Modeling Approaches

Today’s information systems design and development activities demand flexibility from supporting arbitrary modeling approaches. Improvements to the business process as a result of the introduction of new technologies and applications requires the adaptation of modeling approaches to accommodate the changing demands of analysis and design. Therefore, this chapter focuses on supporting the new and changing demands in analysis and design of information systems. An understanding of the business process is important in order to design a proper information architecture for the problem at hand, therefore, the modeling of the business process of an organization is the focus of this chapter, to improve the understanding of the problem situation before designing and developing an information system. The problem of analyzing a hotel reservation and reception activities according to the DEMO modeling approach (Dietz, 1996) is presented in this chapter.

Hands On

This article describes a project tin which college students in an advanced systems analysis and design class in the school of business developed an information system for another school. The students were able to obtain hands-on experience in an environment that could be controlled to ensure that educational objectives were met. The client was able to conserve development funds to enhance the project in another area.

For most of this century, strategic planning has been a three-to-five year organizational ritual of measuring the current position of the firm and determining where the firm should go in the future within the context of perceived environmental uncertainty (PEU). It has long been assumed that PEU impacts the strategic choices that drive or-ganizational structure, including information systems design. However, technology has blurred the delineation between strategy and structure, and how organizations deal with PEU. The convergence of these elements has resulted in these causal relationships be-ing questioned and re-examined. Recent research indicates that information systems play such an important role in today's organizations that they may impact the strategy that an organization pursues. This study surveys and examines 148 firms operating in ninety-two different industries. The results indicate that PEU has a significant impact on both strategy and information systems design while information systems design sig-nificantly affects strategy. This is critically important for information systems profes-sionals as it suggests that the design and capabilities of the firm's information system are important considerations in the selection of a firm's strategy.

Document processing is significant and limiting factor of the efficiency of every information system that creates, stores, and revises documents during its operation. Selection of proper document format together with the data that describe the document can substantially influence the speed of processing the documents.We should consider the document format already in the phase of systems design. If documents that are processed are of one type it is useful to follow one descriptive style during their creation. This can be achieved through using sample document templates. Not less important is also the method of storing the documents. This aspect is crucial mainly in cases when the presentation and processing of the documents is fundamental. The design of the structure and methods of storing the documents are influenced by the operations that will be carried out with the docu­ments. Big impact on the structure has e.g. implementation of efficient searching algorithm in full text or semantic variant.This paper doesn‘t provide complex solution of document systems in information systems but uses suitable approaches and comparisons to show effective way how to implement such system with the compliance with new technologies.

Based on an analysis conducted, PT XYZ may face problems on their business process since it is still executed with a non-computerized system. The purpose of this study is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the business processes perFormance running at the company. Besides, this study may support PT XYZ to monitor their business activities primarily from sales and inventory. The focus of the analysis and design of the inFormation systems lies in the records of beef suppies and sales transaction. A procedure and design of an integrated inFormation system in the Form a desktop application is the output of this study.

Information Systems Design

This chapter introduces project management as a pivotal tool that underpins successful information systems design. It argues that the strength of the human-dimension of human-computer interaction (HCI) is often omitted by system designers. It discusses some of the issues that arise when dealing with a multi-disciplined project team. These include dealing with a non-conventional learning context, the challenge of designing an appropriate learning design and instructional architecture. Furthermore, the authors hope that understanding the underlying principles of effective conflict management throughout the process of systems design will inform others of a better communication methodology for dealing with difficult behaviour when designing an information system. It is also hoped that this discussion will assist in the understanding of the intricate and interactive relationships that arise between the different elements of HCI.

The research goal is to identify and analyze the need of accounting information system related to the revenue cycle at PT XYZ. This paper designing the useful of accounting information systems to support the current business processes, especially on the revenue cycle process. The design method is an Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) which refers to the modeling and design requirements discipline. And the result achieved by analysis and design of accounting information systems can support current activities of the revenue cycle, especially for the documentation and store of transaction data, and generate reports in accordance with company requirements. Conclusions derived from the analysis and design is the implementation of a webbased application that can help PT XYZ to do the work in different places, such as marketing office, head office and especially at the exhibition.
