troubleshooting applications are suitable examples of an AI and ES,

Decision Support Systems promote a learning culture in an organization. Employees and managers learn new concepts and more efficient ways of improving the organization, either as a byproduct of the application of DSS or from the direct implementation of DSS as training tools. This learning process is good for the company’s future decision making processes.
