A computer system is really just the hardware system.
The information system is a combination of the computers hardware and the software applications that manipulate, analyze, read and write data.

The term information system has the following meanings:
1. A system, whether automated or manual, that comprises people, machines, and/or methods organized to collect, process, transmit, and disseminate data that represent user information.
2. RAW DATA + PROCESS = MEANINGFUL INFORMATION. This concept where Raw Data which has hardly any meaning is Processed and the Outcome which results in Meaningful information is simply understood as the Information System. For example adding of two numbers. The two numbers are just Raw Data that mean nothing for a start but the addition process when applied to the two numbers will result in a meaningful answer. Thus Information systems are born where syetems are created and put into place to filter raw data to produce sensible information.
3. Any telecommunications and/or computer related equipment or interconnected system or subsystems of equipment that is used in the acquisition, storage, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of voice and/or data, and includes software, firmware, and hardware
Therefore an info system may be a computer, a book, a person or anything else.
