Management Information Systems, I think.
- andybak 3y agoI do so love playing guessing games for every comment I read.
- bigbillheck 3y agoI don't think it's reasonable to expect people here to cater to a least common denominator of comprehension.
- paganel 3y agoNothing “least common denominator of comprehension” about not knowing what that acronym means. I also didn’t know.
- nirvdrum 3y agoThat's fine. But, communication is a skill and like all skills, can be improved. For my part, this is the first time I can remember seeing MIS used in the wild (i.e., not in university). Given the tech industry's propensity for overloading initialisms and redefining terms, I have to go by context to work out the meaning. In this case, the context was insufficient. I suppose I could just dismiss the comment, but curiosity got the better part of me. I'm glad someone asked. I also had to search what "4GL" means. I'm assuming this top Wikipedia hit [1] is what the OP meant. I don't know if it's reasonable to expect people to know these terms. But, the concise text is not saving anyone beyond the OP any appreciable amount of time, so what's its value?

- KolenCh 3y agoSpeaking of which I never fully understand the meaning of OP. It seems there’s a few semantic ranges there and people sometimes use OP standing for slightly different things.
- andybak 3y agoYes but unless I'm a extreme outlier "MIS" is not part of the common denominator.
