Introduction
Information System
• The system development life cycle (SDLC) is the process of understanding how an information system (IS) can support business needs, design the system, developing it and delivering it to users. • The key person in the SDLC is the system analyst who analyzes the business situation, identifies opportunities for improvements and designs an information system to implement them.
An Information System (IS) is such a grouping (people, objects and processes) that provides information about the organisation and its environment. This information should be useful to members and clients of that organisation.

Information Systems (con’t)
Take one example of information system: -Processing of sales orders from customers Grouping People – staff of the company working in sales Objects – records about customers and employees Processes – a check to ensure the customer is creditworthiness Information – customer’s worthiness, whether the products ordered are in stock, total cost of the sales order. Norhanim Selamat & Zehan Afizah Afip @ Afit (PM. Dr. Rosziati Ibrahim)

Environment – important elements outside the organisation. for example the firms’ competitors as well as its customers. Organisation – bank, business, hospital, university, and any other group of people trying to achieve a common objective or ‘working together’.

The Role of Information in Organisations
The Role of Information in Organisations (con’t) • AN ASSET
• A RESOURCE
– can serve as the property of a person or an organisation that contributes to a company’s output. For example, manager view information as an investment that they can use strategically to give the company an advantage over its competitors.
– can serve as an input to the production of outputs. For example, hotel workers and attorneys use information to serve their customers better.

Components of Information Systems
The Role of Information in Organisations (con’t) • A COMMODITY – Companies can also sell information, making it a commodity. For example, publishers of directories, television guides make a profit from selling information.

People End users: the people who use the system or information it produces a source of data which is input into the information system Information systems specialists: the people who develop and operate information systems. e.g. system analyst, developer, tester Norhanim Selamat & Zehan Afizah Afip @ Afit (PM.

Software Systems software This is a set of general programs which manages and controls all of the operations of a computer system so that its use is optimised. An operating system provides the interface to the computer hardware and is the buffer between users and the hardware. Modern trend: support WIMP and ‘post WIMP’. Applications software Software that performs a specific set of tasks related to business functions Software packages and electronic spreadsheets Specific-purpose or bespoke software Referred to asNorhanim ‘tailor-made’ software Selamat & Zehan Afizah Afip @ Afit (PM. Dr. Rosziati Ibrahim)
Data The basis for the informational aspects of the information system and hence is a key element of any IS Data might exist from market intelligence, contacts, product, etc… The information that could be derived from such data: Product prices and costs, delivery of the products/services, target specific promotions and campaigns.

Knowledge Level • Office Automation System (OAS)
• Transaction Processing System (TPS)
– Supports data workers who share information, but do not usually create new knowledge – Examples: Word processing, Spreadsheets, Desktop publishing, Electronic scheduling, Communication through voice mail, Email, Video conferencing
– Process large amounts of data for routine business transactions – Boundary-spanning – Support the day-to-day operations of the company – Examples: Payroll Processing, Inventory Management
• Knowledge Work System (KWS) – Supports professional workers such as scientists, engineers, and doctors – Examples: computer-aided design systems, virtual reality systems, investment workstations

Higher Level
Strategic Level
• Management Information System (MIS)
• Executive Support System (ESS)
– Support a broad spectrum of organizational tasks including decision analysis and decision making – Examples: profit margin by sales region, expenses vs. budgets
• Decision Support System (DSS)
• Computer-Supported Collaborative Work System (CSCWS)
• 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, XCON 19
Integrating New Technologies into Traditional Systems • • • • •
• Group Decision Support System (GDSS) – Permit group members to interact with electronic support – Examples: email, Lotus Notes
– Aids decision makers in the making of decisions – Examples: financial planning with what-if analysis, budgeting with modeling
Norhanim Selamat & Zehan Afizah Afip @ Afit (PM. Dr. Rosziati Ibrahim)
– Helps executives to make unstructured strategic decisions in an informed way – Examples: drill-down analysis, status access
– CDCWS is a more general term of GDSS – May include software support called “groupware” for team collaboration via network computers – Example: video conferencing, Web survey system Norhanim Selamat & Zehan Afizah Afip @ Afit (PM. Dr. Rosziati Ibrahim)

Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP)
Ecommerce and Web Systems • Benefits
• Performs integration of many information systems existing on different management levels and within different functions • Example: SAP, Oracle
– Increasing user awareness of the availability of a service, product, industry, person, or group – The possibility of 24-hour access for users – Improving the usefulness and usability of interface design – Creating a system that can extend globally rather than remain local, thus reaching people in remote locations without worry of the time zone in which they are located

Open Source Software
Wireless Systems • System analyst may be asked to design standard or wireless communication networks that integrate voice, video and email into organizational intranets or industry extranets • System analyst may also be asked to develop intelligent agents • Example: Microsoft's new software based on Bayesian statistics • Wireless communication is referred as m-commerce (mobile commerce)

Need for Systems Analysis and Design
Norhanim Selamat & Zehan Afizah Afip @ Afit (PM. Dr. Rosziati Ibrahim)
26
Exercise:
• 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
Norhanim Selamat & Zehan Afizah Afip @ Afit (PM. Dr. Rosziati Ibrahim)
• An alternative of traditional software development where proprietary code is hidden from the users • Open source software is free to distribute, share and modify • Characterized as a philosophy rather than simply the process of creating new software • Example: Linux Operating System, Apache Web Server, Mozilla Firefox Web browser
1. Who is the systems analyst? 2. List three roles that the systems analyst is called upon to play. Provide a definition for each one of the role. 3. What personal qualities are helpful to the systems analyst? List them. 4. List and briefly define the seven phases of the system development life cycle (SDLC).
