Companies may have to deal with a high volume of transactional data, “capturing trillions of bytes of information about their customers and operations” (Vitari and Raguseo, p. 76) (Taylor). “Millions of sensors are embedded in the physical world in devices such as mobile phones, smart energy meters, automobiles, and industrial machines that sense, create and communicate data in the digitalized age”. (Vitari and Raguseo, p. 78) (Taylor). DDG further explained: When a process is “digitalized (e.g., a purchasing of a good on the Internet), it is carried out through a digital computer or device. When an entity is digitalized (e.g., an RFID-enabled good track), the company has the ability to access an informational representation of that entity (e.g., the position of a good along the supply chain), and generate relevant data from it” (Vitari and Raguseo, p. 84) (Taylor). .

Data is a valuable corporate resource; it has real, measurable value. The purpose of data is to aid evidence-based decision-making. Accurate, timely data is critical to accurate, timely decisions.

Information technology is advancing at a phenomenal rate each day and this has resulted in the growing availability of information to enterprises, employees and their customers. Enterprises employ IT rules in order to regulate this flow of information and these can sometimes negatively affect employee productivity as well as customer retention. A good CIO needs to set productive rules that promote strategically aligned, individual employee decision-making and creativity through a process of natural selection (Stenzel, 2011, Chapter 1) and boost customer retention. The CIO needs to balance playful innovation (Stenzel, 2011, Chapter 1) and creativity with rules, systems and processes and formal discipline (Stenzel, 2011, Chapter 1).This is what Stephens means by “Freedom with Fences” (Stenzel, 2011, Chapter 1).As Roger Martin says, reality is a construct of inferences and interpretations that we misinterpret as reality (Martin, 2009) and “reality” is the enemy of innovation. Creativity and innovation also play an important part in defining the future.

The first process we will conduct a variance analysis on would be the process to conduct an intranet Wiki search. The steps of the WIKI search that could be replaced would be step number three- “3. Person taps CTL F to open a find box.” Since, with the database “cleaned” and replaced with new step three- “3. Person selects the filter drop down to filter through the results by product line” will only show the search results of the correct product line. Through this process there will be a link to the data management system (DMS) that would correctly filter data that will be included in the new step number 3. Steps 4 & 5 would not be needed in since the search results would be considerably more relevant with the DMS analysis working, thus eliminating the variance where the search results in hundreds of results from all product groups. Also, making the selection process quicker.

It is a term that generally covers the harnessing of electronic technology for the information needs of a business at all levels.

In recent decades, investment in IT by commercial banks has served to streamline operations, improve competitiveness, and increase the variety and quality of services provided.
There are very many types of information systems. Classification of information systems follows the organizational levels in which they are used or installed for use. For instance, there are management information systems; some of which will be covered in this project report. Management information systems (MIS), helps businesses meet their business objectives.
