1 Introduction
Aim of the Report:
The main focus of this report is build a new system from scratch for Broadway bookshop which can solve the problems which the company facing with their present system. By this report we will elaborate new system’s functionality, get their requirements for desired system by different techniques and will prepare a planning for the system using MS Project software.
The company is facing problems like duplication of records due to no proper record system, Customer dissatisfaction due to lake of accuracy in scheduling system and so on.
AWSIG will prove a system by which all the problems facing by Broadway bookshop will solve and help them gain customer satisfaction which will help them gain market value of their services and company.
2 Approaches to Systems Development
There are various methods to approach to system development including Joint application design and prototyping. After reviewing many methods we found JAD is more appropriate method to approach to systems development. JAD adjusts
Before sending to each store, clothes are ironed in advance and packed on hangers, with security and price tags fixed beforehand. This system helps staff in Zara utilize their time efficiently with the inventory during busy periods.
Quiz 1 is a take home, open-book quiz consisting of five questions. The quiz will be posted on the ISM 6124 site in Canvas under Assignments.

Place all of your answers within the quiz Word document. Read the questions carefully and provide concise and complete answers.Place your name in the requested position on this first page.
Information Technology (IT) refers only to the information processing software programs of a computer system: True or False
5. In his twenties, Tony Hsieh sold LinkExchange to Amazon for over a quarter of a billion dollars.
The purpose of this project is to conduct an analysis research into the implementation and management of this business enterprise system. This project deals with developing and upgrading the computer system to handle to daily work load of our business while being able to conduct communication between sites and data back-up. Furthermore, we will analyze other various architectures features such as: system requirements, architecture selection, resources and timeline, security and the
Phase 3 tasks 1 Components of technology systems Questions 1-4 for Group project, part 2:
System Analysis is the study where detailed information about the components and requirements of a system, the information needs of an organisation, the characteristics and current components of the systems and the user functional requirements of the systems that is proposed system.
The five component model of information systems is essential for creating an IT infrastructure that can quickly react to new opportunities and threats companies face over time. What the intent of the five component model centers on is creating a platform that integrates hardware, software, procedures and people to get the most value out of the data produced by IT systems (Kroenke, 2013). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate the five component model and how it forms the foundation of a competitive asset for an enterprise IT strategy.
Currently their information system (IS) is not fully centralized and this is causing a lot of problem in their expansion and cross-company
Questionnaires are also disseminated to gather opinions from end users. In addition, analysts will observe the way the current system is used to perform day-day activities, and collect data. Analysis will be conducted on the different types of documentation used to understand certain rules, processes and procedures. Finally, a joint application design (JAD) can be conduct by way of a meeting with end users. The purpose of the JAD is to gather requirements that all parties can agree on (Valacich et al,
Against the requirements stated by the Toromont Company we can propose following Information System solution:
An information system is a base in today’s business world. Everything is electronic. In various businesses, the survival and ability to succeed strategic business goals is challenging without extensive use of information system. Businesses improve the efficiency of their operations in order to accomplish higher profitablity. Besides that, information systems are important tools available to managers for achieving higher levels of efficiency and productiviy in business operations. For an example, Zara uses the PDA technology to gather customer feedback and input.
System development can generally be thought of having two major components: systems analysis and systems design. In System Analysis more emphasis is given to understanding the details of an existing system or a proposed one and then deciding whether the proposed system is desirable or not and whether the existing system needs improvements. Thus, system analysis is the process of investigating a system, identifying problems, and using the information to recommend improvements to the system. System design is the process of planning a new business system or one to replace or complement an existing system.
The interview session has been done by include an open-ended and closed-ended question which are related to the implemented project. Next, sampling technique is executed by system analyst who does evaluation to the current system or prototype. These processes give feedback in evaluation form that filled after tested the system. Lastly, observation is performed by using questionnaire form. According to Burch (1992), the questionnaire is analyzed and transform into structured form that easy to understand. After all information has been collected, structuring of system requirement takes place. It focused on development process modeling which perform “graphically representing the process, or actions, that capture, manipulate, store, and distribute data between a system and environment” (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2012, p. 182). In this step, Data flow diagram (DFD) is structured by system analyst using special tools and techniques to create a decision table. According to Hoffer, George and Valacich (2012), decision table is a “diagram of process logic where the logic is reasonably complicated” (p. 200). This table is useful to help system analyst to make a decision toward the project. Then all information’s gained from this phase are documented in System Analysis Report (SAR) that acts as a guideline or reference to the future system development project (Burch, 1992).
