discusses people, the last component of an information system.
People are involved in information systems in just about every
way. People imagine information systems, people develop
information systems, people support information systems, and,
perhaps most importantly, people use information systems.
The Creators of Information Systems
The first group of people to be considered play a role in designing,
developing, and building information systems. These people are
generally technical and have a background in programming,
analysis, information security, or database design. Just about
everyone who works in the creation of information systems has a
minimum of a bachelorās degree in computer science or information
systems, though that is not necessarily a requirement. The process
of creating information systems will be covered in more detail in
Chapter 10.

Systems Analyst
The systems analyst straddles the divide between identifying
business needs and imagining a new or redesigned system to fulfill
those needs. This individual works with a team or department
seeking to identify business requirements and analyze the specific
details of an existing system or a system that needs to be built.
Generally, the analyst is required to have a good understanding
of the business itself, the purpose of the business, the business
processes involved, and the ability to document them well. The
analyst identifies the different stakeholders in the system and works
to involve the appropriate individuals in the analysis process.
Prior to analyzing the problem or the system of concern, the
analyst needs to a) clearly identify the problem, b) gain approval for
the project, c) identify the stakeholders, and d) develop a plan to
monitor the project. The analysis phase of the project can be broken
down into five steps.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as ādistorted thinkingā.

The first group of people we are going to
look at, play a role in designing, developing,
and building information systems.
These people are generally very technical
and have a background in programming and
mathematics.
Just about everyone who works in the
creation of information systems has a
minimum of an associate or bachelorās
degree in computer science or information
systems, though that is not necessarily a
requirement.
12. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators

Systems Analyst
The role of the systems analyst is to
straddle the divide between identifying
business needs and imagining a new or
redesigned computer-based system to
fulfill those needs.
This individual will work with a
person, team, or department with
business requirements and identify the
specific details of a system that needs
to be built.
13. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
13
Takes a picture of the
current processes and
gathers current needs.
14. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
14
Generally, this will require the
analyst to have a good
understanding of the business
itself, the business processes
involved, and the ability to
document them well.
The analyst will identify the
different stakeholders in the
system and work to involve the
appropriate individuals in the
process.
15. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
15
Once the requirements are
determined, the analyst will begin the
process of translating these
requirements into an information-
systems design.
A good analyst will understand what
different technological solutions will
work and provide several different
alternatives to the requester, based on
the companyās budgetary constraints,
technology constraints, and culture.
16. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
16
Once the solution is selected, the
analyst will create a detailed
document describing the new
system.
This new document will require
that the analyst understand how
to speak in the technical language
of systems developers.
A systems analyst generally is not
the one who does the actual
development of the information
system.
17. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
17
The design document created by
the systems analyst provides the
detail needed to create the system
and is handed off to a programmer
(or team of programmers) to do
the actual creation of the system.
In some cases, however, a systems
analyst may go ahead and create
the system that he or she designed.
This person is sometimes referred
to as a programmer-analyst.
18. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
18
In other cases, the system may be
assembled from off-the-shelf
components by a person called a
systems integrator.
This is a specific type of systems
analyst that understands how to
get different software packages to
work with each other.
19. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
19
To become a systems analyst,
you should have a background
both in the business and in
systems design.
Many analysts first worked as
programmers and/or had to
experience in the business before
becoming systems analysts.

Programmer
Programmers spend their time
writing computer code in a
programming language.
In the case of systems
development, programmers
generally attempt to fulfill the
design specifications given to
them by a systems analyst.
22. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
22
Many different styles of programming
exist: a programmer may work alone for
long stretches of time or may work in a
team with other programmers.
A programmer needs to be able to
understand complex processes and also the
intricacies of one or more programming
languages.
Generally, a programmer is very proficient
in mathematics, as mathematical concepts
underlie most programming code.

Computer Engineer
Computer engineers design the
computing devices that we use
every day.
There are many types of
computer engineers, who work
on a variety of different types of
devices and systems.
Some of the more prominent
engineering jobs are as follows:
25. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
25
ā¢ Hardware engineer. A hardware
engineer designs hardware components,
such as microprocessors. Many times, a
hardware engineer is at the cutting edge
of computing technology, creating
something brand new. Other times, the
hardware engineerās job is to engineer
an existing component to work faster or
use less power. Many times, a hardware
engineerās job is to write code to create a
program that will be implemented
directly on a computer chip.
1
26. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
26
ā¢ Software engineer. Software
engineers do not actually design
devices; instead, they create new
programming languages and
operating systems, working at the
lowest levels of the hardware to
develop new kinds of software to
run on the hardware.
2
27. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
27
ā¢ Systems engineer. A systems
engineer takes the components
designed by other engineers and
makes them all work together. For
example, to build a computer, the
motherboard, processor, memory,
and hard disk all have to work
together. A systems engineer has
experience with many different
types of hardware and software and
knows how to integrate them to
create new functionality.
3
28. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
28
ā¢ Network engineer. A network
engineerās job is to understand the
networking requirements of an
organization and then design a
communications system to meet
those needs, using the networking
hardware and software available.
There are many different types of
computer engineers, and often
the job descriptions overlap.
4
29. Introduction to Information Technology
8.1. People in Information Systems: Creators
29
While many may call themselves
engineers based on a company job title,
there is also a professional designation
of āprofessional engineer,ā which has
specific requirements behind it.
In the US, each state has its own set of
requirements for the use of this title, as
do different countries around the
world.
Most often, it involves a professional
licensing exam.
