How Business Uses InformationSystems
In past, IT managers divided systems into categories based on the user group the system served– Office systems– Operational systems– Decision support systems– Executive information systems
![Page 18: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
How Business Uses Information Systems
Today, it makes more sense to identify a system by its functions, rather than by users – Enterprise computing systems– Transaction processing systems– Business support systems– Knowledge management systems– User productivity systems
![Page 19: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
How Business Uses Information Systems
Enterprise computing systems– Support company-wide
operations and data management requirements
Transaction processing systems– Efficient because they process a
set of transaction-related commands as a group rather than individually
![Page 20: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

How Business Uses Information Systems
Business support systems– Provide job-related information
to users at all levels of a company
– Management information systems (MIS)
– Radio frequency identification (RFID)
– What-if
![Page 21: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
How Business Uses Information Systems
Knowledge management systems– Called expert systems– Simulate human reasoning by combining a knowledge
base and inference rules– Many use fuzzy logic
![Page 22: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
How Business Uses Information Systems
User productivity systems– Technology that improves productivity– Groupware
Information systems integration– Most large companies require systems that combine
transaction processing, business support, knowledge management, and user productivity features
![Page 23: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

28
Systems Development Methods
Structured Analysis– Systems development life cycle (SDLC)– Predictive approach– Uses a set of process models to describe a system
graphically– Process-centered technique
![Page 29: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Systems Development Methods
Object-oriented Analysis– O-O analysis combines data & processes into objects– Object is a member of a class– Objects possess properties– Methods change an object’s properties– A message requests specific behavior or information
from another object
![Page 30: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development Project
In addition to selecting a development method, system developers also must create a plan or model for the many tasks that will be required
Typically, the development team will use project management tools to help achieve the end result
![Page 31: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development ProjectComparison of Predictive and Adaptive
Models– The SDLC usually is referred to as the waterfall model
![Page 32: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development ProjectThe SDLC Waterfall Model
– Disadvantage in the built-in structure of the SDLC, because the waterfall model does not emphasize interactivity among the phases
– This criticism can be valid if the SDLC phases are followed too rigidly
– However, adjacent phases usually interact
![Page 33: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development Project
The SDLC Waterfall Model– Usually includes five steps
• Systems planning• Systems analysis• Systems design• Systems implementation• Systems operation, support, and security
![Page 34: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development Project
Systems planning– Systems request– Purpose of this phase is to perform a preliminary
investigation whose key part is a feasibility study
Systems Analysis– First step is requirements modeling– End product is the System requirements document
![Page 35: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development Project
Systems Design– Identify all outputs, inputs, and processes– End product is system design specification
Systems Implementation– New system is constructed– Users, managers, IT staff trained to operate and
support the system– System evaluation performed
![Page 36: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development Project
Systems Operation, Support, and Security– A well-designed system must be secure, reliable,
maintainable, and scalable– After several years of operation, systems need
extensive changes – SDLC ends with system replacement
![Page 37: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development Project
Adaptive Methods and Models– Attempt to develop a system incrementally, by
building a series of prototypes and constantly adjusting them to user requirements
– Extreme Programming (XP)– Analysts should recognize that these approaches
have advantages and disadvantages
![Page 38: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development Project
Joint Application Development and Rapid Application Development Methods and Models– Joint application development (JAD)– Rapid application development (RAD)
Other Development Methods and Models– Rational Unified Process (RUP®)– Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF)
![Page 39: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Planning and Modeling a Systems Development Project
The Importance of Project Management– Regardless of the development strategy, people,
tasks, timetables, and expenses must be managed effectively
– Complex projects can involve dozens of people, hundreds of tasks, and many thousands of dollars
![Page 40: Chap 1 Intro to Systems Analysis and Design](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb83550346aa9aaddb14/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
