![]() Hi guys its Caoimhe here, welcome to our final week of blogposts! We hope that you’ve all enjoyed our posts so far! So, in today’s post I’m going to be discussing the data involved in information systems. A basic system is a set of interrelated parts that work together to accomplish a purpose.

In this blogpost, we are going to focus on the data that is involved in information systems. The data component falls under the collective heading of technology when describing an information system. Both hardware and software are also included in this category. Data can be defined as “the raw bits and pieces of information with no context” (Pressbooks, 2014). Data by itself is of no use but when inputted into an information system it can provide us with great knowledge and information. Data can be used in organisations in decision making, creating policies and in improving the general business. In relation to MECCA and the systems we have chosen, there are different types of data that would apply to each system.
In conclusion, the data is the raw information entered into a system in order to be converted into useful knowledge. We hope you enjoyed today’s blogpost! Thanks for reading!! Caoimhe J References
