Note that the orthodoxy represented in this document is not universally shared. It is, rather, the social vision of the Utilitarian philosophers at last fully realized in the computer. Information Systems is a particular discipline, or branch of learning. It is concerned with the application of information to organisational needs.

Information systems is derivative from a wide variety of disciplines.
