Think of a business or organization that you admire, then describe two examples of how that business is supported by information systems. For example, do they use it for operational excellence ? Or do they use it to create new products and services ?


Nowadays, many businesses achieve their objective with information systems. Such as to achieving operational excellence, developing new products and services, attaining customer intimacy and service, improving decision making, promoting competitive advantage and ensuring survival.


Sample 1
RFID (radio frequency identification) is a sample of the information
systems. Hong Kong International Airport implements this system to identify the baggage tags for enhancing operational efficiency and customer service.
RFID tags combine an embedded RFID chip with a barcode so that be read more quickly, contain more d
ata and are more
reliable compare with barcode only tags. It requires the scanner to be in close proximity to the tag, RFID tags can be read from a distance and at an angle.
From this sample, we can see that the role of information system in a business is to improve bag tag read rate and BHS operational efficiency and capacity.


Sample 2
Savings international ltd, which I working for, is using SAP to be information system. This system allows us to act quickly with increased insight, efficiency, and flexibility. We can make invoice no matter for sale and purchases. We also can use it to print the reminder, statement, sales report, etc. All of our collage can search the information what they want by SAP at the same time!By using this system, I can check the stock anytime to handle the sale order easily. I will know immediately when there is out of stock. Moreover, we can identify to different account for holding stock in the system. It is very convenience to arrange the stock for every sale account.
