Defines system from user's view Forms of analysis

1. Organisational Analysis2. Analysis of Present System3. Functional Requirements Analysis

3. Systems DesignDesign new/alternative systemSpecifies how the system will accomplish the

objectives.Consists of design activities to be

implemented that was done earlier in thesystems analysis stage

Systems design consists of 4 major activities:-1. User Interface Design2. Data Design3. Process Design4. System Specifications

Design new/alternative systemSpecifies how the system will accomplish the

objectives.Consists of design activities to be

implemented that was done earlier in thesystems analysis stage

Systems design consists of 4 major activities:-1. User Interface Design2. Data Design3. Process Design4. System Specifications

4. Systems DevelopmentBuild the system to the design specificationsDevelop the software

1. Purchase off-the-shelf software OR2. Write custom software

Acquire the hardwareTest the new system

1. Module (unit) test - tests each part of system2. Integration testing - tests system as one unit

Create manuals for users and operators

Installing the system Convert from old system to new system Train end users Compile final documentation Testing & Evaluating the new system

5. Systems ImplementationTypes Of Conversion

Direct/plunge/crash approach entire new systemcompletely replaces entire old system, in one step

Parallel approach - both systems are operated side byside until the new system proves itself

Pilot/location approach - launched new system for onlyone group within the business -- once new system isoperating smoothly, implementation goes company-wide

Phased/staged/incremental approach - individual partsof new system are gradually phased-in over time, usingeither crash or parallel for each piece.

IMPLEMENTATION OFMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OFMIS

Introduction After the design & development process of an

information system, comes it implementation. By implementation, it means to put the system to work. There are 4 basic methods of implementation of MIS:

1. Install the system in a new operation ororganisation.

2. Cut off the old system and install the new.3. Cut over by segments.4. Operate in parallel and cut over.

Steps in Implementation1. Planning the implementation activities.2. Acquiring and laying out facilities and offices.3. Organising the personnel for implementation.4. Developing procedures for installation and testing.5. Developing the training program for operating personnel.6. Completing the systems software.7. Acquiring the required hardware.8. Generating files.9. Designing forms.10.Testing the entire system.11.Complete cutover to the new system.12.Documenting the new system.13.Evaluating the MIS.14.Providing System Maintenance (debugging & Improving).
