Modern organisations usually have a wealth of information latent in their systems. MIS techniques provide ways to translate that information into views that enable better decision making.

In recent times organisations have had enviable amounts of data on which to manage their processes and make strategic decisions. Data is captured from all points internally in the business processes from sales to dispatch and also vertically through the sector supply chain.

The shear deluge of data from such disparate sources can often make managing or basing decision on it tricky. Custom MIS systems reach deep into the data assets of an organisation and provide rich reports and tracking systems based by aggregating data and applying business rules to the interpretation.

These reports can take many forms. A popular interface is a traffic signal based economic indicators that provide real time data on things like expenditure, profit margins and accounting ratios. Danger signs move from green amber and red. Most MIS systems if this type (frequently called management dashboards) also provide more detailed information when the system signals danger.

Other MIS systems are business process based and can track the performance of manufacturing processes or workflows with organisations. These might show progress of manufacturing from parts deliveries to finished products and highlight bottlenecks along the way or track orders from placement through to dispatch.

MIS systems assist management in ensuring the smooth operation of companies and regular use can give valuable feedback on which to base strategic decisions about the company.

Nexus can look at the systems currently employed by a company and isolate the data sources needed to reconcile into the MIS. We can then interfacing with a broad spectrum of software languages, systems and architectures and combine the data in them with real time business rules to create powerful dashboards.

Our systems are embedded deeply into organisations’ data infrastructure within the organisations like the MOD (performance tracking of the Typhoon Eurofighter) and The London Borough of Southwark (spending tracking across the borough). Many Nexus MIS systems are integrated with existing intranet systems.
