Management Information System (MIS) arose from the key element of assisting management of an
organisation or enterprise in capturing, processing, storage and retireval of relevant, up-to-date and
demand driven data and information for management functions including follow up on the daily
actitvities of the entity. This became absolutely necessary with the introduction of computers or with
the development of a computer supported working environment. Since most functions and activities
of an organisation are carried out or assisted with the increasing use and application of computers in
either a standalone, local or wide area network with several layers of staff in any enterprise, there is
increasing need to capture, process and retrieve data/information to the different layers of
management to allow them carry out decisions and other related management functions, thus the
term MIS. Now since the environment is collaborative ie 'shared' for example in the field of education
where there are managers, policy makers, teachers, and students, this certainly demands the
exchange and sharing of vital information amongst the many players in either the execution of
duties, policy direction and further to furnish data and information to guide in decision making and to
yield valuable statistics on eg studend enrolment, course schedules, admissions, examinations,
recruitment, promotions and provision of exam results. This calls for the collaborative envrionment
and the creation of either a local, wide or virtual information/electronic network to facilitate the
creation of joint databases, platforms and hubs of data/information that could easily feed and serve
all the people involved in the field of education. This would certainly have several querries/search
engines for the relevant information from all the stakeholders. MIS has over the years increasingly
grown to include almost all the functions/areas of management of an enterprise in all fields of
knowledge and practice. Therefore MIS efficiently and effectively works in a computer assisted
environmnent unlike those days when paper records were the mode of communication and storage
of data/information. Records management in the olden days used paper based storage and
processing facilities that had a lot of disadvantages including huge volumes of data/lack of storage
space and difficulty in retrieval of relevant information. Thus the advent of the computer facilitated
the use of electronic information processing/management that eventually led to the development of
MIS in today's modern management portfolios. Collobration amongst all stakeholders has been
greatly augmented with the increasing use, application and promotion of computer-based
environments where speed, accuracy, retrieval and computational aspects of information processing
have benefited. Therfore the use of MIS in the field of education cannot be overemphasised since
this applies to almost all the fields of knowledge and practice the world over.
