• System Design: specifying in detail how the parts of an information system should be implemented

Why is it important?

• Success of information systems depends on good SAD

• Widely used in industry - proven techniques

• Part of career growth in IT - lots of interesting and well-paying jobs!

• Increasing demand for systems analysis skills
