Snow in 49 States: Snow in 49 out of 50 StatesSince Tuesday the National Weather Service has reported that 49 out of the 50 states in the country has snow on the ground.
The only state without snow is Florida. Even Hawaii has seven inches of snow atop Mauna Kea. A little over 70 percent of the United States is currently covered in snow, which is more than double the number in December.
Meteorologists say that although this is very rare, it has happened before. On Feb. 10, 2010, 49 out of 50 states were white. During that occurrence Hawaii was the odd one out. On Jan. 19, 1977, all states with the exception of South Carolina had snow.http://www.longislandpress.com/2011/01/12/snow-in-49-states-snow-in-49-out-of-50-states/

What I expect you to know by the last class.
The difference between “data” and “information” The difference between “memory” and “storage” The difference between a kilobyte, megabyte,
gigabyte and terabyte The difference between ERP, CRM and SCM
systems

A few suggestions….
Your final grade is based on points – not on an accumulation of grades.
You start the class with zero points and earn your way to your final grade
If you have an issue or problem, communicate – send me an email
If you know you’re not going to meet the deadline for a quiz or assignment – email me BEFORE the deadline
If you miss a deadline on an assignment, turn it in late – partial points will be awarded.

Information System (IS) versus Information Technology (IT)
IS is all the components and resources necessary to deliver information and functions to the organization
IT is hardware, software, networking and data management
In theory, IS could be paper based But we will focus on Computer-Based Information
Systems (CBIS)

What is a system?
A system Is a set of interrelated componentsWith a clearly defined boundaryWorking together to achieve a common set of
objectivesBy accepting inputs and producing outputs in an
organized transformation process
![Page 38: BUSI 240 Introduction to Information Systems Tuesday & Thursday 8:05am – 9:30am Wyant Lecture Hall Please initial the roster on the back table. The course.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649da65503460f94a9171b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Systems have three basic functions:
Input involves capturing and assembling elements that enter the system to be processed
Processing involves transformation process that convert input into output
Output involves transferring elements that have been produced by the transformation process to their ultimate destination
