    Hi, the main purpose of Computer aided DSS is to process and present the data in such a way that it can be used to make strategeic decisions. It can be as simple a software as Microsoft Excel or as complex as a SAP report. The software and its componenets will depend on the sector, application, amount of data and what kind of decision support is required.Hope this helps. All the best!

    DSS is only a tool that helps Strategic decissions for Top Managers. It helps taking strategic decissions though the decissions have to be made by the Executives/Top managers in MIS.
