What are the functions of information systems in a multinational corporation? (e.g. HSBC)?

Answer 1

Within a corporation the informational system will give you access to major lists of clients, vendors, forms, pertaining rules and regulations, reporting requirements, currency exchange rates, import/export/customs specifications, financial status, goals and objectives, business history, staff benefits, budget forecasts, product specifications, business materials, purchases, shipping, clearance and customs regulations. All this to meet and abide by laws and statutes for international trade. In life there are rules. A multinational corporation's informational system provides the path in which to follow those rules on the corporation's terms.
