EVOLUTION OF MIS:

Before the concept of MIS was created, computer programmers are just creating applications for

science and for calculations. As computer usage evolved in fields of business and data management, software

applications were need to process non- scientific data. Needed a field of study to bridge the gap between

computer programmers and business world.

Mainframe processing of data:In 1939,Dr. John V. Atanasoff& his asst.Clifford Berry,

constructed first electronic digital computer. This invention led to a career field established as computerscience.

ENIAC computer (1944): ENIAC played a role in development of atomic bomb. Developed for applying

computers in other areas of education, business and every day life.

Creation of Business Applications for Industry:In1952, the evolving punch card system created by

IBM would change the way Govt, business & education would perceive the way that data way to be processed.

In late 1950s and 1960s computers would start to integrate into other areas of society, accounting, retail sales,

transportation and online services would benefit from the advent and use of computers.

Creation of MIS field (1970):Still a language problem between programmers and business people

who wanted certain applications developed for their business. The idea was to create Workforce who couldbridge the communication & technical gaps between management & computer programmers.

MIS network:From 1980 to present, there has been an explosion of technology in field of IS. The

concept of MIS has expanded to include data mining, data retrieved sciences, and technology used in every

day devices. Computers have assisted centuries into information age by merging concept through various MIS

applications
