During the growth of a competitive global environment, there is considerable pressure on most organisations to make their operational, tactical, and strategic process more efficient and effective.
An information system (IS) is a group of components which can increase the competitiveness and gain better information for decision making. Consequently, many organisations decide to implement IS in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their organisations
Information systems have become a major function area of business administration. The systems, nowadays, plays a vital role in the e-business and e-commerce operations, enterprise collaboration and management, and strategic success of the business
2. Why MIS ?
• During the growth of a competitive global environment, there is
considerable pressure on most organisations to make their operational,
tactical, and strategic process more efficient and effective.
• An information system (IS) is a group of components which can increase
the competitiveness and gain better information for decision making.
Consequently, many organisations decide to implement IS in order to
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their organisations
• Information systems have become a major function area of business
administration. The systems, nowadays, plays a vital role in the e-business
and e-commerce operations, enterprise collaboration and management,
and strategic success of the business
3. MIS Implementation
• The implementation of new information systems is a significant
investment for organisations. Since information systems are
sociotechnical systems, development involves the joint design of
activity systems and ICT systems .
• This information system implementation process concept is similar to
a five-step process called the information systems development cycle
which includes the steps of:
(1) investigation; (2) analysis; (3) design;
(4) implementation; and (5) maintenance
4. WHAT is SDLC
Mainly used in Systems Engineering, Information Systems & Software
Engineering.
• A process of creating, or altering information systems, and the models
& methodologies used to develop the systems.
5. Stages/Phases in SDLC
• Systems Investigation
• Systems Analysis
• Systems Design
• Systems Development
• Systems Implementation
• Systems Maintenance
7. System Investigation
• Assesses feasibility and practicality of system
• Determine if a new system is needed
• Five primary tasks:
• 1. List problems, opportunities and directives
• 2. Negotiate preliminary scope
• 3. Assess project worth
• 4. Plan the project
• 5. Present the project and plan
8. System Analysis
• In depth study of old system and identifying
new system requirements
• Defines system from user's view
• Forms of analysis
• 1. Organisational Analysis
• 2. Analysis of Present System
• 3. Functional Requirements Analysis
9. System Design
• Design new/alternative system
• Specifies how the system will accomplish the objectives.
• Consists of design activities to be implemented
that was done earlier in the systems analysis stage
• Systems design consists of 4 major activities:
• 1.User Interface Design
• 2. Data Design
• 3. Process Design
• 4. System Specifications
10. System Development
• Build the system to the design specifications
• Develop the software
• 1. Purchase off-the-shelf software OR
• 2. Write custom software
• Acquire the hardware
• Test the new system
• 1. Module (unit) test - tests each part of system
• 2. Integration testing - tests system as one unit
• Create manuals for users and operators
11. System Implementation
• Installing the system
• Convert from old system to new system
• Train end users
• Compile final documentation
• Testing & Evaluating the new system

13. • Direct Approach
Direct installation of the new system with immediate discontinuance of
the old existing system is reffered as “cold turnkey” approach. This
approach becomes useful when these factors are considered.
1. The new system does no replace the existing system.
2. Old system is regarded absolutely of no value
3. New system is compact and simple.
4. The design of the new system is inexpensive with more advantages
and less risk involved.
14. • Parallel Approach
The selected new system is installed and operated with current system.
This method is expensive because of duplicating facilities and personal
to maintain both the systems. In this approach a target date must be
fixed when the operations of old system cease and new one will
operate on its own.
15. • Modular Approach
This is generally recognized as “Pilot approach”, means the
implementation of a system in the Organization on a piece-meal basis.
This has few advantages / merits
1. The risk of systems failure is localized
2. The major problem can be easily identified and corrected before
further implementation.
3. Operating personal can be trained before system is installed in a
location.
16. • Phase-in-Implementation
This approach is similar to modular method but it differs because of
segmentation of system, however, not the organization. It has
advantages that the rate of changes in a given Organization can be
totally minimized and the data processing resource can be acquired
gradually over a period of time. System exhibits certain disadvantages
such as limited applicability, more costs incurred to develop interface
with old system and a feeling in the Organization that system is never
completed.
