Information sytems is a scientific field of study that involves the gathering, processing, distributing, storing and applying of information in businesses, organizations, industry, not-for-profit organizations and government agencies. It also often refers to the interaction between step-by-step mathematical processes and technology. This interaction can occur within or across organizational boundaries. Information systems are not only the type of technology an organization uses, but the way in which the organization interacts with the technology within the organization's business processes. It differs from IT (Information Technology) in that an information system has an information technology component that interacts with the processes components.
