This document provides an overview of management information systems (MIS), transaction processing systems (TPS), and online transaction processing (OLTP) systems. It defines MIS as systems that provide predefined reports and displays to support business decision making using internal and external data. TPS are cross-functional systems that process business transactions like sales, purchases, payments. OLTP systems allow real-time processing of transactions over networks to provide superior customer service and differentiate businesses. An example of an OLTP system from Syntellect that processes pay-per-view orders from customers is also described.
