Management Information Systems (MIS), also referred to as Information Systems or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications, are business management systems that integrate data from all the departments in a company, and provide operations staff and management with the information required to effectively run the business.

Each department has its own interface with the application or set of applications, but the MIS combines them into a single, integrated information system running on a single database construction so that the various departments can more easily share information and communicate, and are working from consistent data.
