What is an • The term can refer to individual pieces of software for analyzing and
organizing data – the traditional definition – or more broadly to the vast
networks of data processing applications accessed by large numbers of
information stakeholders, such as a digital library. Engineering managers can make use
of both types of tools.
• As projects have grown more complex, with heavier regulations, more
system, engaged stakeholders, and tighter budgets, information systems have

become increasingly essential on a number of levels.
