Answer to Question 1

A workgroup information system is an information system that is shared by a group of people for a particular purpose. For example, at a physicians' partnership, doctors, nurses, and staff use information systems to manage patient appointments, keep patient records, schedule in-office procedures and equipment, and facilitate other workgroup activities. Workgroup information systems that support a particular department are sometimes called departmental information systems. An example is the accounts payable system that is used by the accounts payable department. Other workgroup information systems support a particular business function and are called functional information systems. An example of a functional system is a Web storefront. Typically workgroup systems support 10 to 100 users. The procedures for using them must be understood by all members of the group. Often, procedures are formalized in documentation, and users are sometimes trained in the use of those procedures. When problems occur, they almost always can be solved within the group.
