Synopsis

Learn the methods and principles of systems development with this up-to-date work on systems analysis and design. Offering a business perspective to emphasize the role, responsibilities and mind-set of the systems analyst and systems project manager, the book covers current practices, current concepts, processes and principles. It links the different dimensions of systems descriptions and modelling, and covers systems building today (including data capture, data management, and information processing and reporting).

Quatrième de couverture

NEW OR EXPANDED CONTENT COVERAGE TO KEEP YOU ON THE LEADING EDGE…

• Increased focus on "make versus buy" and systems integration. More and more systems development involves the use of packages in combination with legacy applications and new modules. Chapter 11 shows how companies deal with these issues.
• Coverage of Internet-based systems. The authors have redesigned the distributed systems design chapter (now Chapter 16) to also address Internet-based application design topics not covered in the other chapters: They cover Internet application design standards, how to maintain site consistency, security issues, and data warehousing, among other topics.
• Expanded coverage of process modeling techniques. Chapter 8 now includes an introduction to business process modeling and functional hierarchy modeling as alternatives to data flow diagramming. These three process-modeling techniques are compared so you know when to use each in practice.
• Unlike other SAD texts, Modern Systems Analysis and Design has continually offered strong coverage of RAD — an important element in systems design.
