Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IT (Information Technology) is the field that deals with the development, use, and maintenance of computer systems, networks, and software, which are used for data processing and distribution. MIS (Management Information Systems) deals with the use of IT systems in organizations for the processing and management of information. DSS (Decision Support Systems) and ESS (Executive Support Systems) are types of software applications used in organizations to support decision-making and strategic planning, respectively. While these systems may use IT, they are not directly involved in the development, maintenance, and use of computer systems, software, and networks, which is the primary focus of IT.
