Assessment Purpose
In any organisation, information systems with specific purposes are available to employees at various levels of seniority and responsibility. For example, senior managers might use an Executive Support System (ESS) to formulate strategy and monitor progress towards its implementation.
This assessment asks the student to populate a hierarchy of information systems and to describe these individual systems and their relationships to each other.
Students are also asked to describe how the functioning of these systems might be improved by the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
Assessment Task / Item
Submit a set of six (6 ) presentation slides and associated slide notes, that describe a set of four (4) information systems and their inter-dependencies, as described in ’Instructions’ below.
This is an individual assessment.

Assessment Instructions
Using presentation software, like Microsoft PowerPoint, Prezi or similar, you must create a visual presentation of six (6) slides that addresses each of the tasks below.
Each slide should include images or diagrams explaining the information being discussed. The slide notes for the set of six (6) slides should total 500 words. Both the slide images and the slide notes are to be submitted as completion of this assessment.
1. On one (1) slide, create a hierarchy of information systems diagram based on ‘Figure 1’ below, using the following systems:
a) MIS
b) DSS
c) TPS
d) ESS
In your diagram, specify which system goes in which section of the diagram, and explain why in your notes.
2. Using four (4) slides (one per system), describe the inputs, outputs and purpose of each of these systems, and their relationship to other systems in the hierarchy.
3. On one (1) slide, create summarise the possible benefits of replacing some/all/any of these systems with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
