MIS

    (MIS) A computer system, usually based on a
   mainframe or minicomputer, designed to provide management
   personnel with up-to-date information on an organisation's
   performance, e.g. inventory and sales.  These systems output
   information in a form that is useable by managers at all
   levels of the organisation: strategic, tactical, and
   operational.  A good example of an MIS report is an annual
   report for a stockholder (a scheduled report).
