A model of the components of an information system: computer hardware, software, data, procedures, and people
Computer hardware Electronic components and related gadgetry that input, process, output, store, and communicate data according to be instructions encoded in computer programs or software. One of the five fundamental components of an information system. Computer hardware is a the most important element to me without the hardware I wouldn't be able to do anything. By knowing how to use the hardware it is important, and it comes with different functions such as the monitor, keyboard, and printers. Being able to know these elements I would be able to see, type and print off things that I need.
Software Instructions for computers. Computer hardware is virtually useless without computer software. Software is the programs that are needed to accomplish the input, processing, output, storage, and control activities of information systems. With the software
Data Recorded facts or figuresHaving the right data of appropriate quality enables the organization to perform processes well and to determine which processes have the greatest impact.Data collected is timely, accurate, relevant, and cost effective.The ultimate goal of the program is to define a data-sharing environment to provide a single, accurate, and consistent source of data for the organization.If an organization manages and preserves the data properly, the data is available for use well into the future, increasing the investment made in generating it by increasing visibility and usefulness. The time spent in planning and implementing effective data management pays dividends far in excess of its investment costs
Procedures Instructions for humans procedures are the policies that govern the operation of a computer system
People includes those who operate and service the computers, those who maintain the data, those who support the networks, and those who use the system.
