- 3. Introduction Before we discuss about the topic we must clear about some definition. Because without any knowledge of Management information system or Information technology we cannot get a valuable conclusion. So first we discuss about- what is MIS, it’s structure etc. and secondly we discuss about the Information technology, after that we get the conclusion that “how MIS and IT is dependable to each other’
- 4. What is Management Information system(MIS)? Information is the basis for every decision taken in an organization. The efficiency of management depends upon the availability of regular and relevant information. Thus it is essential that an effective and efficient reporting system be developed as part of accounting system. The main object of management information is to obtain the required about the operating results of an organization regularly in order to use them for future planning and control. The old techniques like intuition, rule of thumb, personal whim and prestige, etc. are now considered useless in the process of decision taking. Modern management is constantly on look out for such quantitative and such information, which can help in analyzing the proposed alternative actions and choosing one as its decision. Thus, modern management functions are information-oriented more popularly known as “management by information”. And the system through which information is communicated to the management is known as “management information system (MIS)” . The management needs full information before taking any decision. good decisions can minimize costs and optimize results. Management information system can be helpful to the management in undertaking management decisions smoothly and effectively.
- 5. Management information system can be analyzed thus: Management: management covers the planning, control, and administration of the operations of a concern. The top management handles planning; the middle management concentrates on controlling; and the lower management is concerned with actual administration. Information: information, in MIS, means the processed data that helps the management in planning, controlling and operations. Data means all the facts arising out of the operations of the concern. Data is processed i.e. recorded, summarized, compared and finally presented to the management in the form of MIS report. System: data is processed into information with the help of a system. a system is made up of inputs, processing, output and feedback or control. Thus MIS means a system for processing data in order to give proper information to the management for performing its functions.
- 7. MIS structure is given in the form of paramedic.
- 8. What Is Information Technology (IT)? Information technology (also referred to as IT) is the application of computers and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data, often in the context of a business or other enterprise. The term is commonly used as a synonym for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information distribution technologies such as television and telephones. Several industries are associated with information technology, such as computer hardware , software, electronics, semiconductor, internet, telecom equipment, e-commerce and computer services
- 9. In the business context, the Information Technology Association of America has defined information technology (IT) as "the study, design, development, application, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems". The business value of information technology is to automate business processes, provide information for decision making, connect business with their customers, and provide productivity tools to increase efficiency. In an academic context, the Association for Computing Machinery defines it as "undergraduate degree programs that prepare students to meet the computer technology needs of business, government, healthcare, schools, and other kinds of organizations .... IT specialists assume responsibility for selecting hardware and software products appropriate for an organization, integrating those products with organizational needs and infrastructure, and installing, customizing, and maintaining those applications for the organization’s computer users. Examples of these responsibilities include the installation of networks; network administration and security; the design of web pages; the development of multimedia resources; the installation of communication components; the oversight of email systems; and the planning and management of the technology lifecycle by which an organization’s technology is maintained, upgraded, and replaced."

- 11. How can we say that IT and MIS is dependent to each other ? MIs and IT has their own working field. And both can work as an individual in their own sector. But somehow both are dependent on each other. MIS is basically known as study of people, technology and organization. MIS Systems needs to record all the data about an organization, like how many employees are working in the organization, record of all the transaction whatever done by the organization and many more. MIS system is like a heart of an organization. Because without management information system we cannot measure the risk of an organization, or we can justify what to do in future to improve the present condition of the organization. IT helps the MIS in many way, in earlier days when we don’t have computer then it’s not easy for the manager to kept the data, because there are so many risk to kept data in paper, like it may be destroy the paper in fire, or sometime it may be lost or theft by someone. But IT sector create a great revolution in this field. Because of computers or other equipment of IT nowadays we can save and storage our information speedily, and risk is also low to destroy the information. Also the other equipment of IT like internet, mobile, helps the manager to collecting the data speedily. So because of IT, management information system can run in a smooth way.
- 12. On the other hand MIs also helps IT sector to work in a proper way. Suppose we take the example of internet. Now days we can see lots of online shopping website in internet. These websites cannot be a successful one without the help of MIS. Because MIS is helps them in ways like MIS told them about the competitor, and also point out what are factor which can make them better. Suppose one websites dealing with mobile phone, so MIS can provide them the information about how they presented their product in their website to attract the customer and also helps them to know that which product can give them better profit. So we can say that MIS and IT both has their own independent area, but both are dependent on each other.
- 13. Conclusion From the whole discussion now we can say that MIS and IT independent in their purpose, but both are dependent on each other. Nowadays Information technology and Management information system both are important aspect for an organization.
