解析：
管理信息系统给企业管理者做各种决定所需要的信息。早期的商用电脑用于简单的操作如跟踪库存、结算、销售或小型的工资数据。随着时间的推移，这些计算机的应用程序变得更加复杂，硬件存储容量的增长，需要改善连接这些先前孤立应用程序之间的技术。随着越来越多的数据存储和链接，管理者寻求更抽象以及更详细的目标，从原材料和存储的数据中创造更显著的管理报告。起初，“MIS”描述为管理者提供信息，这将有助于管理企业销售、存货和其他数据的应用程序。随着时间的推移，这个词逐步扩大到包括决策支持系统、资源管理和人力资源管理、企业资源规划(ERP)、企业绩效管理(EPM)、供应链管理(SCM)、客户关系管理(CRM)、项目管理库存储和检索应用程序。
