Functional information system

A functional information system is a system that supports a functional area in an organization.

Functional areas like accounting, finance, general management, human resources, etc. are associated with support activities that include the firm's infrastructure, human resource management, technology development, and procurement.

Other functional areas like material management, operations, marketing, and services are associated with primary activities such as: inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing and sales, and service. 3

Logic of building information systems in accordance with the organizational hierarchy structure.

Information systems traditionally have been built in accordance with an organization’s hierarchy structure to reflect how information flows up the hierarchy and how control of data has been directed down through the organization.

Most of today’s systems have exploited this structural hierarchy. In some situations, the functional systems do replicate the processing of information at various layers of the organization.
