An executive information system (EIS) is a type of management information system that provides executives and senior managers with easy access to relevant information from both internal and external sources to support their decision-making processes. EIS typically includes features such as data visualization tools, key performance indicators, and drill-down capabilities to allow executives to quickly analyze and understand complex data. EIS is designed to provide executives with a comprehensive view of the organization's performance and help them make strategic decisions based on real-time information.
