Information Systems Development
Overview
 Information Systems (IS) development refers to the process of designing, creating, testing,
and implementing information systems, which are designed to support business operations,
decision-making, and organizational goals.
 The development of information systems involves a combination of processes, methodologies,
tools, and technologies, which are used to produce software and systems that help an organization
meet its goals.
Key Phases of IS Development:
Planning & Requirements Gathering:

Identify business needs and system requirements.
System Design:
Define system architecture, user interface, and database structures.
Create detailed specifications and prototypes.
Development & Implementation:
Code the system based on the design.
Testing & Evaluation:
Test functionality (unit, integration, and user acceptance testing).
Ensure system meets requirements and quality standards.
Deployment & Maintenance:
Roll out the system to end-users.
Perform ongoing updates, bug fixes, and enhancements.
Evaluation & Feedback:
Collect user feedback to assess system performance.
The Systems Development Life
Cycle
Advantages of Using SDLC in MIS
 Clear Project Structure: ensures that the system is built with all necessary features (such as
data management, reporting, and analytics) and meets the organization’s business needs.
 Improved Quality and Reliability:testing ensures the system is robust, data flows correctly,
and reports are accurate, making it a reliable tool for management.
 Risk Management: SDLC helps mitigate risks related to system failures, data corruption, and unauthorized access.
DISAVANTAGES OF USING SDLC IN SDLC
 High Initial Time and Cost Investment: For MIS projects, the initial effort to document
requirements, design data models, and map out business processes may require significant
investment. For organizations with limited resources, this can be a challenge.
 Overemphasis on Documentation:While documentation is important, SDLC processes can

sometimes lead to excessive documentation that may become a burden, delaying project
timelines
 Inflexibility in Agile Environments:

System Identification, Selection, and
Planning Systems Analysis
System identification is the process of creating a mathematical model of a system based on

observed input/output data. This involves:
Steps:1. Data collection:

Gather input/output data from the system.
Step 2. Model selection:

Choose a model structure (e.g., linear, nonlinear, ARX, state-space)
step.3. Parameter estimation:

Estimate model parameters using optimization techniques.
step4. Model validation:

Verify the model's accuracy using metrics (e.g., mean squared error, correlation coefficient).
Types & method of System Identification
1:Parametric identification:
Estimates model parameters directly.
2. Non-parametric identification:
Estimates system dynamics without explicit parameters.
3. Semi-parametric identification:
Combines parametric and non-parametric approaches.
Methods:
1. Least Squares (LS): Minimizes the sum of squared errors.
2. Maximum Likelihood (ML): Maximizes the likelihood of observing the data.
3. Subspace Identification: Uses singular value decomposition (SVD) for state-space models.
4. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs): Uses neural networks to model complex systems.
System Design:
Objective: Create the blueprint for the software system.
Activities:
•Design the architecture, databases, user interfaces, and system interfaces.
•Create data flow diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams, and other modeling tools.
•Define how the system will capture, store, and process data for MIS purposes (e.g., reporting, data analysis).
•MIS Role: This phase translates the business requirements into a detailed technical design, ensuring that the system
can handle the necessary data processing and reporting tasks.
Challenges in Design
The table summarizes challenges commonly faced in MIS design along

with suggested solutions. Addressing these can lead to more efficient
systems.
System Implementation
System implementation refers to the processes involved in deploying an information system in

an organization. This phase is critical as it translates plans and designs into a functional system
that meets user needs
Activities:
 Write the code, implement database structures, and integrate subsystems.
 Create and test the functionality, ensuring it meets the specifications.
 Set up the necessary MIS tools (e.g., reporting dashboards, data analytics).
 Conclusion Effective implementation of an MIS requires careful planning,

collaboration, and a focus on user needs. By following structured processes,
organizations can enhance their information management capabilities, improve
decision-making, and ultimately achieve their strategic goals.
System Maintenance
Objective: Monitor, maintain, and enhance the system as needed.

 Types of system maintenance
1. Corrective Maintenance: fixing errors, bugs, or faults within the system’
2. Preventive maintenance: regular and updates to prevent problems
3. Adaptive maintenance : modifying system to accommodate changes
within the hardware or software inline with user preferences.
4. Perfective Maintainace: enhancing system performance or functionality.
Best practices:
1. Regular scheduling
2. Automated tools
3. Documentation
4. Testing and validation
5. User training
6. Continuous monitoring
 MIS Role: Ongoing support is critical for maintaining the reliability of the
MIS tools, ensuring that they continue to provide accurate, real-time
information for business decisions.
 Benefits
1. Reduced down time thus increased system availability.
2. Improved system performance
3. Enhanced data security
4. Better user experience and satisfaction
5. Extended system life span
6. Cost savings through proactive maintenance
