What is information systems?
Information systems (IS) is a combination of people, hardware, software, communication devices, and network resources that process data and information. It is the fundamental infrastructure of modern business. Information systems managers plan, coordinate, direct research and facilitate the computer-related activities of a business.
Careers in this field include business application development and support, database administration, and information technology management.
