SYSTEM

ANALYSIS

DESIGN

What is System?
an organized set of related components

established to accomplish a certain task

Computer system a system that has a computer as one of its components

What is Analysis?
Studying

an existing system to determine how it works and how it meets users needs
Typically happens as a result of some impetus for change, combined with the authority to make the change

What is System Analysis (SA)?

The dissection of a system into its

component pieces to study how those component pieces interact and work.

System Analyst
Systems analyst performs analysis

and design
May perform some programming as well

Key Ideas
Many failed systems were abandoned because analysts

tried to build wonderful systems without understanding the organizations. The primarily goal is to create the value for the organization. The key person, who analyzing the business, identifying opportunities for improvement and designing information system to implement these ideas. It is important to understand and develop through practice the skills needed to successfully design and implement new information systems.

Need for System Analysis and Design

Installing a system without proper planning leads to great user dissatisfaction and frequently causes the system to fall into disuse Lends structure to the analysis and design of information systems
A series of processes systematically undertaken to improve a business through the use of computerized information systems

Types of Systems

Continued
A system analyst may be involved with any or all of these systems at each organization level.

Transaction Processing System (TPS)

It is the most oldest computer based IS.
It is a process of large amounts of data for routine

business transactions. Support the day-to-day operations of the company

Example: Payroll Processing, Inventory Management.

Office Automation System. (OAS)

Supports data workers who share information, but do not

usually create new knowledge Examples: Word processing, Spreadsheets etc.

Knowledge Work System (KWS)

Supports professional workers such as scientists, engineers, and

doctors
Examples: computer-aided design systems, virtual reality systems, investment workstations

Management Information System (MIS)

To supports data worker who share information but do not usually create new knowledge. Example: Word processing, Spreadsheets, Desktop publishing, Email Electronic scheduling, Communication through voice mail, Email, Video

Decision Support System (DSS)

Aids decision makers in the making of decisions Examples: financial planning with what-if analysis, budgeting with modeling

Expert System (ES)

Captures and uses the knowledge of an expert for solving a particular problem which leads to a conclusion or recommendation. Examples: MYCIN (an early xpert system that used artificial intelligence ; XCON (eXpert CONfigurer)

Executive Support System (ESS)

Helps executives to make unstructured strategic

decisions in an informed way

Examples: drill-down analysis, status access

Group Decision Support System (GDSS)

Permit group members to interact with electronic

support
Examples: email, Lotus Notes

Computer-Supported Collaborative Work System (CSCWS)

CSCWS is a more general term of GDSS. It may include

software support called groupware for team collaboration via network computers. Example: video conferencing, Web survey system

SDLC

Implementation Training Conversion Evaluation Maintenance

Preliminary Investigation Or feasability study Problem Definition

Development and testing. Scheduling Programming

Ongoing Activities Project Management Documentation Information Gathering.

Analysis Gather data Analyze data Develop requirements

Design Preliminary design Detail design

Preliminary investigation or feasibility study

The SDLC phase during which the formal

identification and selection of a development project and formal initiation of a preliminary investigation to determine the feasibility of proceeding with the project are conducted.
