Office work and calculations across companies and organisations have never been easier thanks to information systems (IS) — a set of computer programs that organise work, ease communication, and push a company's progress forward through dedicated software. Because of how central they have become, mastering their management and learning how to run them properly is no longer optional.

That is precisely what the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy built this course to deliver: a scientific curriculum on the foundations of Information Systems Management (ISM) that equips participants with both academic knowledge and hands-on expertise in the field.

At its core, ISM is a system made up of people, records, data, and both manual and non-manual operations, all working to manipulate data and information inside an organisation. In other words, it is a group of interacting elements that collect, process, store, and distribute information about a given subject methodically, in order to support decision-making and build a clear picture — current and future — of whatever is being studied. What began as a branch of computer science aimed at developing technical management has since grown into a major management field in its own right.

What participants will master:

• Approaching information systems from a solid academic foundation.
• Working confidently with information applications inside companies.
• Making sound decisions in technical areas of the business.
• Handling office and accounting tasks more efficiently through IS tools.

Who should attend:

• Human resources staff.
• Division heads in institutions that rely on information systems.
• Managers of technical companies built around information programs.
• Managers of information development divisions.
• Supervisors responsible for computer programs development.
• Company chairmen and directors of medium and large companies.
• Computerisation and information management supervisors, and investors interested in the IS field.
