4. Introduction
ANALYSIS
Analysis as ‘the breaking up of any whole so as to find
out their nature, function etc.
Analysis gives the conceptual understanding of a
system from the logical point of view by detailing its
functionality.
5. Define Information System analysis.
the process of studying business in order to identify its
goals and purposes and create systems and procedures
that will achieve them in an efficient way.
the act, process, or profession of studying an activity
(as a business, or a physiological function) typically by
mathematical means in order to define its goals or
purposes and to discover operations and procedures
for accomplishing them most efficiently.
6. Why is information systems analysis important?
Imagine that you have decided to renovate your
house. You have met with an architect and agreed
on some basic concepts, time and cost estimates.
Your family has approved these costs in the form of
a “business case”.
7. Why is information systems analysis important?
Information management projects are similar-
Requirements should be identified first, and approved
by the business owner, before technical design begins.
This way, the business owner is involved in “sign-off”
of the requirements. The technical team is also
involved with specifying requirements so they are in a
better position to understand what is needed.
8. How does information system analysis help
deliver projects faster?
The requirements specification provides a means of
specifying all requirements and the criteria that will be
used to accept that the requirements have been met. It
helps ensure that the technical team does not design
and build something that is not specified.
9. How does information system analysis help
deliver projects faster?
Requirements management will ensure that project
management scope for design and construction does
not deviate from requirements thus minimizing time
delays and cost over-run due to re-work.
10. Analysis concepts
Requirement analysis
Requirement analysis is a formal process of interacting
with a client to understand and then put in a formal
document the requirement of the client
While initiating the process of requirement elicitation and
analysis, some key issues must be understood so that
analysis is easier, they are:
11. They are…
The key people driving the request. This will help them to
focus their information gathering activity.
The key people who will use the system
The financial benefit.
What is the problem that system will address?
12. Analysis Principles
The domain of information in which the problem
operates has to be appreciated.
The key functions of the system have to be defined
System must be modular. This is required to help
create the system in a faster way.
13. Analysis Principles
System has to be defined in abstract term. This
helps reduce complexity.
The ambiguity in the system must be reduced to
enable designer to focus on the outcome clearly.
17. Who invented SWOT analysis?
SWOT analysis was invented in the 1960s by a
management consultant named Albert Humphrey
at the Stanford Research Institute. Previously,
corporate planning had not met with much
success. 500 companies needed a way to produce

planning And creating a recommendation during
a study/survey.
22. What is The Limitations of SWOT analysis?
SWOT Analysis is not free from its limitations. It may
cause organizations to view situations as very simple
because of which the organizations might overlook
certain key strategic contact which may occur.
SWOT Analysis does stress upon the importance of the
four aspects (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities
and threats), but it doesn’t tell how an organization
can identify these aspects for itself.
23. The Limitations of SWOT analysis
There are certain limitations of SWOT Analysis
which are not in control of management Only.
These Limitations includes :-
Price increase.
Inputs/raw materials.
Economic environment.

25. SWOT ANALYSIS OF MIS
MIS is a great tool for the organizations and
companies to track the various activities happening in
the organization. These activities can include the
product bought or sold :(services, inventory, business
partners, people, processes and a lot more).
The MIS helps the managers to create reports about
the various resources and stake-holders of the
organization. MIS keeps company’s information
organized which can be utilized when required.
26. Strengths
MIS improves the problem solving capabilities of
the Organization
A complete MIS solution can give a Perfect
picture of the company’s performance at any point
of time.
27. Weaknesses
MIS is totally based on transactions.
If transactions are not captured right, the
resulting information would be so faulty.
With the amount of data growing, MIS would
require a lot of processing power to produce the
expected results in time.
28. Opportunities
A system in the manufacturing firm can control
the flow of materials. This can reduce the cost of
inventory. The concept of (just-in-time) can only
be implemented if it’s backed by a flawless MIS.
Marketing and sales departments can be more
accurate in their demand for casting if a good MIS
system is available to them.
29. Threats
As with any IT system, security is a big threat to
the MIS system. All the data is on the network.
Any error or loophole can turn into security flaw.
A Very keen care should be taken for the system
on this situation.
The designing of the information can also turn
out to be a threat if the design is not flexible
enough to entertain the change requests.
