not sure on value but it is a common term. My department at the retail firm I work for was up until a fortnight ago called information systems. We did however change it to IT in a bid to make it appear more up to date in the eyes of the business.
I think IS is still a common term but perhaps its appeal will lessen as more people adopt the more popular IT.
