The only advantage is if you find the software useful and trouble free. And that goes for shareware also. Note: there are a lot of freeware programs that are better than their shareware counterparts.

Information Systems is the formal title for a data processing, MIS, or IS department. Other titles are Data Processing, Information Processing, Information Services, Management Information Systems, Management Information Services and Information Technology.\n\nManagement Information Systems (MIS) are Information Systems, typically computer-based, that are used within an organization. WordNet describes an information system as "a system consisting of the network of all communication channels used within an organization". A management information system may also be defined as "a system that collects and processes data (information) and provides it to managers at all levels who use it for decision making, planning, program implementation, and control." An information system is comprised of all the components that collect, manipulate, and disseminate data or information. It usually includes hardware, software, people, communications systems such as telephone lines, and the data itself. The activities involved include inputting data, processing of data into information, storage of data and information, and the production of outputs such as management reports.\n\nAs an area of study it is commonly referred to as information technology management. The study of information systems is usually a commerce and business administration discipline, and frequently involves software engineering, but also distinguishes itself by concentrating on the integration of computer systems with the aims of the organization. The area of study should not be confused with Computer Science which is more theoretical and mathematical in nature or with Computer Engineering which is more engineering.\n\nIn business, information systems support business processes and operations, decision-making, and competitive strategies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_information_systems\n\nDid a search on Google and couldn't find any useful on CIS just courses\n\n"The CIS program stresses management and business legacy systems (mainframes, COBOL, RPG, and so on) plus application development for Windows environments (Visual C++ and Visual Basic, spreadsheets, etc.), primarily for large management information systems and database systems (including accounting, inventory, payroll, personnel, and sales)."

Being a Web Content Specialist for a major catalog/on-line I feel I can probably answer this question for you. I'll start out by listing the major benefits of ISM.\n1. HUGE Demand for IT professionals in the workforce today.\n2. Well paid positions are easy to come by.\n3. Education/Training is not long or terrbily difficult\n4. Job field where more certifications = more $$$\n5. The previously mentioned certs are not hard to obtain\nTo give you a little background of what I do at my daily job. I montior on-line inventory via a content managment system and remove products from the website that fail a "CNS" report (% of inventory left). I make daily changes to the website updating products and informative pages. I run promo's that involve modifying products via the content management system. In short, I maintain the daily website activities. \nNow ISM is a very broad category, I could just as easily go and work with the database only managing product sales, or I could go and create reports on product sales via webwhacks or I could go and manage a team like the one i work for just overseeing deadlines and production dates (If i had more seniority). The category is very broad and there's a lot to do.\nThe Downside: I do essentially the same thing everyday. There's really no variety in my job and a lot of it is just busy work, not much creative going on here. Also, I am at the mercy of waiting for the graphics and copywrite departments. This last one may not affect you depending on where you decide to go but essentially I have to be ready to drop everything and work on something they give me for an update becuase it doesn't come along very often. This can also work the in the oppsoite manner, I often find myself playing "hurry up and wait" and spending my time on places like Yahoo Answers. \nThats about it for my job in a nutshell. Hope it answered any questions you had on what the field does. Good luck with your career choices.

The major advantages are that there an unlimited number of members allowed, there is generally no personal liability of the members, the entity is not taxed (profits and losses are passed through to the members), ease in filing with the states, and it is generally run through a Manager, rather than a board of directors (great for small companies or one that you wish to be similar to a closely-held corporation)

That's a good question.  I am an applied information technology student and have friends who are studying Management information systems.  I think that Information systems refers to the solutions already put in place to make work easier and improve efficiency.  For instance an MIS major isn't expected to re-invent the wheel when they join an IT department.  On the other hand information technology teaches you about computing from a practical and vantage point of view.  You see the problems and suggest solutions.  Solutions that you will implement and someone with a background in information systems will take over and work on daily.  For instance, a bus company like greyhound writes tickets by hand.  the information technology guy says no we should use a database, he designs and implements it and then an information system worker comes in to maintain and do the daily activities the database needs to function.\n\nI hope this answers your question.

For one, measuring availability.  How does your business value their availability of e-mail, applications, data, communications, etc?  A great IT team can prove it.\n\nRead more about it from a Microsoft strategy called MOF.

Knowledge management presents many benefits for an organization.  A few of the benefits of a KMS are listed below.\n\nMore efficient question/problem handling \nGreater access to knowledge \nReduced training time \nBetter maintenance of organizational knowledge \nIncreased customer service levels \nReduced resource requirements \nA Knowledge Management System provides users greater access to knowledge.  Just as important is the user's ability to capture and share knowledge of their own.  This leads to more efficient resolution of problems or questions, reduced training time for new employees, and better maintenance of organizational knowledge. All of which help increase customer service levels and reduce the need for additional resources to manage the growing support demands that face most organizations.

Mostly by enabling organization to keep up with the competition. Rarely these days does a IT system give a organization a competitive advantage, but the lack of a decent IT system can be a severe disadvantage. Example: there was a time when a company having an inventory tracking system enabled them to make JIT (just in time) deliveries much more accurately than their competition. Now without the ability, they will be eliminated by the customer as a vendor.\nSo to clarify, IT systems don't bring in income, but enable a company to do so.
