Information systems is not necessarily be computer-based. Before the computer era, we have existing information systems based on paperwork and proper indexing tools. These systems are, however, less effective than the current computer-based information systems.
Software suites are software packages that include at least two different software applications for different purposes, but are related and can have information sharing. A good example is the Microsoft Office Suite, that includes word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications.
Advantages of software suite are as follows:
1. code sharing among common modules, hence reducing the duplication of application code.
2. With shared code, applications within the suite can call-up functions of another application, thus enhanced the interoperability of the suite.
3. More cost-effective to buy a software suite than to buy each product separately.
Disadvantages:
1. Not all applications within the suite are necessary to us.
2. Substantially higher price to buy a software suite than to buy a single software application.

是"must"，不是"mest"。“Disscuss this statement.”這句說話的意思，不是單單叫你描述，而是要求你好像與其他人做discussion一樣，要正反兩面的討論為甚麼這句statement是對還是錯。所以，只要你的解釋合理，就可以有分。不過，不可以一面倒的只說贊成或反對，而是要兩面皆說。

我的回答只是給你一點提示。因為通常discussion一題都有10分。所以，比較重要的是你的回答的結構。若給評卷員的感覺是你的回答沒有條理，那當然會低分了。最後，當然是要睇分做人。如果條Discussion只係得五分，就不會講太多，中point就得。

這樣吧：1. 回答甚麼是information systems，與及information systems的構成。2.然後答：from this definition, information systems can be manual based as well，然後再把manual based的information systems整出來，再講埋manual based的information flow.3. 講述manual based的限制，主要是時間和reliability的問題。4. computer based IS的好處。
