ELPROMIS, a management information system (MIS) is a system or process that provides the information necessary to manage large electrical projects effectively. ELPROMIS is configured for a particular project to capture inputs from the ground level executers, process it into usable information, and disseminating it to users in the form needed. The reports, alarms, time line based progress reports that it generates enables the management to take timely decisions to reduce time and cost overruns.

To function effectively as an interacting, interrelated, and interdependent feedback tool for management and staff, an MIS must be "useable." The five elements of a useable MIS system are: timeliness, accuracy, consistency, completeness and relevance. The usefulness of MIS is hindered whenever one or more of these elements are compromised

To simplify prompt decision-making, an MIS should be capable of providing and distributing current information to appropriate users. Information systems should be designed to expedite reporting of information. The system should be able to quickly collect and edit data, summarize results, and be able to adjust and correct errors promptly.

A sound system of automated and manual internal controls must exist throughout all information systems processing activities. Information should receive appropriate editing, balancing, and internal control checks.
A comprehensive internal and external audit program should be employed to ensure the adequacy of internal controls.

To be reliable, data should be processed and compiled consistently and uniformly. Variations in how data is collected and reported can distort information and trend analysis. In addition, because data collection and reporting processes will change over time, management must establish sound procedures to allow for systems changes. These procedures should be well defined and documented, clearly communicated to appropriate employees, and should include an effective monitoring system.

Decision makers need complete and pertinent information in a summarized form. Reports should be designed to eliminate clutter and voluminous detail, thereby avoiding "information overload."

Information provided to management must be relevant. Information that is inappropriate, unnecessary, or too detailed for effective decision-making has no value. MIS must be appropriate to support the management level using it. The relevance and level of detail provided through MIS systems directly correlate to what is needed by the board of directors, executive management, departmental or area mid-level managers, etc. in the performance of their jobs.
