Management information systems (MIS) focus on using business technology to solve business problems and support business functions, while information technology (IT) is concerned with managing and processing information using technology. MIS is typically a department within a business, while IT involves the relationship between people, information, and technology. Data becomes information when it is organized into a meaningful context, and business intelligence uses applications and technologies to support decision making, such as determining the most profitable products.
