Chapter 4

Key Definitions
The As-Is system is the current system and may or may not be computerized
The To-Be system is the new system that is based on updated requirements

Key Ideas
The goal of the analysis phase is to truly understand the requirements of the new system and develop a system that addresses them -- or decide a new system isn’t needed.The line between systems analysis and systems design is very blurry.

Three Steps of the Analysis Phase
Understanding the “As-Is” systemIdentifying improvement opportunitiesDeveloping the “To-Be” system concept

Three Fundamental Analysis Strategies
Business process automation (BPA)Business Process Improvement (BPI)Business Process Reengineering (BPR)

Identifying Improvements in As-Is Systems
Problem AnalysisAsking users to identify problemsRarely finds significant monetary benefits
Root Cause AnalysisPrioritizing problemsTracing symptoms to their causes

BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
![Page 14: Systems Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815a7a550346895dc7e2fe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Duration Analysis
Calculate time needed for each process stepCalculate time needed for overall processCompare the twoDevelop process integration or parallelization
![Page 15: Systems Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815a7a550346895dc7e2fe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Activity-Based Costing
Calculate cost of each process stepConsider both direct and indirect costsIdentify most costly steps and focus improvement efforts on them

Benchmarking
Studying how other organizations perform the same business processInformal benchmarking
Check with customersFormal benchmarking
Establish formal relationship with other organization

Business Process Reengineering
Radical redesignof business processes
![Page 19: Systems Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815a7a550346895dc7e2fe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Outcome Analysis
Consider desirable outcomes from customers’ perspectiveConsider what the organization could enable the customer to do
![Page 20: Systems Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815a7a550346895dc7e2fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Breaking Assumptions
Identify fundamental business rulesSystematically break each ruleIdentify effects on the business if rule is broken

Technology Analysis
Analysts list important and interesting technologiesManagers list important and interesting technologiesThe group identifies how each might be applied to the business

Activity Elimination
Identify what would happen if each organizational activity were eliminatedUse “force-fit” to test all possibilities
![Page 23: Systems Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815a7a550346895dc7e2fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Proxy Benchmarking
List similar industriesLook for techniques from other industries that could be applied by the organization

Process Simplification
Eliminate complexity from routine transactionsConcentrate separate processes on exception handling

Avoiding Classic Analysis Mistakes
Reducing analysis timeRequirement gold-plating
User over-specification of featuresDeveloper gold-plating
Too many “cool” featuresLack of user involvement
