What the Management Information Systems Specialist family covers
Management Information Systems Specialist is a single-title family in the New Jersey civil service classification plan: one title code, with no numbered rungs above or below it. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
New Jersey's technology titles carry the sediment of several eras at once. Newer families cover software development, network administration and database work, while older ones still name data processing, automated typewriters and input and output control. The Office of Information Technology holds most of the modern posts, but agencies keep their own analysts. Information processing titles are the second group in the compendium eligible for advanced-step hiring, which is the state's standing acknowledgement that it cannot fill them at step one.
