Our second assignment in Management Information System (MIS) is to find organization and discuss some of their best practices in IS/IT. First thing I do is to find a company that has an MIS department and give the company profile of that company. After that we need submit to our facilitator Sir Gamboa for approval. Then if the company is approved we need to write a letter to the company we choose and submit it to the company. The company I choose is EMCOR (Engineering Machinery Corporation).

The Risk of IT/IS Changes
The company is using an In-house Develop System. It is an In-house Develop System because the company implements and designs there own system. In the development stage the company uses a Visual FoxPro as their front end and SQL 6.5, SQL 7.0 and turns to SQL 2000. They use it for management monitoring system through this the company can know the transaction in any store aside from two stores in Mangagoy because of the problem in internet connection. The two stores in Mangagoy have their own database and they have to submit it to the main branch for evaluation if that branch is improving or not. The database will automatically update every five minutes by the access of the internet. The maintenance of the database is through their programmer and system analyst. They also develop some feature in their database to make it easy and more precise to the users. The advantages of the database they are using are it is fast, more accurate and cost. The company saves money and time. Aside from the advantages there are also disadvantages in the database they use. If the personnel is no enough training and knowledge about the system he is currently using. The company is not ready for the Disaster Recovery System. The company suffer system failure that affects all transaction currently in progress but do not physically damage the database.
Therefore, the development and management of information technology tools assists executives and the general workforce in performing any tasks related to the processing of information. Managing ones system is indeed a hard thing to do. Management Information System (MIS) and business systems are especially useful in the collation of business data and the production of reports to be used as tools for decision making.
