Document Summary

Chapter 1&2: introduction to systems analysis and design. Install it: knowledge, skills, and education, technical knowledge, communication and business skills, critical thinking skills. Computer-aided systems engineering (case) tools: support design methodologies, structured analysis, object-oriented analysis, generate program code, speeds the implementation process. Inference rules: identify data patterns and relationships: user productivity systems, technology that improves productivity, groupware: enables data sharing and coordination of efforts. Chapter 2: ongoing processing of systems change requests (bottom up) vs the work of the. Systems (change) requests: fixes or upgrades to existing systems, can also be requests for new systems that are small and inexpensive, costs relatively little compared to systems under consideration by the strategic. Spftware, and network resources: does the company have the required technical expertise, does the proposed platform have sufficient capacity, scheduling feasiblity for future needs, a project can be implemented in an acceptable time frame.
