Information systems supply tools and information needed by the managers to allocate,coordinate and monitor their work, make decision,create new products and services and make long range strategic decision.ģ.TECHNOLOGY DIMENSION : Management uses technology to carry out their functions.
#Library transaction processing system software#
The authors identify five quantitative attributes of database management systems: number of sites, number of machines, number of processes (executing software entities), degree of heterogeneity in the machines and system software, and number of logical data schemata. The problems are related to recovery, concurrency, and coordination. The authors put forward the notion that the problems in building transaction processing systems are a function of the pivotal attributes of the underlying database management systems.
