Business Information System Carmen Rios BIS/219 May 31, 2010 PANAGIOTIS MASTROGIANNIS Information Systems and Software Applications Organizational departments have their way of organizing data or information. To do so they used different types of software created to meet the need of each company and services. I choose finance, human resources and accounting. In this paper we will know what those software applications are and what type of services do they provided. According to © 2010 Merriam-Webster, Incorporated (2010) “finance is the system that includes the circulation of money, the granting of credit, the making of investments, and the provision of banking facilities” (Finance, para. 1). One of the best and popular finances software applications is Mint. Mints offers support for investment accounts and allow users to create a personal budget. The Human Resources company is the one that keeps track of their employees information such as everyone address, job title, date of hire, salary and more. The Internet offers different software applications that support the human resources. One such application is called iCIMS and according to © Copyright iCIMS 2000-2010 (2000-2010), “iCIMS is a tracking and recruiting software that puts HR & Recruiting Professionals in the best position to make the strongest hiring and employee management decisions” ( Applicant Tracking & HR Recruiting Software, para. 1).. This particular software application is able to keep track of the entire employee roster and all the necessary information that the company would need to organize and cut time and costs to run effectively its business. The accounting department of a company would use an information system, or accounting information system (AIS) to help maintain financial records such as sales and purchase information. The purpose of this is to help keep accounting records accurately and efficiently and provide useful information so that management, accountants, investors and creditors can make economic decisions. A popular software application that accountants can use is call Quickbooks. Quickbooks helps small businesses enter their accounts payable and accounts receivable. It can prepare invoices, payments, create final reports and more. By using a software application like Quickbook companies save more money and time. In conclusion we have talked about some of the best software applications that companies used to run their business and we have seen a little review of then also. Of course there many more software that are as good and that other companies use too. What it is more important is that thanks to this software companies can run faster and provided a much better services to their customers.
