Decision Support Systems

Decision Support Systems (DSS) are interactive, computerized information systems that lend support to the decision making process. There are five specific types of decision support systems:

1. Communications-driven: A DSS that emphasizes communications, collaboration and shared decision-making support.

2. Data-driven: A DSS that emphasizes access to and manipulation of a time-series of internal company data and occasionally, external data.

3. Document-driven: A relatively new form of DSS that is focused on the retrieval and management of unstructured documents.

4. Knowledge-driven: A DSS that suggests or recommends actions to managers through expertise or knowledge about a particular domain, understanding of problems within that domain, and skill at solving some of these problems.

5. Model-driven: A DSS that emphasizes access to and manipulation of statistical, financial, optimization and/or simulation models.
