Systems Analysis and Design
A Three Day Intensive Workshop
Training Overview
In business, System Analysis and Design refers to the process of examining a business situation with the intent of improving it through better procedures and methods. System analysis and design relates to shaping organizations, improving performance and achieving objectives for profitability and growth. The emphasis is on systems in action, the relationships among subsystems and their contribution to meeting a common goal.Looking at a system and determining how adequately it functions, the changes to bemade and the quality of the output are parts of system analysis.
Specifically, systems development can generally be thought of as having two major components: Systems analysis and Systems design. System design is the process of planning a new business system or one to replace or complement an existing system. But before this planning can be done, we must thoroughly understand the old system and determine how computers can best be used to make its operation more effective. System analysis, then, is the process of gathering and interpreting facts, diagnosing problems, and using the information to recommend improvements to the system. This is the job of the systems analyst.
This 3-day training investigates in detail the latest tools and techniques for modern systems analysis and design. The life cycle approach as it relates to the construction of a management information system in functional areas will be explored. Through various small and large projects and case examples the participants will design various components of an operational information system. During the training participants will use the SAD Software Tools to complete their case study with their team.

- Business analysts
- And web developers.
- Managerial personnel of organisations outsourcing their application development
- MIS managers and management information systems managers will also benefit from the training
Training Objectives
After completion of this training participants should be able to:
- To understand basic systems analysis and design concepts.
- To understand the components of a successful systems analysis and design process.
- To conduct a system feasibility study and identify major dimensions of systems feasibility.
- To understand the life cycle approach and modern systems design techniques including RAD, prototyping and CASE methodologies.
- To provide a conceptual design for various components of an operational information system including, I/O design, database design, and security design.
- To understand the system implementation and system support issues.
- To understand project management concepts and issues for successful design and implementation of functional information systems.
Training Benefits
