Topics

Fundamentals of different kinds of


information systems
Roles of systems analysts
Phases in the systems development life
cycle as they relate to Human-
Computer Interaction (HCI) factors
Different kinds of Information systems
A systems
analyst may be
Strategic involved with
Level any or all of
these systems
at each
Higher organization

Operational Level
 Transaction Processing System (TPS)
 A TPS is a software that divides work in
individuals and operations that are called
transactions
 Processes large amounts of data for
routine business transactions
 Boundary-spanning
 Support the day-to-day operations of the
company
 Examples: Payroll Processing, Inventory
Management
Knowledge Level

 Office Automation System (OAS)


 Supports data workers who share information, but do not usually
create new knowledge
 Collects, processes and stores electronic messages
 Examples: Word processing, Spreadsheets, Desktop publishing,
Electronic scheduling, Communication through voice mail,
Email, Video conferencing
 Knowledge Work System (KWS)
 Supports professional workers such as scientists, engineers,
and doctors
 Professionals use as primary input and get outcome of that input
 Examples: computer-aided design systems, virtual reality
systems, investment workstations

Integrating New Technologies into
Traditional Systems
Ecommerce and Web Systems

 Initially, the Web was a universally accessible information


store and it had little effect on software systems
 Around 2000, the Web started to evolve and more and
more functionality was added to browsers
 This led to the development of a vast range of new
system products that delivered innovative services,
accessed over the Web
 In the last few years, the notion of ‘software as a service’
has been developed according to it software runs on the
computing cloud rather than a local machine
 The advent of the web, therefore, has led to a significant
change in the way that business software is organized
Benefits
 Increasing user awareness of the availability of a
service, product, industry, person, or group

 The possibility of 24-hour access for users

 Improving the usefulness and usability of


interface design

 Creating a system that can extend globally rather


than remain local, thus reaching people in remote
locations without worry of the time zone in which
they are located
Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
(ERP)
Wireless Systems
Open Source Software

 An alternative of traditional software development where


proprietary code is hidden from the users
 A software program that is created, inspected, modified and
maintained by a person or team of persons is known as
‘proprietary code’ or ‘closed source’ system
 Open source software is free to distribute, share and modify,
whereas proprietary software cannot be freely distributed
 Open source software promotes collaboration and sharing
because they permit other people to make modifications to
source code and incorporate those changes into their own
projects
