TABLE OF CONTENTS Overview History An Overview of Cmc Ltd Significant events in history Management information system Cmc world wide Industry practices Overview At the start, in businesses and other organizations, internal reporting was made manually and only periodically, and gave limited and delayed information on management performance. Previously, data had to be separated individually by the people as per the requirement and necessity of the organization. Later, data and information was distinguished and instead of the collection of mass of data, important and to the point data that is needed by the organization and was stored. Definition An 'MIS' is a planned system of the collecting, processing, storing and disseminating data in the form of information needed to carry out the functions of management. In a way it is a documented report of the activities those were planned and executed. “MIS” management information systems, the terms systems, information, and management must briefly be defined. A system is a combination or arrangement of parts to form an integrated whole. A system includes an orderly arrangement according to some common principles or rules. A system is a plan or method of doing something. Information is what is used in the act of informing or the state of being informed. Information includes knowledge acquired by some means Management is a process that is used to accomplish organizational goals; that is, a process that is used to achieve what an organization wants to achieve. An organization could be a business, a school, a city, a group of volunteers, or any governmental entity The four key functions of management are applied throughout an organization Planning; setting organizational goals. Organizing refers to the way the organization allocates resources, assigns tasks, and goes about accomplishing its goals.
- 3. Directing It is supervising, or leading workers to accomplish the goals of the organization Controlling involves the evaluation activities that managers must perform. Management information systems are those systems that allow managers to make decisions for the successful operation of businesses. Management information systems consist of computer resources, people, and procedures used in the modern business enterprise. Management Levels and Functions Top-level management · Require an extensive knowledge of management roles and skills. · They have to be very aware of external factors such as markets. · Their decisions are generally of a long-term nature · Their decisions are made using analytic, directive, conceptual and/or behavioral/participative processes · They are responsible for strategic decisions. · They have to chalk out the plan and see that plan may be effective in the future. · They are executive in nature. Middle management · Mid-level managers have a specialized understanding of certain managerial tasks. · They are responsible for carrying out the decisions made by top-level management. Lower management · This level of management ensures that the decisions and plans taken by the other two are carried out. · Lower-level managers' decisions are generally short-term ones. Foreman / lead hand · They are people who have direct supervision over the working force in office factory, sales field or other workgroup or areas of activity. “MIS” Implementation MIS development requires four stages when developing a system for any phase of the organization: Phase I is systems planning. The systems team must investigate the initial problem by determining what the problem is and developing a feasibility study for management to review. Phase II identifies the requirements for the systems. It includes the systems analysis, the user requirements, necessary hardware and software, and a conceptional design for the system. Top management then reviews the systems analysis and design. Phase III involves the development of the systems. This involves developing technical support and technical specifications, reviewing users' procedures control, designing the system, testing the system, and providing user training for the system. At this time, management again reviews and decides on whether to implement the system.
- 4. Phase IV is the implementation of the system. The new system is converted from the old system, and the new system is implemented and then refined. There must then be ongoing maintenance and reevaluation of the system to see if it continues to meet the needs of the business. Advantages of “MIS” · In Minimizes information overload: MIS change the larger amount of data in to summarize form and there by avoids the confusion which may arise when managers are flooded with detailed facts. · MIS Encourages Decentralization: Decentralization of authority is possibly when there is a system for monitoring operations at lower levels. MIS is successfully used for measuring performance and making necessary change in the organizational plans and procedures · It brings Co ordination: MIS facilities integration of specialized activities by keeping each department aware of the problem and requirements of other departments. It connects all decision centers in the organization · It makes control easier: MIS serves as a link between managerial planning and control. It improves the ability of management to evaluate and improve performance. The used computers has increased the data processing and storage capabilities and reduced the cost As it is indicated above MIS structure vary depending on the organization structure, vision and its objectives. 1. HISTORY CMC was incorporated on December 26, 1975, as the 'Computer Maintenance Corporation Private Limited'. The Government of India held 100 per cent of the equity share capital. On August 19, 1977, it was converted into a public limited company. In 1978, when IBM wound up its operations in India, CMC took over the maintenance of IBM installations at over 800 locations around India and, subsequently, maintenance of computers supplied by other foreign manufacturers as well. Taking over the activities of IBM in India, including many of its employees, helped the company to imbibe a service oriented culture. This is demonstrated by our long-standing customer associations and our ability to provide high-quality and reliable service. In 1980, we perceived the need for total IT system solutions in India, and acquired a 'solutions' orientation. We aligned our focus with the government's thrust on IT development activities. A significant milestone in our transition from a hardware maintenance company to a complete end-to-end IT solutions provider was 'Project Interact' (International Education and Research for Applications of Computer Technology), a UN project involving design, development and systems-engineering of real-time, computer- based systems dedicated to applications in the areas of power distribution, railway freight operations management, and meteorology. As we evolved along the value chain, CMC forayed into systems integration, interfacing, installation, commissioning, software development, as well as education and training, on a
- 5. national basis. Our R&D facility was set up in 1982, to undertake competency development in niche areas in the frontiers of technology, to provide us the cutting edge. Today, our R&D facility is housed in our Hyderabad campus, and develops advanced solutions in areas such as real-time systems, embedded systems and pervasive computing. To reflect our diversified business activities, we renamed ourselves 'CMC Limited', and obtained a fresh certificate of incorporation dated August 27, 1984. Following a spurt in the global demand for IT services in the early 1990s, particularly in the United States, we decided to expand our operations and market our product and service offerings in these markets. Towards this end, in 1991, we acquired Baton Rouge International Inc., USA (it was subsequently renamed CMC Americas, Inc, in 2003), one of the first cross-border acquisitions by an Indian IT firm.In 1992, the Indian government divested 16.69 per cent of CMC's equity to the General Insurance Corporation of India and its subsidiaries who, in turn, sold part of their stake to the public in 1996. In 1993, CMC's shares were listed on the Hyderabad Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). To service and develop our clientele in the UK and Europe, we opened a branch office in London, in 2000. The next year, the government divested 51 per cent of CMC's equity to Tata Sons Ltd, through a strategic sale, and CMC became a part of the Tata group. In line with our strategy of offering our products and services globally, in 2003, we opened a branch office in Dubai to tap the hitherto unexplored markets of West Asia and Africa. In 2004, the government divested its remaining 26.5 per cent stake in CMC to the public. 2. An Overview of the CMC LTD: CMC Limited is a leading IT solutions company and a subsidiary of Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS Ltd), one of the world's leading information technology consulting, services and business process outsourcing organizations. We are a part of the Tata group, India's best-known business conglomerate. With 18 offices, 150 service locations, 520 non-resident locations and over 3,800 employees worldwide, we provide a wide spectrum of unique Information Technology solutions and services to a clientele of premier organizations in the government and private sectors. CMC Americas, our subsidiary, services clients in the US, while our branch offices in the UK and Dubai market our products and services in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Large and complex project management capabilities Since its incorporation in 1975, CMC has an enviable record of successfully building IT solutions for massive and complex infrastructure and market projects. Take, for instance, just three of the many major projects undertaken by us: A passenger ticketing and reservations system for Indian Railways, which runs 6,000 passenger trains carrying over 10 million passengers a day, on a 90,000-km railway network covering around 8,000 railway stations. A cargo handling system is a comprehensive online real time cargo handling system to

An online transaction processing system for the Bombay Stock Exchange, which handles millions of securities trading transactions every day. End-to-end solutions capability We manage turnkey projects, and have built, managed and supported our customers' IT systems across the value chain — infrastructure, applications and business processes. That is because our capabilities span the entire IT spectrum: IT architecture; hardware; software (including systems and application software, development or implementation, maintenance, and frameworks); network consulting; and IT-enabled processing services. This is how we work: Our Customer Services (CS) unit designs and builds the IT infrastructure and network. Our Systems Integration (SI) unit develops applications and integrates them across diverse hardware and software platforms Our IT-Enabled Services (ITES) unit manages developed applications and digitisation activities. Our Education and Training unit provides IT education and training to users. Extensive domain expertise and technological competencies We have proven expertise in a wide array of applications, including real-time systems, online systems, embedded systems, process control, transaction processing, image processing, data communications, networking, parallel architectures, e-commerce technologies and e-governance applications. Our competitive edge comes from combining our technology competencies with our understanding of verticals, straddling a range of sectors from banking and insurance, power, mining and defence to education. Our high quality, high value IT solutions have helped reshape businesses and delivered measurable results to our customers. Sizable resource pool with diverse skill sets We achieve this with the help of our resource pool of engineers trained in diverse technologies, with vast domain knowledge and varied skill sets. Of our 3,718 employees, over 21 per cent have more than ten years of work experience. We also have a large competency pool that works on emerging technologies and competency areas. We have an impeccable educational profile; as many as 30 per cent of our employees have postgraduate degrees. We also conduct significant research into emerging technologies and competence areas at our state-of-the-art, ISO 9001-certified R&D centre in Hyderabad, India. That is what gives us an edge in complex, high technology projects. The Systems Integration Business Unit's all four regions are at Level 5 (optimising level) of the SEI's Capability Maturity Model (software).
- 7. Strong customer relationships CMC's customer orientation and service culture lead to enduring bonds with clients. Our distinct value proposition and service culture, coupled with our track record of successful service delivery, are reflected in our long-standing customer relationships with dominant players in key infrastructure, services and government sectors. Our customers include some of the biggest organisations in India: Reserve Bank of India, Indian Railways, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, United Western Bank, Bank of India and Bank of Baroda. The trust reposed in us by our clients is reflected in our growing revenues from operations such as post- implementation maintenance and support activities. Strong service delivery chain In the domestic market, we have established an extensive services network penetrating the remotest geographical locations. This gives us an unmatched advantage in servicing customers with an all-India presence, such as the railways, banks, government entities and other organisations with countrywide operations. Growth strategies CMC's growth strategy focuses on capitalising on its unique skill sets and leveraging the synergies with TCS and other Tata group companies, for growth in revenue and profitability of our operations. We will continue to focus on consolidating our dominant position in India, while expanding our reach globally. 3.
