Strategic information system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A strategic information system (SIS) is a computer system used by organizations to analyze market and competitor information, helping them plan and make their business more successful. It shapes the corporate strategy of an organization by providing a connection between the organization's demands and the latest information technology. This connection helps the organization adapt to the continuous changes in the corporate environment; thereby gaining a competitive advantage [1]
