Phases, Steps, Techniques, And Deliverables

In order for an organization to be able to have an efficient and successful organization the proper Information Technology system (IT) must be in place, this document will demonstrate what system is in place to make sure system is running successfully.

Another factor to ensure success is to train the IT personnel on the system’s applications and processes. How well the IT personnel understand the systems is extremely relevant to the success of system implementation. The involvement of IT personnel, who have knowledge regarding the application requirements, increases the ability of the team to correctly and quickly specify the requirements. Experienced IT personnel on a team help ensure others understand terminology and have more of an understanding of the stakeholders needs (Havelka and Lee, April 25, 2002).

Information system is a combination of hardware, software, infrastructure as well trained personnel who organized and facilitate planning, control, coordination and decision making within an organization. Information systems are also able to implement a vital integrated set of components for collecting, storing, and processing data. With this, it provided organizations with the necessary information, knowledge, and digital products needed. Information system bring the meaning of business applications that manage their operations, compete in the market place, manage accounts and human resources. This system have a vast variety of components that are crucial for a enterprise, business to function at his highest level, IT software is responsible that all system are reliable and up to date.

Another way of successfully gathering information is by building a prototype or model of the system, so that users can test or get an idea of what the finished product will be like. With this they can determine issues, problems, or inconsistency with the system. Another important part of gathering information is organizing it so that it can be understood and put to proper use. I propose categorizing the requirements into functional requirements, operational requirements, technical requirements, and transitional requirements. The functional requirements define how the user thinks the system is functioning overall, the operational requirements define what background processes need to be executed in order for the system to work optimally over a period of time, the technical requirements define what technical issues that must be addressed in order to successfully implement the system, and the transitional requirements define the processes or steps needed to implement the system smoothly and successfully. ("Mind Tools", 2012).

Which is requirements needed, after all the information the team will analyze to determine software requirements and generate a report. Then we move to the selection and design, this will occur when the team creates several designs and share with everyone on the project. We will identify any weakness, if we have any successful prototypes it should show how the software will operate. Implementation phase should proceed without any issues if there is any it must be correct during this time. A planned out schedule should allow for any unexpected incidents. When the implementation stage is complete we move to operation when our software has been designed and does what it was designed to do. We will do a review and evaluation which consist of performance, cost and

The information system’s requirements in the systems planning phase are based on a case summary, potential interview questions, and the systems analyst’s experience in systems planning. One must not only generate requirements based specifically on what users’ state they want or need. Analysts must also generate requirements based on insight into the overall organization and project goals.

It is important to have information gathering techniques so that no information can be overlooked. The information system that we are looking for must meet the requirements of the organization and the employees that will be using the system. The first part of information gathering should consist of identifying information sources. The main sources of information in the company should be employees who use the system and will be using the new one because they can tell you what works and what does not work or basically what’s good about this system so that we can implement it in the new

The system champion will be responsible for leading the team and that particular team will come together and determine the expectations of the project while creating a project plan. The assembled team must get a list together of goals needed to accomplish within the new system and access the way these goals are going to be accomplished. The goal of the information system is to process and store data while keeping information safe and secure for the organization and within this process the important goals need to be understood by all members of the team, and implemented within the system. There are surveys given to the implementation team, and staff members so that the goals are identified by the importance it holds and will play within the process. Once the goals are determined the team is ready to find a vendor who fits the requirements by creating a list of all vendors to send a request for a proposal to the chosen vendors. The only time an organization accepts a request from the chosen vendors is when and if they are willing to do a demonstration for the staff and team members on the site. This on-site demonstration will help the staff to have a better understanding of the system while making an informed decision based on the information presented. This demonstration will also help the implementation team decide which vendor produces the better system while meeting the

Discuss the system development methodology used? If information systems are acquired from off-the-shelf products, what is the process of procurement that is used in the organisation?

In order, to be successful, closing the gap and establishing a thorough communication platform, designed for each department will help the system function effectively. For my company to adopt a PDS system in our workplace, the need for this system would thoroughly have to be explained first. Instantly following the creation of the platforms for each department, I would have to pitch the requirements and expectation of everyone involved or that will be involved in the process immediately after introducing it.

We need to define the problem and determine where the root of the problem is. Then we find a solution to that problem and start to plan how we are going to implement that

The Bandon Group intends to have an information system study conducted to determine how they can best use Information Technology (IT) to meet the overall mission, goals and objectives of the organization over the next 3-5 years. The purpose of a Management Information System is to collect, store and process business information and to deliver it to decision makers in a format they can use.

When designing any new system special considerations, guidelines, and specification should be taken into consideration. It is best practice that as many people as possible participate in the project, adding some sort of

After the proposed system is analyzed and designed, the actual implementation of the system occurs. After implementation, working system is available and it requires timely maintenance.

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).
