This course provides a broad socio-technical overview of information systems in organizations, emphasizing how technology infrastructure and enterprise applications work together to support operational, managerial, and strategic decision-making. Topics include the role of information systems in achieving competitive advantage, the components and architecture of IT infrastructure, and the features and functions of key enterprise systems. Students will examine the planning, implementation, and governance of information systems projects, as well as the design and operation of major enterprise applications such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Knowledge Management Systems (KMS), and Business Intelligence (BI). The course equips students with a foundational understanding of how information systems enable and transform modern organizations.

This course offers a hands-on, technical exploration of the infrastructure, technologies, and applications that support enterprise-level information systems. Tailored for students in Management Information Systems (MIS), it develops practical skills and foundational knowledge essential for the operation, design, and implementation of enterprise computing environments. Core topics include system architecture, integration of enterprise applications, and the technical components that support organizational processes. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to describe, manage, and construct key information system functionalities in real-world business contexts. Recommended prerequisites include prior coursework in MIS, databases, and programming.

This course examines the strategic role of information systems in shaping and supporting global business operations.
