Overview

Management Information Systems lie at the intersection of business intelligence and computer programming. MIS managers apply information technology in ways that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational decision-making and enterprise-wide management.
This ability to save an organization time, money, and frustration by harnessing the usefulness of big data positions MIS managers to become valued members of a leadership team.
