Decision Support System (DSS) are essential to decision-making processes in all levels of organizations. The systems help users analyze information and make informed decisions based on a variety of data, information and processes in the organization. Current organization information systems, such as Transaction Information systems (TIS) or Management Information Systems (MIS), do not includes data analysis or reporting mechanism that provides the managers the require support they need for decision making.

Analysis and decision-making processes can be based on DSS (Decision Support System) or based on real-time data in the various processes and then called Online Analytical Processing (OLAP).

Each decision support system uses data from both internal and external sources. Internal data sources may include sales orders, material requirements planning results, serial records or financial data from accounting and financial analysis. External data may include interest rates, population trends, new housing construction costs, or raw material pricing.

Some decision support systems include their own query languages, statistics analytics, spreadsheets, and graphics that help users retrieve data and analyze results. Managers should also be allowed to create a model of the factors that influence a decision. A product manager may decide on a price for a new product. A simple model for finding the best price will include expected sales volume factors at different price levels. The model allows the user to ask if-then questions and view the expected results. The course will introduce the various methods for receiving recommendations from the system, architecture of the different decision support systems, development of decision support system, through the use of customized building tools and integration of decision support systems.
