Information Systems (IS) is an
academic/
professional discipline bridging the
business field and the well-defined
computer science field that is evolving toward a new scientific area of study.
[4][5][6][7] An information systems discipline therefore is supported by the theoretical foundations of
information and
computations such that learned scholars have unique opportunities to explore the academics of various business models as well as related
algorithmicprocesses within a computer science discipline.
[8][9][10] Typically, information systems or the more common
legacy information systems include people, procedures,
data, software, and hardware (by degree) that are used to gather and analyze
digital information.
[11][12] Specifically
computer-based information systems are complementary networks of hardware/software that people and organizations use to collect, filter, process, create, & distribute
data (computing).
[13] Computer Information System(s) (CIS) is often a track within the computer science field studying computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their software & hardware designs, their applications, and their impact on society.
[14][15][16] Overall, an IS discipline emphasizes functionality over design.
[17] As illustrated by the Venn Diagram on the right, the history of
information systems coincides with the
history of computer science that began long before the modern discipline of computer science emerged in the twentieth century.
[18] Regarding the circulation of information and ideas, numerous legacy information systems still exist today that are continuously updated to promote ethnographic approaches, to ensure
data integrity, and to improve the social effectiveness & efficiency of the whole process.
[19] In general, information systems are focused upon processing information within organizations, especially within business enterprises, and sharing the benefits with modern society.
