what is the difference between information systems and information technology?

That's a good question.  I am an applied information technology student and have friends who are studying Management information systems.  I think that Information systems refers to the solutions already put in place to make work easier and improve efficiency.  For instance an MIS major isn't expected to re-invent the wheel when they join an IT department.  On the other hand information technology teaches you about computing from a practical and vantage point of view.  You see the problems and suggest solutions.  Solutions that you will implement and someone with a background in information systems will take over and work on daily.  For instance, a bus company like greyhound writes tickets by hand.  the information technology guy says no we should use a database, he designs and implements it and then an information system worker comes in to maintain and do the daily activities the database needs to function.\n\nI hope this answers your question.

An information technology person can do all sorts of things from managing/designing a network, developing software, developing and managing websites and their content, administering a database, managing projects related to software, assisting others use computers and or software - help desk functions, train others how to use technology, provide and manage security for systems and networks... the list is long.  Hope this helps.

B.Sc. in Computer Science is more towards programming ( mainly in language and software programming); where as B. Tech. in IT deals with technical stuff such as hardware (CPU, Memory card, motherboard, machine configuration, etc.),  networking/cabling, etc.

If you coming right out of college  without any Health Care experience, that I would expect you won't get asked too many technical questions. \n\nYou  might get asked if you familar with (whatever software/hardware you will be using) but I would expect open questions that allow you to talk about anything that related. \nInformation Systems Technicians operate and maintain information systems, facilitating system utilization. In many companies, these technicians assemble data sets and other details needed to build databases. This includes data management, procedure writing, writing job setup instructions, and performing program librarian functions. ITs assist in designing and coordinating the development of integrated information system databases. ITs also help maintain Internet and Intranet websites. They decide how information is presented and create digital multimedia and presentation using software and related equipment.

In General, every thing we can see is a system, and my be simple system or complex system. and each system has peoples that use it or working on it. In simple systems you can found that specialist users that know every things about the system, but in Complex systems you found specialist users in which their experts is only on some parts of the system.

Information systems is good for IT; for repair, you would need to go to a technical school.

Communication technology in plain language refers to the gadgets, devices, machines,equipments and facilities, and programs or softwares and systems, that are being used in electronic communications. This may include mobile and landline post, communications cables and other lines like fiber optics, computers, modems, satellite, parabolic and other antennas, electronic switches, switching and network offices, the internet, etc.\nOn the other hand, information technology refers to the system that a company has in order to gather and dissiminate information that will help them gain competitive advantage against rival companies. This may include a company's information technology set up, like computers, mainframes or servers, internet, information gathering procedures and softwares, information analysis softwares and procedures, information treatment and handling procedures, information storage procedures and softwares, information dissimination procedure and softwares, and network of information sources lkie suppliers and business partners and many others. \nAs an individual the effect of communication technology on you are, better, faster and on-time communication with your family, friends, relatives, co-workers, pals, chums, and with anybody or any institutions that has electronic communication capabilities.

An "IS manager" is the information systems manager.\n\nInformation systems managers install computer systems, ensure that back up systems operate effectively, buy hardware and software, provide the ICT technology infrastructures for an organisation, and contribute to organisational policy with regard to quality standards and strategic planning.\n\nInformation systems managers work in every size of organisation in every industry and service sector, usually with a staff of technicians, programmers and database administrators reporting to them. \n\nWithin the ICT sector actual job titles are dependent on the employing organisation. You might, for example, be a service delivery manager in a software house or a data processing manager in an end-user organisation. \n\nInformation systems managers direct the work of systems/business analysts, computer programmers, support specialists, and other computer-related workers. \n\nThe role is ultimately dependent on the employing organisation and the complexity of its information systems. \n\nStandard activities are likely to include: \n\n---evaluating user needs and system functionality\n---ensuring that ICT facilities meet the needs of individuals and projects\n---planning, developing and implementing the ICT budget, obtaining competitive prices from suppliers, where appropriate, to ensure cost effectiveness \n---scheduling upgrades and security backups of hardware and software systems\n--researching and installing new systems\n--ensuring the smooth running of all ICT systems, including anti-virus software, print services and e-mail provision \n--ensuring that software licensing laws are adhered to\n--providing secure access to the network for remote users\n--ensuring the security of data from internal and external attack\n---providing users with appropriate support and advice\n---managing crisis situations, which may involve complex technical hardware or software problems\n---mentoring and training new ICT support staff\n---keeping up to date with the latest technologies

you're kidding right?\n\nSoftware.\n\nHardware is everything tangible. An OS is a medium for hardware and application to communicate.

As an area of study it is commonly referred to as information technology management. The study of information systems is usually a commerce and business administration discipline, and frequently involves software engineering, but also distinguishes itself by concentrating on the integration of computer systems with the aims of the organization. The area of study should not be confused with computer science which is more theoretical in nature and deals mainly with software creation, or computer engineering, which focuses more on the design of computer hardware.\n\nIn business, information systems support business processes and operations, decision-making, and competitive strategies.

infrastructure\n\nThe fundamental structure of a system or organization. The basic, fundamental architecture of any system (electronic, mechanical, social, political, etc.) determines how it functions and how flexible it is to meet future requirements.\n\nMay refer to system and development programs in contrast to applications. A computer system's infrastructure would include the operating system, database management system (DBMS), communications protocols, compilers and other development tools.

They can all be the same but management information is typically structured data about a business.  Decision support would be data specific to a specific business problem and expert systems would be an ongoing system used to provide answers to a business process such as underwriting insurance policies.
