Abstract— The purpose of this study is to help NAMCOL identify the impact of Management Information Systems (MIS) on organisation performance. In the competitive environment where organisations operate in, organisations need to evaluate the implementation of management information systems to quantify their impacts on the organisational performance. The study consisted of 33 employees from the supervisory and management cadre of Namibian College of Open Learning through a mixed method approach for data collection and analysis. The study found that there is a significant relationship between the three independent variables which are technology, organisation management and organisation structure with the dependent variable which is organisational performance. The ANOVA results for all three hypothesis tests show a significance level of 0.000 which means that the results for the organisation, technology, management and organisational performance have a positive significant relationship.

I.INTRODUCTION
It is evident that information, communication, and technology have transformed the way things are being done and it plays a vital role in education. Technology aids governments in the delivery of educational programs and in developing the programs. Data and information are important assets of an organisation and thus requires adequate administration and management for an organisation to reap the benefits. Management information systems are vital tools in organisations, they are required to manage the data and information in an organised and managed manner.
Educational institutions globally have implemented various strategies to manage and administer their teaching and learning data [1][2]. The study by [3] highlighted the importance and impact of management information systems on studies conducted at the universities in Turkey and Jordan. Similarly [4] emphasized that the role of management information systems has positive impact on the organisation’s performance.
