ISSUES AND BENEFITS
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
< We are not expecting detailed computer specifications. The specific systems are often very expensive and complex.
But you should be able to relate the things you have found about these systems to the various components of information systems: hardware, software, data, people and procedures. Focus on the last three key components that distinguish information systems from computing; people, procedures and data. Ask questions such as:
People
• What sort of things will need to be done to include people who use the system? We are not talking about customers but people in the business.
Procedures
• What changes will be necessary to current processes (or procedures) to ensure that the system will be successful?
Data
• What sorts of data will be collected and how will this be done?
REFERENCE LIST
< Include a Harvard format reference list containing every reference cited in the body of your report. Every entry here must have a matching citation e.g. (Shackleton 2010) somewhere in the report>
