ABSTRACT

Management information Systems (MIS), sometimes referred to as InformationManagement and Systems, are the discipline covering the application of people,

technologies, and procedures collectively called information systems to solvingbusiness problems. Management Information Systems are distinct from regularinformation systems in that they are used to analyze other information systems appliedin operational activities in the organization. Academically, the term is commonly used torefer to the group of information management methods tied to the automation orsupport of human decision making, e.g. Decision Support Systems, Expert systems,and Executive information systems.The terms MISand information system are oftenconfused. Information systems include systems that are not intended for decisionmaking. MIS is sometimes referred to, in a restrictive sense, as information technologymanagement. That area of study should not be confused with computer science. ITservice management is a practitioner-focused discipline. MIS has also some differences

with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as ERP incorporates elements that are notnecessarily focused on decision support.

1. HISTORY

CMC was incorporated on December 26, 1975, as the 'Computer Maintenance

Corporation Private Limited'. The Government of India held 100 per cent of the equityshare capital. On August 19, 1977, it was converted into a public limited company.

In 1978, when IBM wound up its operations in India, CMC took over the maintenance ofIBM installations at over 800 locations around India and, subsequently, maintenance ofcomputers supplied by other foreign manufacturers as well. Taking over the activities ofIBM in India, including many of its employees, helped the company to imbibe a service-oriented culture. This is demonstrated by our long-standing customer associations andour ability to provide high-quality and reliable service.

In 1980, we perceived the need for total IT system solutions in India, and acquired a'solutions' orientation. We aligned our focus with the government's thrust on ITdevelopment activities. A significant milestone in our transition from a hardwaremaintenance company to a complete end-to-end IT solutions provider was 'ProjectInteract' (International Education and Research for Applications of ComputerTechnology), a UN project involving design, development and systems-engineering ofreal-time, computer-based systems dedicated to applications in the areas of powerdistribution, railway freight operations management, and meteorology.

As we evolved along the value chain, CMC forayed into systems integration, interfacing,installation, commissioning, software development, as well as education and training,on a national basis. Our R&D facility was set up in 1982, to undertake competencydevelopment in niche areas in the frontiers of technology, to provide us the cuttingedge. Today, our R&D facility is housed in our Hyderabad campus, and developsadvanced solutions in areas such as real-time systems, embedded systems andpervasive computing.

To reflect our diversified business activities, we renamed ourselves 'CMC Limited', andobtained a fresh certificate of incorporation dated August 27, 1984.



7/25

Following a spurt in the global demand for IT services in the early 1990s, particularly inthe United States, we decided to expand our operations and market our product andservice offerings in these markets. Towards this end, in 1991, we acquired Baton RougeInternational Inc, USA (it was subsequently renamed CMC Americas, Inc, in 2003), oneof the first cross-border acquisitions by an Indian IT firm.

In 1992, the Indian government divested 16.69 per cent of CMC's equity to the GeneralInsurance Corporation of India and its subsidiaries who, in turn, sold part of their staketo the public in 1996. In 1993, CMC's shares were listed on the Hyderabad StockExchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

To service and develop our clientele in the UK and Europe, we opened a branch officein London, in 2000. The next year, the government divested 51 per cent of CMC'sequity to Tata Sons Ltd, through a strategic sale, and CMC became a part of the Tatagroup.

In line with our strategy of offering our products and services globally, in 2003, weopened a branch office in Dubai to tap the hitherto unexplored markets of West Asiaand Africa.

In 2004, the government divested its remaining 26.5 per cent stake in CMC to thepublic.

2. An Overview of the CMC LTD:CMC Limited is a leading IT solutions company and a subsidiary of Tata ConsultancyServices Limited (TCS Ltd), one of the world's leading information technologyconsulting, services and business process outsourcing organizations. We are a part oftheTata group, India's best-known business conglomerate.

With 18 offices, 150 service locations, 520 non-resident locations and over 3,800 employees

worldwide, we provide a wide spectrum of unique Information Technology solutions and

services to a clientele of premier organizations in the government and private sectors.

Large and complex project management capabilitiessince its incorporation in 1975, CMC has an enviable record of successfully building ITsolutions for massive and complex infrastructure and market projects.

Take, for instance, just three of the many major projects undertaken by us:

A passenger ticketing and reservations system for Indian Railways, which runs 6,000passenger trains carrying over 10 million passengers a day, on a 90,000-km railway

network covering around 8,000 railway stations.A cargo handling system is a comprehensive online real time cargo handling systemto integrate all complex and varied activities of container terminals. This system hasbeen implemented for several Indian and International ports.

An online transaction processing system for the Bombay Stock Exchange, whichhandles millions of securities trading transactions every day.

End-to-end solutions capabilityWe manage turnkey projects, and have built, managed and supported our customers' ITsystems across the value chain infrastructure, applications and business processes.

That is because ourcapabilities span the entire IT spectrum: IT architecture; hardware;software (including systems and application software, development or implementation,maintenance, and frameworks); network consulting; and IT-enabled processingservices.

This is how we work:

CMC has designed, developed and implemented amanagement information system (MIS) for this World Bank-funded project in Maharashtra, India

The productMIS: Management Information SystemA comprehensive system for the planning, design, construction, monitoring, operationand maintenance of irrigation schemes

The clientIrrigation Department, Government of MaharashtraThe department controlling water resources in India's most industrialised state

ProjectDevelopment and establishment of management information systems (MIS) for sixselected major irrigation projects under the World Bank-funded Maharashtra CompositeIrrigation Project - III (restructured)

Background

Out of the six selected irrigation projects, three schemes - Kukadi, Bhima and Krishna -are located in the Krishna river basin. The remaining three - Upper Penganga,Majalgaon and Jayakwadi - are located in the Godavari river basin in the state ofMaharashtra.

These six projects are administered by the chief engineer (specified projects), Pune,and the chief engineer (specified projects), Aurangabad. Each of the six projects isadministratively divided into two circles - a project circle, headed by a superintendingengineer and a command area development (CAD) circle, headed by an administrator.Each circle administratively controls four to five divisions, and each division, in turn, hasfour to five sub-divisions.

A special analysis and evaluation cell (SAEC), headed by a superintending engineer,coordinates and interacts with the different project circles, CADA circles and associatedinstitutions like the directorate of irrigation research and development (DIRD), the publicworks department (PWD), the revenue department (resettlement and rehabilitation), thequality control organisation and the agriculture department. The roles of the associatedinstitutions have been specified by the state irrigation department.
