A decision support system (DSS) is a computerized platform that integrates analytical models, data repositories, and interactive interfaces to offer actionable recommendations to managerial users. Unlike conventional information systems (IS) or management information systems (MIS), a DSS goes beyond merely supplying data, reports, or databases—it actively generates solutions to user inquiries via its modeling capabilities. Fundamentally, a DSS serves as a digital tool that assists executives in their decision-making processes.
