Types of systems.

What is a system?

It is a group of interrelated components that work together to achieve a desired result or is a set of parts that are integrated to achieving a goal. An example of systems could be indicated with the implementation of housing automation systems.

The origin of information systems is intimately related to the origin of organizations to such an extent that an IS can not exist unless there is an organization as such.

Information System (IS). Set of people, data, processes and information technology that interact to collect, process, save and provide as output the information needed to support an organization.

The SIs help to see, understand, communicate, analyze and control the information of the organizations.

For the creation and design of a system you need five large groups that play roles in the aforementioned process, these are:

The systems analyst: is a specialized professional in the area of ​​information technology, in charge of being the analytical filter to determine what is to be achieved. In other words, it serves as a facilitator or instructor, which builds bridges between the communication gaps that can develop naturally between the owners of the non-technical system and the users as well as the designers and constructors of the technical system.

System Owners: this group is classified as administrators. Depending on the size of the organization, they can be Executive Administrators or supervisors. In other words, they pay for the system to be built and operated and establish the vision and priorities of the system. Therefore, they see an information system in terms of costs and benefits to solve problems and exploit opportunities.

The users of the system: define the business requirements and the expectations of the system. Therefore, they see an information system in terms of the functionality that it provides to its posts, ease of learning and ease of use. There are several types of users, among which are:

• Internal users: business employees enter this class. One of the pillars of the organization, they constitute the largest part that consumes the SI. Examples of these are: service and office workers, supervisors, administrators, etc.
