Management and Information Systems work to maintain and organize information through technology. It is becoming a more and more popular field as technology advances, and the popularity of “web access” or “online communities” rises. Disney for example, launched a website for users to update their personal experiences at Disney. This allows Disney to not only gain more recognition as a brand, but it also indirectly allows them to make profit.

 Another similar company that just launched its first “debut” in Canada is Netflix. They work alike to pay per view or video on demand, however, instead of paying per movie you see, it charges you by month for access to numerous movies and shows. It is only offered online in Canada, and this conveys the importance of using technology to gain profits. The use of technology is successful because of its convenience and is one of the fastest ways to advertise. By examining the response of users through technology, companies are able to decide upon what the next steps are to expanding their business. The use of Management and Information Systems is essential now, and even more in the future when technology is even more advanced.
