To be honest I don't really understand much of what's going on in this week's topic. Here is what I have got from learning about information systems. The definition of an information system is that it's a collection of hardware, software, data, people, and procedures that work together to produce quality information. Basically what that means to me is that an information system is a company's method of distributing, using, producing, and modifying information. It is a company's way of executing activities that have to do with using computer data.
There is a systems development team and a systems analyst that oversees a company's information system and system development life cycle. The system development life cycle is comprised of planning, analysis, design, implementation, operation, support, and security. A systems analyst basically coordinates and manages the activities for people in the systems development team. After the information system is planned out, designed, and implemented the systems development team operates the system, supports the users, and makes sure the system is secure. What this means to me is that the systems development team makes sure the system is running smooth and makes sure proper changes are made when and if they need to be made within the system.
