Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A decision support system (DSS) is a computerized tool that helps decision-makers make more informative decisions by sorting through and summarizing complex data. It takes raw data and transforms it into more useful information, allowing decision-makers to analyze it and make more informed decisions. While numerical data may be included, DSS can also incorporate qualitative and non-numeric data as well. DSS can also utilize data warehouses, but it is not limited to organizing incoming information. Databases can also be stored in other types of systems besides a DSS. Lastly, a DSS is not exclusively used for linking computers within a company.
