IS242 Management Information Systems
Week 5 Discussion
Analytics as part of IS Management
Data Analytics and business intelligence aren’t new concepts, by any means, but the methods, tools, amounts and kinds of data have definitely changed over time. Consider the role of analytics in the management of information systems based on your knowledge and experience as well as our readings and activities.
Discuss some of the ways in which analytics assist information systems management as well as the organization at large. What kinds of data are most useful and how is it gathered? How do managers protect customer, client, and even employees’ personally identifiable information in order for those who may not have permissions to view it? How is the data secured in general?
