About information systems
Information systems are the mechanisms that drive the innovations that are enabling people and organisations to be more creative and productive. In the last decade the explosion in Internet-based information systems has transformed the way we shop, conduct financial transactions, plan holidays, keep in touch with friends, search for jobs and staff, create and share information and much more.
We are concerned with education in three major disciplinary areas:
Information Systems are essential to the operations of modern organisations and our undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programs examine all aspects of the design, development and implementation of information systems and the impacts of these systems on the people who use them and on the wider community.
Our role in teaching Information Technology emphasises the business and organisational application of technologies such as Databases and Telecommunication and Networking. This includes the technologies required for electronic commerce through to database administration.
Efficient and effective Business process management is a key driver for a business's productivity and competitiveness. The study of business process and operations includes such functions as process risk management, capacity planning, supply chain and logistics management, resource allocation and quality assurance.
