MIS = Management Information Systems. These systems are supposed to help managers make decisions by providing reports summarising operational level data. MIS can be further condensed to provide Strategic Information Systems to the people at the top of the company. The Information Systems Department can implement and support these systems. |

This has been a big question where i work for many years. First it was user support, this had to change because people didn't like being called users. Then it was IS, this time people felt the name didn't really say that we actually did any work. Next IS support, then IT, followed by IT support. At every turn our image as a department dropped because people didn't know what we did (not much, in those days at least). Consultant arrived, with flip charts and reports. They told us computers provide a service, that helps the company provide a service. The consultants left. and we became 'Service support' and have been for nearly four years. Oh and we call our 'users' customers now too. Damn cleaver these consultants. I digress. the answer is we made our users feel like paying customers making us more valued. |

"Please, only serious replies." Perhaps the non-serious replies indicate something about the question. What makes you think there is a "best" name? And what problem are you trying to solve? That surely is relevant to what is "best". |
