Management information system

1 Management information systems are distinct from other information systems, in that they are used to

analyze and facilitate strategic and operational activities


Management information system Overview

1 A management information system gives the business managers the

information that they need to make decisions


Management information system Overview

1 Management information systems provide a variety of information products to managers


Management information system History

1 Kenneth and Jane Laudon identify five eras of MIS evolution

corresponding to the five phases in the development of computing technology: 1) mainframe and minicomputer computing, 2)

personal computers, 3) client/server networks, 4) enterprise computing,

and 5) cloud computing.



1 The first era (mainframe and minicomputer) was ruled by IBM and their mainframe

computers; these computers would often take up whole rooms and require teams to run them - IBM supplied the hardware and

the software. As technology advanced, these computers were able to handle greater

capacities and therefore reduce their cost. Smaller, more affordable minicomputers

allowed larger businesses to run their own computing centers in-house.



1 The second era (personal computer) began in 1965 as microprocessors

started to compete with mainframes and minicomputers and accelerated

the process of decentralizing computing power from large data

centers to smaller offices



1 As technological complexity increased and costs decreased, the need to share information within an enterprise also grew—giving rise to the third era (client/server), in which

computers on a common network access shared information on a

server



1 The fifth era (cloud computing) is the latest and employs networking

technology to deliver applications as well as data storage independent of the

configuration, location or nature of the hardware. This, along with high speed

cellphone and wifi networks, led to new levels of mobility in which managers

access the MIS remotely with laptop and tablet computers, plus smartphones.


Management information system Types and Terminology

1 The terms Management Information System (MIS), information system,

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and information technology management are often confused. Information systems and MIS are broader categories that include

ERP. Information technology management concerns the operation and

organization of information technology resources independent of their purpose.



1 Most management information systems specialize in particular

commercial and industrial sectors, aspects of the enterprise, or management substructure.



1 Management information systems (MIS), produce fixed, regularly

scheduled reports based on data extracted and summarized from the

firm’s underlying transaction processing systems to middle and

operational level managers to identify and inform structured and semi-structured decision problems.



1 Decision Support Systems (DSS) are computer program applications used by middle and higher management to compile information from a wide

range of sources to support problem solving and decision making.DSS is

majorly used for semi-structured and unstructured decision problems.



1 Executive Information Systems (EIS) is a reporting tool that provides quick

access to summarized reports coming from all company levels and

departments such as accounting, human resources and operations.



1 Marketing Information Systems (MIS) are Management Information

Systems designed specifically for managing the marketing aspects of

the business.



1 Office Automation Systems (OAS) support communication and

productivity in the enterprise by automating work flow and

eliminating bottlenecks. OAS may be implemented at any and all levels of

management.



1 School Information Management Systems (SIMS) cover school

administration,and often including teaching and learning materials.



1 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) facilitates the flow of information

between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization

and manage the connections to outside stakeholders.


Management information system Advantages

1 Companies are able to highlight their strengths and weaknesses due to the

presence of revenue reports, employees' performance record etc. The identification of these aspects

can help the company improve their business processes and operations.



1 Giving an overall picture of the company and acting as a communication and planning tool.



1 The availability of the customer data and feedback can help the company

to align their business processes according to the needs of the

customers. The effective management of customer data can help the company to perform direct marketing and promotion activities.



1 �Management Information Systems can help a company gain a

competitive advantage. Competitive advantage is a firm’s ability to do

something better, faster, cheaper, or uniquely, when compared with rival

firms in the market.


Management information system Enterprise applications

1 Enterprise systems—also known as enterprise resource planning (ERP)

systems—provide integrated software modules and a unified database that personnel use to plan, manage, and

control core business processes across multiple locations. Modules of ERP

systems may include finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, production, inventory management, and distribution.



1 Supply chain management (SCM) systems enable more efficient

management of the supply chain by integrating the links in a supply

chain. This may include suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers,

retailers, and final customers.



1 Customer relationship management (CRM) systems help businesses

manage relationships with potential and current customers and business

partners across marketing, sales, and service.



1 Knowledge management system (KMS) helps organizations facilitate

the collection, recording, organization, retrieval, and

dissemination of knowledge. This may include documents, accounting

records, unrecorded procedures, practices, and skills.


Management information system Developing Information Systems

1 "The actions that are taken to create an information system that solves an

organizational problem are called system development". These include system analysis, system design, computer

programming/implementation, testing, conversion, production and finally

maintenance. These actions usually take place in that specified order but some may

need to repeat or be accomplished concurrently.



1 Conversion is the process of changing or converting the old

system into the new. This can be done in three basic ways, though

newer methods (prototyping, Extreme Programming, JAD, etc.) are

replacing these traditional conversion methods in many cases:



1 Direct cut – The new system replaces the old at an appointed

time.



1 Pilot study -– Introducing the new system to a small portion of the

operation to see how it fares. If good then the new system expands to the

rest of the company.



1 Phased approach – New system is introduced in

stages.


Common Management Information Protocol

1 It provides an implementation for the services defined by the Common Management Information Service

(CMIS) specified in ITU-T Recommendation X.710, ISO/IEC

International Standard 9595, allowing communication between network

management applications and management agents



1 CMIP models management information in terms of managed

objects and allows both modification and performing actions on managed

objects. Managed objects are described using GDMO (Guidelines

for the Definition of Managed Objects), and can be identified by a distinguished name (DN), from the

X.500 directory.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html


1 CMIP also provides good security (support authorization, access control, and security logs) and

flexible reporting of unusual network conditions.


Common Management Information Protocol - Services implemented

1 The management functionality implemented by CMIP is described under CMIS services.


Common Management Information Protocol - Services implemented

1 In a typical Telecommunications Management Network, a network

management system will make use of the management operation services to monitor network

elements. Management agents found on network elements will make use

of the management notification services to send notifications or

alarms to the network management system.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html

Common Management Information Protocol - Deployment

1 CMIP is implemented in association with the ACSE and ROSE protocols. Both are Layer 7 OSI protocols (Application Layer). ACSE is

used to manage associations between management applications (i.e. manage

connections between CMIP agents). ROSE is employed for all data exchange interactions.

Besides the presence of these Layer 7 protocols, CMIP assumes the presence of all

OSI layers at lower levels but does not explicitly specify what these should be.



1 There have been some attempts to adapt CMIP to the TCP/IP protocol

stack. Most notable is CMOT contained in RFC 1189 (detailing

CMIP over TCP). Other possibilities include RFC 1006 (which provides an ISO transport service on top of TCP), and CMIP over LPP (a presentation

layer protocol that can run on top of TCP or UDP).



1 There is also a form of CMIS that is developed to operate directly on top of the LLC sublayer. It is called the

LAN/MAN Management Protocol (LMMP), formerly it was the Common

Management Information Services and Protocol over IEEE 802 Logical Link Control (CMOL). This protocol

does away with the need for the OSI stack as is the case with CMIP.


Common Management Information Protocol - History

1 CMIP was designed in competition with SNMP, and has far more features than SNMP


Management information base

1 A management information base (MIB) is a database used for managing the entities in a

communications network. Most often associated with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the

term is also used more generically in contexts such as in OSI/ISO Network management model. While intended to refer to the complete collection of management information available on an entity, it is often used to refer to a particular subset, more correctly

referred to as MIB-module.



1 Objects in the MIB are defined using a subset of Abstract Syntax Notation

One (ASN.1) called "Structure of Management Information Version 2

(SMIv2)" RFC 2578.The software that performs the parsing is a MIB

compiler.



1 The database is hierarchical (tree-structured) and each entry is addressed through an object

identifier (OID). Internet documentation RFCs discuss MIBs, notably RFC 1155, "Structure and

Identification of Management Information for TCP/IP based

internets", and its two companions, RFC 1213, "Management Information

Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets", and RFC

1157, "A Simple Network Management Protocol".


Management information base - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)

1 In telecommunications and computer networking, Abstract Syntax Notation

One (ASN.1) is a standard and flexible notation that describes data

structures for representing, encoding, transmitting, and decoding data. It provides a set of formal rules for describing the structure of objects

that are independent of machine-specific encoding techniques and is a precise, formal notation that removes

ambiguities.



1 ASN.1 is a joint ISO and ITU-T standard, originally defined in 1984 as part of CCITT X.409:1984. ASN.1

moved to its own standard, X.208, in 1988 due to wide applicability. The

substantially revised 1995 version is covered by the X.680 series.



1 An adapted subset of ASN.1, Structure of Management

Information (SMI), is specified in SNMP to define sets of related MIB objects; these sets are termed MIB

modules.


Management information base - MIB hierarchy

1 The MIB hierarchy can be depicted as a tree with a nameless root, the levels of which are assigned by

different organizations



1 A managed object (sometimes called a MIB object, an object, or a MIB) is

one of any number of specific characteristics of a managed device. Managed objects are made up of one or more object instances (identified by their OIDs), which are essentially

variables.



1 Tabular objects define multiple related object instances that are grouped in MIB tables.



1 An example of a managed object is atInput, which is a scalar object that contains a single object instance, the integer value that indicates the total number of input AppleTalk packets on

a router interface.



1 An object identifier (or object ID or OID) uniquely identifies a managed

object in the MIB hierarchy.


Management information base - SNMPv1 and SMI-specific data types

1 The first version of the SMI (SMIv1) specifies the use of a number of SMI-specific data types, which are divided

into two categories:


Management information base - Simple data types

1 Octet strings are ordered sequences

of 0 to 65,535 octets.


Management information base - Simple data types

1 Object IDs come from the set of all object identifiers allocated according

to the rules specified in ASN.1.


Management information base - Application-wide data types

1 Network addresses represent addresses from a particular protocol family. SMIv1 supports only 32-bit

(IPv4) addresses (SMIv2 uses Octet Strings to represent addresses

generically, and thus are usable in SMIv1 too. SMIv1 had an explicit IPv4

address datatype.)



1 Counters are non-negative integers that increase until they reach a

maximum value and then roll over to zero. SNMPv1 specifies a counter size

of 32 bits.



1 Gauges are non-negative integers that can increase or decrease

between specified minimum and maximum values. Whenever the

system property represented by the gauge is outside of that range, the

value of the gauge itself will vary no further than the respective maximum

or minimum, as specified in RFC 2578.



1 Time ticks represent time since some event, measured in hundredths of a second.



1 Opaques represent an arbitrary encoding that is used to pass

arbitrary information strings that do not conform to the strict data typing

used by the SMI.



1 Integers represent signed integer-valued information. This data type

redefines the integer data type, which has arbitrary precision in

ASN.1 but bounded precision in the SMI.



1 Unsigned integers represent unsigned integer-valued information,

which is useful when values are always non-negative. This data type

redefines the integer data type, which has arbitrary precision in

ASN.1 but bounded precision in the SMI.


Management information base - SNMPv1 MIB tables

1 The SNMPv1 SMI defines highly structured tables that are used to group the instances of a tabular

object (that is, an object that contains multiple variables). Tables are composed of zero or more rows,

which are indexed in a way that allows SNMP to retrieve or alter an

entire row with a single Get, GetNext, or Set command.


Management information base - SMIv2 and structure of management information

1 The second version of the SMI (SMIv2) is

described in RFC 2578 and RFC 2579



1 SMIv2 also specifies information modules, which specify a group of related definitions. Three types of

SMI information modules exist: MIB modules, compliance statements,

and capability statements.



1 MIB modules contain definitions of

interrelated managed objects.



1 Compliance statements provide a systematic way to describe a group of managed objects that must be

implemented for conformance to a standard.



1 Capability statements are used to indicate the precise level of support that an agent claims with respect to a MIB group. An NMS can adjust its

behavior toward agents according to the capabilities statements associated with each agent.


Management information base - Updating MIBs

1 This MIB has since been split up and can be found in MIBs such as RFC 4293 "Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol (IP)", RFC 4022 "Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)", RFC 4113 "Management Information Base for the

User Datagram Protocol (UDP)", RFC 2863 "The Interfaces Group MIB" and RFC 3418

"Management Information Base (MIB) for the Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP)".


Management information base - MIBs index

1 There are a large number of MIBs defined by both standards

organizations like the IETF, private enterprises and other entities.


Management information base - IETF maintained

1 SNMP - SMI: RFC 1155 — Defines the Structure of

Management Information (SMI)



1 MIB-I: RFC 1156 — Historically used with CMOT, not to be used

with SNMP



1 SNMPv2-SMI: RFC 2578 — Structure of Management

Information Version 2 (SMIv2)



1 UDP-MIB: RFC 4113 — Management Information Base for the User Datagram

Protocol (UDP)



1 IF-MIB: RFC 2863 — The Interfaces

Group MIB


Management information base - IEEE maintained

1 The IETF and IEEE have agreed to move MIBs relating to IEEE work (for example Ethernet and bridging) to

their respective IEEE workgroup. This is in process and a few items are

complete.


Management information base - MIB Browsers

1 SnmpB: A graphical open source MIB browser

for Windows, MacOSX and Linux.



1 mbrowse: A graphical SNMP MIB browser for Linux, based upon GTK+ and Net-SNMP.



1 BlackOwl MIB Browser: A graphical MIB browser for Windows and Linux which can extract MIBs from RFCs

and display graphs.



1 SMI-Mib Browser: A graphical MIB browser — as of 2010-05-18, this project is no longer under active

development.



1 JMibBrowser: A graphical MIB browser, written in Java. It can send SNMP requests and dynamically load

MIB data.

Dashboards (management information systems)

1 In management information systems, a 'dashboard' is an easy to read, often single page, real-time user interface, showing a

chart|graphical presentation of the current status (snapshot) and historical trends of an

organization’s Performance indicator|key performance indicators to enable

instantaneous and informed decisions to be made at a glance.Peter McFadden, CEO of

ExcelDashboardWidgets What is Dashboard Reporting. Retrieved: 2012-05-10.


Dashboards (management information systems)

1 For example, a manufacturing dashboard may show key performance indicators

related to productivity such as number of parts manufactured, or number of failed quality inspections per hour. Similarly, a human resources dashboard may show

KPIs related to staff recruitment, retention and composition, for example number of open positions, or average

days or cost per recruitment.


Dashboards (management information systems) - Types of dashboards

1 Digital dashboards may be laid out to track the flows inherent in the business processes that they

monitor. Graphically, users may see the high-level processes and then

data drilling|drill down into low level data. This level of detail is often buried deep within the corporate

enterprise and otherwise unavailable to the senior executives.



1 Specialized dashboards may track all corporate functions. Examples

include human resources, Recruitment|recruiting, sales,

Business operations|operations, security, information technology, project management, customer

relationship management and many more departmental dashboards.



1 Digital dashboard projects involve business units as the driver and the information technology department

as the enabler. The success of digital dashboard projects often depends on the measurement|metrics that were

chosen for monitoring. Key performance indicators, balanced

scorecards, and sales performance figures are some of the content

appropriate on business dashboards.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html

Dashboards (management information systems) - Interface design styles

1 Like a car's dashboard (or control panel), a software dashboard provides decision

makers with the input necessary to drive the business. Thus, a graphical user

interface may be interface design|designed to display summaries, graphics (e.g., bar

charts, pie charts, bullet graphs, sparklines, etc.), and gauges (with colors similar to

traffic lights) in a Enterprise portal|portal-like framework to highlight important

information.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html

Dashboards (management information systems) - History

1 The idea of digital dashboards followed the study of decision support systems in the

1970s


Dashboards (management information systems) - History

1 In the late 1990s, Microsoft promoted a concept known as the Digital

Nervous System and digital dashboards were described as being

one leg of that concept.


Dashboards (management information systems) - Benefits

1 Digital dashboards allow managers to monitor the contribution of the

various departments in their organization. To gauge exactly how well an organization is performing

overall, digital dashboards allow you to capture and report specific data

points from each department within the organization, thus providing a

snapshot of performance.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html


1 Benefits of using digital dashboards include:



1 *Visual presentation of performance measures



1 *Ability to make more informed decisions based on collected business intelligence



1 *Saves time compared to running multiple

reports



1 *Quick identification of data outliers and

correlations


Management information systems

1 A 'management information system' ('MIS') provides information that organizations require to manage

themselves efficiently and effectively. http://www.occ.gov/publications/publi

cations-by-type/comptrollers-handbook/mis.pdf Management

information systems are typically computer systems used for managing. The five primary

components: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html

Management information systems

1 Management information systems are distinct from other information systems because they are used to analyze and facilitate strategic and

operational activities.


Management information systems - Overview

1 Originally, the term Management Information System MIS described

applications providing managers with information about sales, inventories,

and other data that would help in managing the enterprise



1 Exception Reports are produced only when exceptional conditions occur.

Exception reporting reduces information overload instead of

overwhelming decision makers with periodic detailed reports of business

activity.



1 Demand Reports and Responses are available when the managers require

immediate access to vital information. Web browsers, DBMS

query languages, and report generators enable managers to get this information and not force them to wait for periodic detailed reports

of business activity.



1 Push Reporting is information that is pushed directly to the manager’s

respective networked workstation. Webcasting software is being more

frequently utilized to broadcast selective reports and other vital

information.


Management information systems - History

1 Kenneth C. Laudon and Jane Laudon identify five eras of MIS evolution

corresponding to the five phases in the development of computing technology: 1) mainframe and minicomputer computing, 2)

Management information systems - Advantages

1 The following are some of the benefits that can be attained for different types of management

information systems.Pant, S., Hsu, C., (1995), Strategic Information Systems Planning: A Review,

Information Resources Management Association International Conference,

May 21–24, Atlanta.



1 * Companies are able to highlight their strengths and weaknesses due to the presence of revenue reports, employees' performance record etc. The identification of these aspects

can help the company improve their business processes and operations.



1 * Giving an overall picture of the company and acting as a communication and planning

tool.



1 * The availability of the customer data and feedback can help the company to align their business

processes according to the needs of the customers. The effective

management of customer data can help the company to perform direct marketing and promotion activities.



1 *Management Information Systems can help a company gain a

competitive advantage. Competitive advantage is a firm’s ability to do

something better, faster, cheaper, or uniquely, when compared with rival

firms in the market.


Management information systems - Enterprise applications

1 * Enterprise systems—also known as enterprise resource planning (ERP)

systems—provide integrated software modules and a unified

database that personnel use to plan, manage, and control core business processes across multiple locations. Modules of ERP systems may include

finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, production, inventory management, and

distribution.



1 * Supply chain management (SCM) systems enable more efficient

management of the supply chain by integrating the links in a supply

chain. This may include suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers,

retailers, and final customers.



1 * Customer relationship management (CRM) systems help businesses

manage relationships with potential and current customers and business

partners across marketing, sales, and service.



1 * Knowledge management system (KMS) helps organizations facilitate

the collection, recording, organization, retrieval, and

dissemination of knowledge. This may include documents, accounting

records, unrecorded procedures, practices, and skills.



1 Knowledge management (KM) as a system covers the process of

knowledge creation and acquisition from internal processes and the

external world. The collected knowledge is incorporated in organizational policies and

procedures, and then disseminated to the stakeholders.

Simple Network Management Protocol - Management information base (MIB)

1 MIBs use the notation defined by Structure of Management

Notation One|ASN.1.


Risk Management Information Systems

1 A 'risk management information system' (RMIS) is an information

system that assists in consolidating property values, claims, policy, and

exposure information and provide the tracking and management reporting

capabilities to enable the user to monitor and control the overall cost

of risk.


Risk Management Information Systems - Overview

1 The management of risk data and information is key to the success of

any risk management effort regardless of an organization's size

or industry sector. Risk management information systems/services (RMIS)

are used to support expert advice and cost-effective information

management solutions around key processes such as:



1 Typically, RMIS facilitates the consolidation of information related to insurance, such as claims from multiple sources,property values, policy information, and exposure

information, into one system. Often, RMIS applies primarily to “casualty” claims/loss data systems. Such casualty coverages

include auto liability, auto physical damage, workers' compensation, general

liability and products liability.



1 RMIS products are designed to provide their insured organizations and their brokers with basic policy

and claim information via electronic access, and most recently, via the

Internet



1 In the context of the acronym RMIS, the word “risk” pertains to an insured

or self-insured organization


Risk Management Information Systems - Common types of RMIS

1 Most major insurance companies (carriers), broker/agents, and third

party administrators (TPAs)offer/provide at least one external RMIS product to their

insureds (clients) and any brokers involved in the insurance program



1 The primary users of RMIS are risk/insurance departments of insured organizations and any insurance broker involved. Interestingly, it is much less common for the insured's safety

department and vehicle operations department to have access to RMIS despite

similar interest in the data. In fact, safety and vehicle operations of larger organizations

typically maintain their own separate database systems of “accidents/incidents,” many of

which will correlate to RMIS claim data.



1 Insurance companies normally use a different version of externally

provided RMIS for internal use, such as by underwriting and loss control personnel. Occasionally, there could be timing or other differences that

could cause data discrepancies between the internal system and

externally provided RMIS.



1 Insurance brokers have a similar need for access to their insured client's claim data



1 Insurance carrier and a TPA claim adjusters traditionally use claims

management systems to collect and manage claim information and to

administer claims. Some client organizations, however, may choose to manage certain types of claims or

those within a loss retention layer and thus use this type of system as

well.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html


1 Typically, the claims management system provides the primary data to RMIS products


Risk Management Information Systems - Key Vendor Attributes and Differences

1 Along with insurance carriers, broker/agents and TPAs that offer

their own proprietary systems, there are a variety of direct RMIS

technology companies who sell to direct insureds and even the carriers, broker/agents and TPAs themselves.



1 Major differences among RMIS vendors include:



1 *Currency of technology (Internet-based vs.

Internet-accessible);



1 *Flexibility in meeting client requirements (custom screen views,

client-defined data fields, special reports, etc.);



1 *Ongoing support service quality (availability of senior/quality technical support, help desk

availability, dedicated staff and stability, etc.);



1 *Data quality control (data conversion

accuracy, data source cleanup, etc.);



1 *Pricing (first-year cost, ongoing cost, custom programming charges, data record storage

fees);



1 *Availability of related modules (property exposure management,

policy management, claim/incident setup, occupational safety and health

administration (OSHA) record keeping, claims audits, etc.);



1 *Turnaround time for data loads;



1 *Foreign conversion/support (financial fields, language, fluent support staff, etc.)



1 RMIS system compatibility varies

among carriers, broker/agents and

TPAshttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html

Risk Management Information Systems - Average RMIS costs and RMIS market drivers

1 The cost of a typical independent RMIS product varies from $60,000 to

$150,000 for the first year, and ongoing annual charges are slightly

less



1 TPAs commonly include one or two RMIS access IDs within their claims management pricing to encourage

both the client's broker and the client to use their claim look-up product.

Normally, beyond the first two access IDs, the pricing follows the same per-

user range of the insurance companies. The cost drivers of RMIS

include:https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html


1 • Number of user/access IDs



1 • Number of outside claim data sources that must be converted

(carriers and TPAs do not have to convert their own data)



1 • Frequency of outside claim data

updates



1 • Training of users (initial and annual

users' conferences)



1 Clearly, higher cost systems do not always correlate to better

performance in terms of both usefulness and speed. While most carrier and TPA RMIS systems are similarly priced, the independent RMIS vendors' price range varies

significantly, as previously mentioned.

Project life cycle - Project management information systems (PMIS)

1 An information system consisting of the tools and techniques used to

gather, integrate, and disseminate the outputs of project management processes. It is used to support all

aspects of the project from initiating through closing, and can include both

manual and automated systems.


Common management information service

1 It defines the service interface that is implemented by the Common

Management Information Protocol (CMIP) as specified in

[http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.711 ITU-T Recommendation X.711,

ISO/IEC International Standard 9596-1]


Common management information service

1 Note the term CMIP is sometimes used erroneously when CMIS is

intended. CMIS/CMIP is most often used in telecommunication

applications, in other areas Simple Network Management Protocol|SNMP

has become more popular.


Common management information service - Management operation services

1 * M-GET – Request managed object attributes (for one object or a set of objects)



1 * M-CANCEL-GET – Cancel an

outstanding GET request



1 * M-SET – Set managed object attributes



1 * M-ACTION – Request an action to be performed on a managed object


Common management information service - Management notification services

1 * M-EVENT-REPORT – Send events occurring on

managed objects


Common management information service - Management association services

1 To transfer (computing)|transfer management information between

open systems using CMIS/CMIP, peer connections, i.e., associations, must

be established. This requires the establishment of an Application layer

association, a Session layer telecommunication connection|connection, a Transport layer

connection, and, depending on supporting telecommunication|

communications technology, Network layer and Link layer connections.


Common management information service - Management association services

1 CMIS initially defined management association services but it was later

decided these services could be provided by ACSE and these services

were removed. Below is a list of these services which were

subsequently removed from ISO 9595:

Project management information system

1 A 'project management information systems|information system' (PMIS) is the coherent organization of the information required for an organization to

execute projects successfully. A PMIS is typically one or more software

applications and a methodical process for collecting and using

project information. These electronic systems help [to] plan, execute, and

close project management goals.


Project management information system

1 PMIS systems differ in scope, design and features depending upon an

organisation's operational requirements.


Project management information system - PMIS PMBOK 4th edition definition

1 Project management information system (PMIS) [Tool]. The Project Management Information System (PMIS), part of the

enterprise environmental factors, provides access to an automated tool, such as a

scheduling software tool, a configuration management system, an information

collection and distribution system, or web interfaces to other online automated

systems used during the Direct and Manage Project Execution effort.


Project management information system - Project management information system software

1 At the center of any modern 'PMIS' is software. 'Project management

information system' can vary from something as simple as a File system

containing Microsoft Excel documents, to a full blown enterprise

PMIS software.


Project management information system - Characteristics of a PMIS Software

1 The methodological process used to collect and organize project

information can match normalized methodologies such as Project Management Professional or

PRINCE2.



1 A PMIS Software supports all Project management knowledge areas such as : Integration

Management, Project Scope Management, Project Time Management, Project Cost Management, Project Quality Management, Project Human

Resource Management, Project Communications Management, Project Risk Management, Project

Procurement Management, and Project Stakeholders

Structure of Management Information

1 In computing, the 'Structure of Management Information (SMI)', an adapted subset of Abstract syntax notation one|ASN.1, operates in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to define sets (modules) of related managed

objects in a Management information base (MIB).



1 SMI subdivides into three parts: module definitions, object definitions,

and notification definitions.



1 * Module definitions are used when describing information modules. An ASN .1 macro, MODULE-IDENTITY, is

used to concisely convey the semantics of an information module.



1 * Object definitions describe managed objects. An ASN.1 macro, OBJECT-TYPE, is used to concisely

convey the syntax and semantics of a managed object.



1 * Notification definitions (aka traps) are used when describing unsolicited

transmissions of management information. An ASN.1 macro, NOTIFICATION-TYPE, concisely

conveys the syntax and semantics of a notification.

Prosecutor's Management Information System

1 The 'Prosecutor's Management Information System' ('PROMIS') is a

Database management system|database system developed by Inslaw Inc., a Washington, D.C.|

Washington, D.C.-based, information technology company.


Prosecutor's Management Information System

1 PROMIS was first developed by Inslaw during the 1970s under

contracts and grants from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA)


Prosecutor's Management Information System - What is PROMIS?

1 Quote|...Designed as a case-management system for prosecutors,

PROMIS has the ability to track people. Every use of PROMIS in the

court system is tracking people, said Inslaw President Hamilton. You can rotate the file by case, defendant, arresting officer, judge, defense lawyer, and it's tracking all the

names of all the people in all the cases. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-management-information-toolkit.html


1 What this means is that PROMIS can provide a complete rundown of all

federal cases in which a lawyer has been involved, or all the cases in which a lawyer has represented

defendant A, or all the cases in which a lawyer has represented white-collar criminals, at which stage in each of

the cases the lawyer agreed to a plea bargain, and so on. Based on this information, PROMIS can help a

prosecutor determine when a plea will be taken in a particular type of

case.



1 But the real power of PROMIS, according to Hamilton, is that with a

staggering 570,000 lines of computer code, PROMIS can integrate

innumerable databases without requiring any reprogramming


Prosecutor's Management Information System - Beyond PROMIS

1 Current case management software programs have progressed

substantially as referenced by other commercial vendors such as New

Dawn Technologies ([http://www.newdawn.com

JustWare]), CourtView ([http://www.courtview.com]),

Software Unlimited, LawBase, and CSI Technology Group

([http://www.infoshare.com/ InfoShare]), competitors of Inslaw

Inc.
