...Management Information System (MIS) is the heart of any organization and this is true for MFIs as well. For e.g. MFIs may have capable and motivated staff, but if they lack systematized information, they will be unable to perform up to their potential. A sound MIS is the key to achieve sustainability as it helps in providing the right type of information in achieving sustainability. It helps in reducing default, optimal rotation of portfolio, establishing sustainable interest rates, improving operational efficiency, generating reports at various levels for various stakeholders and review the progress. (Box 1). Common Shortcomings observed in the Information Management Practices: 1.) The basis formats are not comprehensive of them could be combined. 2) The flow and logistic aspects of transfer of information from Society to Federation to HQs and vice versa is not very efficient. 3) The reports produced by the MIS are not in line with the best practices information required. 4) There is no accurate aging analysis of all loans including the past due loans. At best, the aging analysis is approximate and there is no proper asset classification backed up by provisioning. 5) Clients are not classified as good, delinquent and defaulting borrowers based on (international best practices) criteria. 6) Credit history of the borrowers is not available. 7) Clear repayment schedules for borrowers at various levels do not exist. 8) Concise monitoring reports, tailored to the monitoring needs...

...Organization Proposal (POP) that can be implemented without adding additional resources to the MIS or IT divisions. It simply suggests the effective use of existing resources. However, as would be expected, the POP will only succeed if it receives support from 1) business MIS Management, 2) IT Management, 3) and their respective staff. The collaboration of all resources associated with a project is critical to its success. Clearly defining roles and accountabilities must be established prior to project initiation. Also included in this paper is a Project Leadership Plan guide. This guide will serve as a critical planning document, or checklist, that can be used to ensure that any project meets with success. If this guide cannot be completed, the project should not be initiated. 1 SAS Global Forum 2007 Planning, Development and Support INTRODUCTION In my 20+ years of experience using SAS and organizing projects, the success or failure of any project, no matter how small or large, generally resulted from how well a project was planned, organized and executed.

Every individual in an organization is continuously looking for some information which is needed to perform his/her task. Hence, the information is people-oriented and it varies with the nature of the people in the organizationwhich is outlined in this courses.

MIS is necessity of all the organizations. The initial concept of MIS was to process data from the organization and present it in the form of reports as regular intervals. The system was largely capable of handling the data from collection to processing. It was more impersonal, requiring each individual to pick and choose the processed data and use it for his requirements. This concept was further modified when a distinction was made between data and information. The information is a product of an analysis of data. This concept is similar to a raw material and the finished product. What is needed is information and not a mass of data. However, the data can be analyzed in a...

Rob suggested Fran to attend the workshop. Unfortunately her boss was away on two weeks leave at the time but Rob said he would talk with Peter. Fran enjoyed the workshop. She even wrote a detailed report on the workshop for the Chief Accountant. On her return to Hamilton however she found all was far from well. Fran’s boss Peter was furious on Fran for going to the workshop without any prior intimation to him. He also attacked her verbally. The Chief Accountant on listening to her complaint advised her for a transfer, as he did not feel there was much work for Fran with the MIS although he assured her of raising this issue at the company meeting. Fran was asked to submit a written report of the entire happenings. One afternoon Peter called on his staff to talk about the revision of “Big Brother”...

...Insurance Specialists (MIS) divided into two teams. The outsourced company has 100 employees called Billing Specialists who perform the initial billing work and data entries. The issue is mainly on the onsite center where the recent reshuffle of the team members and combining of MIS (15 members) and SIC (5 members) on each team headed by Dana and Alex as the managers. Jim is the senior director whom the managers report to. The case revolves around the situation where Jim wants to redesign the teams because the second team structure does not seem to be productive and efficient. Jim, thus, appoints Dave, an OD consultant over a meeting to discuss about the possible bottlenecks and solutions to enable them create a productive and efficient team. The problems that exist in the organization are internal problems which arise from conflicts between team members and teams, ego issues, insecurity, poor leadership and lack of mutual cooperation and interaction. Due to this, there is inefficiency in productivity causing delay in job completion and ultimately poor customer satisfaction. The delay is caused by the ego issues that the team members have with the senior team instead of trying to work together and complete them on time. Basing on the teams’ roles, the SIC team feels that since they have been there and done it all because of their tenure and experience in the organization as well as the various processes aligned to it. After being shuffled along with the MIS team members, they feel...

...------------------------------------------------- Traditional Information Systems Transaction processing system (TPS) Transaction processing was one of the first business processes to be computerized, thereby producing a system known as the TPS. The TPS serves as a foundation for the other information systems that may be present in an organisation (discussed later.) TPSs perform routine operations or transactions; e.g. customer orders, purchase orders, receipts, etc. The amount of support for decision making that TPSs directly provide managers and workers is low. These systems require a large amount of input data and produce a large amount of output without requiring sophisticated or complex processing. The TPS may be based on the functional structure of the organisation and may comprise, for example, order entry, inventory control, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, etc. The input data are the basic business transactions mentioned earlier (e.g. customer orders, purchase orders, receipts, time cards, invoices, and payroll checks. The two basic types of TPSs based on the processing type are batch processing system whereby business transactions are kept over a period of time and prepared for processing as a single unit or batch. The essential characteristic of a batch processing system is that there is some time lag between the moment the transaction occurs and the time it is processed and the organisation’s record updated.

...Abstract: The paper presents an attempt for analysis of the theory in the sphere of the Management Information System (MIS). The information needs of the various managerial levels are pointed out and the stages in the development of MIS are defined. The growing importance of the application of MIS in tailoring industry is shown. Key words: Information Technology (IT), Management Information System (MIS), tailoring industry INTRODUCTION We are living in a time of great change and working in an Information Age. Managers have to assimilate masses of data, convert that data into information, form conclusions about that information and make decisions leading to the achievement of business objectives. For an organization, information is as important resource as money, machinery and manpower. It is essential for the survival of the enterprise. Before the widespread use of computers, many organizations found difficulties in gathering, storing, organising and distributing large amounts of data and information. Developments in computer technology made possible for managers to select the information they require, in the form best suited for their needs and in time they want. This information must be current and in many cases is needed by many people at the same time. So it have to be accurate, concise, timely, complete, well presented and storable. Most firms nowadays depend on IT. But personal computers (PCs) themselves will not improve organizational productivity: this...

...Q E MIS Uarterly xecutive Key Issues for IT Executives 2012: Doing More with Less This is the seventh in a series of MISQE-published reports based on an annual SIM membership survey. With the enduring economic uncertainties prevailing, these U.S.based organizations are now focusing not only on leveraging IT to reduce business and IT expenses, but also to generate revenues from IT innovations. While IT budgets for hiring, and salary increases are on the rise, these increases are less than last year’s when organizations were more optimistic that the economic conundrum was ending. There is also greater attention to reducing IT budgets through IT infrastructure spending (especially Cloud) and sourcing (especially offshore). Jerry Luftman Global Institute for IT Management (U.S.) Barry Derksen Business & IT Trends Institute (The Netherlands), University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands) Since 1980, the Society for Information Management (SIM), in a joint effort with different research leaders, has conducted an annual survey of the key issues facing IT executives globally and in the United States in particular. One of the important strengths of this research is in its ability to identify important trends by comparing survey data from previous years. The 2012 SIM survey, conducted in the 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2012, once again focused on three important areas: Key IT Issues Included in the Survey 1. Management concerns This year’s participants were asked to provide their...
