[...] DSS has Greater analytical power than other systems, incorporate modelling tools, aggregation and analysis tools, and support what-if scenarios Must provide user-friendly, interactive tools Knowledge Management system Knowledge management is an integrated, systematic process for identifying, collecting, storing, retrieving, and transforming Information and Knowledge assets (including previously unarticulated expertise and experience held by individuals) into Knowledge that is readily accessible in order to improve the performance of the organisation. Examples Knowledge work professional systems Automotive engineers use computer-aided engineering (CAE) software together with “virtual reality” systems to design and test new models for fuel efficiency, handling, and passenger protection before producing prototypes, and later they use CAE in the design and analysis of physical tests.

[...] Management Information Systems A management information system is mainly concerned with internal sources of information. MIS usually take data from the transaction processing systems (see below) and summarize it into a series of management reports. Transactions recorded in a TPS are analyzed and reported by an MIS. They have large quantities of input data and they produce summary reports as output. Used by middle managers. An example is an annual budgeting system. MIS reports tend to be used by middle management and operational supervisors. [...]

[...] Security Issue Information systems security measures The first step in creating a secure information system is to identify threats. Once potential problems are known, the second step, establishing controls, can be taken. Finally, the third step consists of audits to discover any breach of security.
