How Business Uses Information Systems
● 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
9 9 9
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
10 10 10
How Business Uses Information Systems
● Enterprise computing systems – Support company-wide operations and data
management requirements – Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
11 11 11
How Business Uses Information Systems
● Transaction processing systems – Efficient because they
process a set of transaction-related commands as a group rather than individually
12 12 12
How Business Uses Information Systems
● Business support systems – Provide job-related
information to users at all levels of a company
– Management information systems (MIS)
– What-if
13 13 13
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
14 14 14
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
15 15 15
Information System Users and Their Needs
● A systems analyst must understand the company’s organizational model in order to recognize who is responsible for specific processes and decisions and to be aware of what information is required by whom
16 16 16
Information System Users and Their Needs
● Top managers ● Middle Managers and Knowledge Workers ● Supervisors and Team Leaders ● Operational Employees ● Strategic plans
17 17 17
Systems Development Tools and Techniques
● Systems analysts must know how to use a variety of techniques such as modeling, prototyping, and computer-aided systems engineering tools to plan, design, and implement information systems
● Systems analysts work with these tools in a team environment
18 18 18
Systems Development Tools and Techniques
● Modeling – Used to describe and simplify an information system: – Business model – Requirements model – Data model – Object model – Network model – Process model
19 19 19
Systems Development Tools and Techniques
● Prototyping – Prototype – Speeds up the development process significantly – Important decisions might be made too early – Can be an extremely valuable tool
20 20 20
Systems Development Tools and Techniques
● Computer-Aided Systems Engineering (CASE) Tools – Framework for systems development and support a
wide variety of design methodologies – CASE tools
21 21 21
Systems Development Methods
● Structured analysis and object-oriented analysis are both popular methodologies for developing computer-based information systems
● A systems analyst should understand the alternative methodologies and their individual strengths and weaknesses
22 22 22
Systems Development Methods
● Structured Analysis – Uses a set of process models to describe a system
graphically – Systems development life cycle (SDLC)
23 23 23
Systems Development Methods
● Object-oriented (O-O) analysis – O-O analysis combines data & processes into objects – Object is a member of a class – Class is a collection of similar objects – Objects possess properties – Methods change an object’s properties – Messages request specific behavior or information
from another object
24 24 24
Systems Development Methods
● Joint Application Development and Rapid Application Development – JAD – Team based fact finding – RAD – compressed version of the entire process
● Other development methodologies – Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF)
25 25 25
The Systems Development Life Cycle
● SDLC used to plan and manage the systems development process
● It includes the following steps: – Systems planning phase – Systems analysis phase – Systems design phase – Systems implementation phase – Systems operation, support, and security phase
– Deliverable or end product
26 26 26
The Systems Development Life Cycle
● Traditionally pictured as a waterfall model, but is also presented as an interactive model depicting real world practice and the constant dialog among users, managers, and systems developers
27 27 27
The Systems Development Life Cycle
● Systems planning (preliminary investigation ) – Purpose is to identify the nature and scope of the
business opportunity or problem – Systems request – begins the process & describes
problems or desired changes – Systems planning includes preliminary investigation
whose key part is a feasibility study
28 28 28
The Systems Development Life Cycle
● Systems Analysis – Purpose is to build a logical model of the new system – First step is requirements modeling, where you
investigate business processes and document what the new system must do
– Second step is data and process modeling – Third step is object modeling – Fourth step is transition to system design – End product is the system requirements document
29 29 29
The Systems Development Life Cycle
● Systems Design – Purpose is to create a blueprint that will satisfy all
documented requirements – Identify all outputs, inputs, and processes – Avoid misunderstanding through manager and user
involvement – End product is systems design specification
30 30 30
The Systems Development Life Cycle
● Systems Implementation – New system is constructed – Write, test, & document programs – File conversion occurs – Users, managers, IT staff trained to operate and
support the system – Systems evaluation performed
31 31 31
The Systems Development Life Cycle
● Systems operation, support, and security – New system supports operations – Maintenance changes correct errors or meet
requirements – Enhancements increase system capability – Well-designed system will be secure, reliable,
maintainable, and scalable
– SDLC ends with system replacement
32 32 32
Systems Development Guidelines
– Planning – Involve users throughout the development process – Listening is very important – Create a time table with major milestones – Identify interim checkpoints – Remain flexible – Develop accurate cost and benefit information
33 33 33
Information Technology Department
● The information technology (IT) department develops and maintains a company’s information systems
● The IT group provides technical support
34 34 34
Information Technology Department
● Application Development – Team may include users, managers and IT staff
members ● Systems Support and Security
– Provides hardware and software support ● User Support
– Provides users with technical information, training, and productivity support
– Help desk
35 35 35
Information Technology Department
● Database Administration – Database design, management, security, backup, and
user access ● Network Administration
– Includes hardware and software maintenance, support, and security
● Web Support – Design and construction of Web pages and presence – Important for e-commerce
– Webmaster
36 36 36
The Systems Analyst Position
● A systems analyst investigates, analyzes, designs, develops, installs, evaluates, and maintains a company’s information systems
● On large projects, the analyst works as a member of an IT department team
● Smaller companies often use consultants to perform the work
37 37 37
Summary
● IT is a combination of hardware and software that support business
● The essential components of an information system are hardware, software, data, processes, and people
● Companies are product-oriented, service-oriented, or a combination of the two
38 38 38
Summary
● Organization structure usually includes levels. Each level has different responsibilities and information needs
● Systems analysts use modeling, prototyping, and CASE tools. Modeling produces a graphical representation of the process, prototyping involves creation of an early working model, and CASE tools assist in various systems development tasks
39 39 39
Summary
● The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) consists of five phases: systems planning, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, and systems operation, support, and security
● Systems analysts need a combination of technical and business knowledge, analytical ability, and communication skills
