5 LEVEL PYRAMID MODEL DIAGRAM - INFORMATION SYSTEMS

TYPES
A five level pyramid model of different types of Information Systems based on the
information processing requirement of different levels in the organization. The first
level represents transaction processing systems to process basic data. The second
level represents office support systems to process information in office. The third
level represents management information systems to process information by
managers. The fourth level represents decision support systems to process explicit
knowledge. The fifth level represents executive information systems to process
tacit knowledge. "A Computer(-Based) Information System is essentially an IS
using computer technology to carry out some or all of its planned tasks. The basic
components of computer based information system are:

(1) Hardware - these are the devices like the monitor, processor, printer and
keyboard, all of which work together to accept, process, show data and
information.

(2) Software - are the programs that allow the hardware to process the data.

(3) Databases - are the gathering of associated files or tables containing related
data.

(4) Networks - are a connecting system that allows diverse computers to distribute
resources.

(5) Procedures - are the commands for combining the components above to process
information and produce the preferred output.

The first four components (hardware, software, database and network) make up
what is known as the information technology platform. Information technology
workers could then use these components to create information systems that watch
over safety measures, risk and the management of data. These actions are known as
information technology services." [Information systems. Wikipedia] This pyramid
