Quiz 1

Ramos, Aldrich A. Course/Year: BSIE 4B

Information Systems (IS) are a critical aspect of modern business operations. Organizations have
several options to choose from when it comes to utilizing IS services. These options include:
1. In-House IS: This is when an organization develops and maintains its own IS
infrastructure and resources. This option allows organizations to have complete control
over their IS and tailor it to their specific needs. However, it also requires a significant
investment in terms of resources and personnel.
2. Outsourced IS: This is when an organization chooses to outsource its IS needs to a third-
party provider. Outsourcing allows organizations to access specialized expertise and
resources that they may not have in-house. It also allows them to save on costs associated
with maintaining an in-house IS. However, outsourcing also comes with risks, such as
loss of control over IS and potential data security issues.
3. Cloud-Based IS: Cloud-based IS involves using IS services that are delivered over the
internet. This option allows organizations to access IS resources on demand, and pay only
for what they use. Cloud-based IS also eliminates the need for organizations to invest in
and maintain their own IS infrastructure. However, it also comes with security and data
privacy concerns.
4. Hybrid IS: This is a combination of in-house, outsourced, and cloud-based IS.
Organizations can use a hybrid approach to take advantage of the best features of each
option. For example, they can use cloud-based IS for certain services, while maintaining
an in-house IS for others.
5. IS as a Service (ISaaS): ISaaS is a cloud-based service that allows organizations to access
IS services on a subscription basis. This option allows organizations to access IS
resources on demand and pay only for what they use. ISaaS also eliminates the need for
organizations to invest in and maintain their own IS infrastructure.
In conclusion, organizations have several options to choose from when it comes to utilizing IS
services. Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, and organizations should
carefully consider their specific needs and resources before making a decision. With the right
approach, organizations can leverage IS to gain a competitive edge and improve their operations.
