Introduction to Systems Development Life Cycle

Running head : Systems Development Life Cycle

Systems Development Life Cycle Business case

It is based on the case study of New Century Health Clinic ' which is responsible for diagnoses of various patients . It is required to develop a systems development and analysis stage for getting its requirements on so that they are able to handle information and store them or future retrieval and processing

The various departments of the clinic are as follows

Accounting

Patient records

Insurance processing

Appointments

Supplies and administration

The various reflections about getting

the right development paradigm would make sure that enough systems thinking is done for the prosperity of the clinic

Executive summary

The IS for the clinic would bring the elements of the organization to the same page so that every department can interact with each other to share information anytime and be in synchronization with the developments taking place . All the loopholes and exceptional cases can be captured to optimize the use of resources

Proper engineering principals have been discussed so that every requirement is enveloped into the IS and can be managed to optimize the present working of the organization . The implementation of IS would give a defined structure to the organization and stay in healthy communication with all the departments . The IS would be an organization itself and would manage all the resources effectively . The involvement of IS would enable them to compete with international threats in the market

Introduction

The choice of getting the right software development paradigm is one of the challenging tasks in the entire process . The system to be built would require a definite process so that good engineering principals would make the system cover all the business functions and platforms

After through analysis of the business case , the enterprise would require a custom built software , which would be able to communicate all the information thus making it an On-Demand service . In other words it would require bringing all the departments on the same page . It would facilitate the very organization and retrieval of information in the enterprise

The process to be complied with would make sure that the requirements are fully captured and updated with time . The combination of spiral and Rapid Application Development (RAD ) methodology would make sure that the process runs fast and effectively covers the business modalities . It would make the department 's envelope all the functionalities which would be available using the RAD technology (Pressman , 2003

Analysis and Evaluation of alternatives

The methodology to be selected for clinic would be Object Oriented Development (OOD . It would clearly depict the entire business scenario and the integration of the various departments into the information system so that no information is missed and every requirement and penetration is captured

The OOD concept depicts the entire design document into a real world entity and all the correct implications of the design would be enveloped in the same (Hoffer , 2002

It is the best suitable case for clinic as the complexity must be addressed with fine...
