Company directors rarely make a major decision today without first checking what the numbers say - and it is Information Systems (IS) that make those numbers available in the first place. This Training Course by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy starts from that decision-making angle before working back into the principles that make Information Systems Management (ISM) reliable.

Information Systems combine computer-based tools specifically designed to help organisations carry out their work, hit their targets and speed up implementation. Beyond decision support, they also assist with surveillance, networking, data computation, inter-branch communication and general office facilitation. Because so much depends on them working correctly, this course focuses on the principles that keep an IS structure sound - the difference between a system that merely exists and one that is properly managed.

• Directors and supervisors at companies using Information Systems (IS), and heads of software departments.
