IT helps to come to a decision in a more systematic and structured way. This is particularly true if we are striving for consistency and quality, and are dealing with a large number of situations. One common application is in finance. For example, there are programs to help the banks decide which customer should be given a higher amount of mortgage, based on certain pre-set criteria. IT helps to diagnose situation more objectively based on a set of conditions. Thus the results are more consistent and of higher standard. The process does not have a lot of human (subjective) input or judgement. The MIS (which can be a Decision support system) standardises the input so the output (ie decisions) are of higher quality.
You need to think of the purpose of having an MIS first, why do we need it? to speed up a procedure? to facilitate a process? References :
