From the web:
Short for management information system or management information services, and pronounced as separate letters, MIS refers to a class of software that provides managers with tools for organizing and evaluating their department. Typically, MIS systems are written in COBOL and run on mainframes or minicomputers.
Within companies and large organizations, the department responsible for computer systems is sometimes called the MIS department. Other names for MIS include IS (Information Services) and IT (Information Technology).

Carrry on foing the good work ;-)

What I'd like to know is...exactly how can you be the MIS Director and not know what it means...?
 
in a world full of acronyms, i am sure if the CEO came to him and asked what MIS stood for, he would be SOL if he didn't know WTH it means, IMHO...
 
about 3 months ago my manager told me my contract had been changed and my job is not Network Manager anymore, its "systems administrator and MIS Director" so i asked him what the difrence was, and he said no diffrence just a better job tittle and more pay, fine with me!, i just had to keep doing what i was doing.

and for gods sake it was ment to be DOING it was very late at night and i have got a new keyboard which has the keys split in half, its ment to be a Natral Keyboard, im still getting used to it.
