About this title

Synopsis

This book covers the basic approach to developing information systems. The central theme is the information systems development life cycle, and a detailed description follows from the early planning stages and the feasibility study through to implementation, review and maintenance. The modern information systems life cycle presented draws upon the techniques of structured systems analysis and design, producing a framework for information systems development as a whole. It also draws on other sources, such as the use of rich pictures in soft systems methodology. It describes how modern software tools, along with the technology infrastructure, can make the job easier. Organisational and people issues are stressed as much as the technology. Information systems planning and strategy are discussed along with the ways in which information systems can '||'''fit'||''' into different organisational types. Again, the roles of users are described in detail along with the option of end-user development. The book has been designed as a basic text book with chapter summaries, exercises, examples and issues to debate. There is also an ongoing case study of a typical organisation and another for students to tackle.
