A decision support system (DSS) allows decision-makers to interact with both databases and analysis models to help them make informed decisions. DSSs provide analytical tools and one of the ways they differ from transaction processing systems is by their ability to allow a more interactive and exploratory approach to querying data. Expert systems are designed to provide recommendations, advice, or problem solving based on a set of rules or knowledge base. A marketing information system focuses specifically on gathering and analyzing data related to marketing decisions, while "information load" is not a term commonly used in the field of information systems.
