Operating System and Server Integration for Business Effectiveness

,


INTRODUCTION
Management Information Systems (MIS) play a central role in the transformation and evolution of dynamic business entities [1].In the modern business era, the sustainability of an organization cannot be separated from the use of MIS for efficient data management on a large scale and providing information that is essential for learning and disciplined work [2].MIS is not just a collection of procedures, but rather an entity that collects and produces reliable, relevant and well-organized data, providing essential support for the decision-making process in an organization [3].
The main goal of MIS is to organize data collected from various levels of the company, summarize it, and present it in a way that facilitates and improves the quality of decisions to increase profitability and productivity [4].With its computational foundation, MIS can range from a simple Excel sheet to a complex ❒ E-ISSN: 2715-0461 P-ISSN: 2686-6285 platform.The information obtained and analyzed in SIM comes from various sources, both internal and external [5].
In an academic context, MIS is a scientific discipline that explores the role of computers and computing in the business environment [6].This concept involves broader fields of study than computer science, including Information Systems (IS), Information Technology (IT), Informatics, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering.MIS helps identify the practical and theoretical implications of changes in these areas, making them central to a company's evolution toward greater business effectiveness.In this context, this research focuses on the integration of Operating Systems and Servers to explore how this integration can strengthen MIS, resulting in a positive impact on overall business effectiveness.

RESEARCH METHOD This research uses a qualitative approach to understand in depth the integration between Operating Systems (OS) and Servers in the context of increasing business effectiveness [7].A qualitative approach was chosen to explore a comprehensive understanding of the interactions and impacts of this integration [8].This research was carried out in various companies that have implemented operating system and server integration in their management information systems [9].
The research population consists of companies of varying sizes and business fields, ensuring a holistic representation of various industry sectors [10].Purposive sampling technique was used to select respondents who have experience and in-depth knowledge about implementing operating system and server integration in a business context [11].A number of in-depth interviews will be conducted with IT leaders, system administrators, and staff directly involved in managing the company's information systems [12].
The main research instrument was a semi-structured interview guide developed based on related literature and research objectives [13].Interviews will focus on aspects of operating system and server integration, including the implementation process, obstacles that may be encountered, perceived benefits, and the impact on operational effectiveness and business decisions [14].In addition to interviews, participant observation will also be carried out to gain a more contextual understanding of the integration [15].Data analysis will use an inductive approach, beginning with open coding to identify key themes emerging from interviews and observations [16].Then, the analysis continues with grouping the findings and determining the relationship between the concepts that emerge.The validity and reliability of the research will be strengthened through data triangulation, involving the use of multiple data sources and data collection methods [17].With this approach, this research is expected to provide in-depth insight into the integration of operating systems and servers in increasing business effectiveness [18].

Literature Review
Management Information Systems (MIS) play a central role in supporting operations and decision making in various business entities [19].In this era of digitalization, synergistic integration between the Operating System (OS) and Server is critical for increasing business effectiveness through optimizing data management and hardware resources [20].Previous research has provided a conceptual foundation for the understanding of MIS, OS, and Servers, but the specific integrative linkages between OS and Servers in a business context have not been fully explored [21].
The importance of the OS in supporting the operational continuity of information systems cannot be ignored [22].The OS is responsible for managing hardware resources, providing a user interface, and organizing access to applications [23].Successful integration of OS with Server can strengthen the foundation of SIM, creating an efficient environment for data processing and implementation of business policies [24].
Servers, as central data storage entities, play a vital role in supporting SIM [25].Good integration between OS and Server can improve server performance, ensure organized data storage, and support fast access [26].Previous empirical research shows that business effectiveness can be improved through increasing server reliability and availability [27].
Apart from that, the role of programmers in the context of this integration is essential.Programmers are responsible for developing applications that run on an integrated OS and Server [28].Programmer expertise in understanding OS and Server architecture can speed up the implementation of information technology solutions that support business needs [29].In this literature, the main focus is to explore concepts and findings related to integration between Operating Systems and Servers to increase business effectiveness.Through this literature, it is hoped that an in-depth understanding of the impact of this integration on MIS can be formed, as well as generating strategic and technical potential that can be optimized in the context of modern business development [30].

Moreover, an understanding of the concept of operating system and server integration must be placed within a broader framework, encompassing the latest technology trends [31].Developments such as cloud computing, virtualization, and containerization technologies play an important role in shaping the architecture of modern information systems [32].Successful integration requires adaptability to these innovations, while considering security and reliability challenges that may arise.
A number of literatures indicate that managing the integration of operating systems and servers can make a significant contribution to operational efficiency and system response speed [33].By understanding the close relationship between OS and Server, companies can optimize the performance of their systems, reduce application deployment time, and increase response capacity to rapidly changing business demands [34].
However, challenges and risks are also an integral part of this integration.Data security, regulatory compliance, and potential incompatibility between OS and Server are aspects that need to be carefully considered.Therefore, this literature also explores solutions to these obstacles, highlighting best practices in managing the integration of operating systems and servers to achieve maximum business effectiveness.By considering the contributions of the OS, Server, and the role of the programmer, and integrating an understanding of current technology trends, this research seeks to establish a solid knowledge base to support continued research and practical applications in the field.Management Information Systems (MIS) form the backbone for operational continuity and decision making in the modern business environment.[35] describe MIS as a framework that involves the process of collecting, storing, managing, and distributing information that is essential to support business activities.In its role as a technological foundation, the Operating System (OS) has a crucial role in managing hardware resources and providing an environment that allows applications to operate efficiently.The importance of integration between Operating Systems and Servers is increasingly felt along with advances in information technology.[36] emphasize that this integration is the technological foundation that supports operational continuity, fast data access, and overall system efficiency [37].Servers, as central data stores, and OS, as resource managers, must work synergistically to achieve optimal business effectiveness.This integration forms the basis for the success of Management Information Systems in dealing with the dynamics of the business environment.However, this integration is not without challenges and risks.[38] highlighted data security as a primary focus due to the critical exchange of information between OS and Server.Potential OS and Server version incompatibility is also an operational obstacle that may arise.Therefore, risk management and information security are aspects that cannot be ignored, requiring a holistic approach in implementing this integration to ensure operational success and security.In facing the complexity and dynamics of current technology, the concept of virtualization is becoming increasingly relevant.[39] points out that virtualization allows abstraction from physical hardware, creating a more flexible and manageable environment [40].Meanwhile, containerization technologies, such as Docker, provide solutions to speed up application deployment and increase system scalability.A deep understanding of these concepts enables organizations to meet the challenges of OS and Server integration in an adaptive manner, ensuring operational continuity and responsiveness to technological changes.
