Decision Support System

A decision support system (DSS) improve operational efficiency and business performance by enhancing the ability of stakeholders to make faster, smarter decisions based on information, rather than gut instinct alone.

A decision support system (DSS) is a specific class of computerized information system that supports business and organizational decision-making activities. Properly designed decision support systems are interactive software-based systems intended to help decision-makers compile useful information from raw data, documents, personal knowledge, and/or business models to identify and solve problems and make business decisions.
