Why Develop an IS?Why Develop an IS?

Three phenomena that trigger IS development

– An opportunity (proactive)– A problem (reactive)– A directive

Page 3: Chapter 15 Systems Development

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

The systems development life cycle

Page 4: Chapter 15 Systems Development

Analysis– Determines what need the system will

satisfy

– Investigation• Developers interview managers and

perspective users to determine business needs.

• Three feasibility studies

performed.

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Page 5: Chapter 15 Systems Development

5

• The Technical Feasibility Study

• Ensures hardware and software exist to build the system

• The Economic Feasibility Study

• Benefits of the system weighed against the cost

• The Operational Feasibility Study

• Determines if system will be used as intended

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

DesignLogical Design

• Translation of user requirements into detailed functions of the system

Physical Design

Construction

Systems Testing

PrototypingSystems developed using an

Iterative Process

– Purpose is to develop a working model as quickly as possible, which can be tweaked and revised

– Significantly shortens systems development backlog

– Can increase risk of incompatibility and other unforeseen mishaps

Page 10: Chapter 15 Systems Development

10

In prototyping, refinement of the system continues until users are satisfied.

Prototyping

When to prototype and when not to prototype

Project ManagementProject Management Goals

– Complete the project on time.– Complete the project within budget.– Meet requirements.– Meet expectations.

Dimensions of project managementIS development projects: challenges and failures

Page 12: Chapter 15 Systems Development

–Quality Management

–Financial Management

Systems DevelopmentLed by End UsersJAD: An example of User-led

Systems Development

– Joint Application Development (JAD): method to be used in SDLU

– Uses six-step process to take the team through planning and design

The six steps of JAD

Page 14: Chapter 15 Systems Development

– JAD Critical Success Factors

• All participants must be committed to JAD process.

• Customers and IS people must agree on project’s scope.

• Sponsor must be supportive and involved.

• Team members must be empowered decision makers.

• Business objectives must be clearly defined.

• Business process must be understood.

• Team members must be able to meet two or more days per week.

• Members must be committed to the team.

Alternative Avenues for Systems Acquisitions

Page 16: Chapter 15 Systems Development

16

Outsourcing– Short-term contractual

relationship with a service firm to develop a specific application

– Long-term contractual relationship with a service firm to take over all or some of an organization’s IS functions

Page 17: Chapter 15 Systems Development

17

Advantages of Outsourcing

– Improved financial planning– Reduced license and maintenance fees– Increased attention to core business– Shorter implementation cycles– Reduction of personal and fixed costs– Increased access to highly qualified know-

how?– Increased security

Outsourcing

Risks of Outsourcing

–Loss of control

–Loss of experienced employees

–Risks of losing a competitive advantage

Page 19: Chapter 15 Systems Development

Risks of outsourcing are higher at higher levels of management.

The InformationSystems Subsidiary

IS service companies that are owned by and served by one large company

Some grow large enough to service the market at large

Some corporations purchase an IS consulting firm

Page 21: Chapter 15 Systems Development

21

Purchased Applications

Why Purchase?

–Immediate system availability

–High quality

–Low price

–Available support

Page 22: Chapter 15 Systems Development

22

Purchased Applications

Purchasing Risks– Loose fit between needs and features

– Bankruptcy of the vendor

– High turnover of vendor personnel

Page 23: Chapter 15 Systems Development

23

Renting Software

On-site Renting

– Client purchases a license to use a certain application for a specified time

Renting Through the Web

– Application installed at vendor’s location; client accesses through the Web or leased line

Renting Software

Benefits and risks of software rental through the Web

User Application Development

Factors Encouraging User Application Development

– The widespread use of PCs

– The emergence of 4GLs

– Increasing popularity of prototyping

– Increasing popularity of client/server architecture

Page 26: Chapter 15 Systems Development

26

User Application Development

Advantages of user application development

– Shortened lead times

– Good fit to needs

– Free IS staff time

Page 27: Chapter 15 Systems Development

27

Risks of user application development

– Poorly developed applications

– Duplication

– Security problems

– Poor documentation
