...Helle XBIS/219 Hann So Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is an abstract model used in project management that describes the stages involved in an information system development project from an initial practical study through maintenance of the completed application. Software development, which was developed many years ago, consisted of a programmer writing code to solve a problem or automate a procedure. Now systems are so big and abstract that teams of analysts, programmers, testers and users must work together to produce the millions of lines of custom code which drive operations. The following is the SDLC models which were created, the seven structures are: waterfall, fountain, and spiral, build and fix, rapid prototyping, incremental and synchronize and stabilize. The SDLC makes certain that all structures provide the standardized process for all the phases of any system development effort. These phases are in specific order and must be completed step by step. The first step is planning. A systems analyst, who may work outside of the company or be an outside consultant, will outline a proposed system, develop a budget and create a detailed development schedule. This helps the company to understand the problem fully and in detail of all the requirements of an information systems solution. Others responsible for the systems development is an upper management team who is in control of reviewing the body...

...ISACA makes no claim that the Segregation of Duties Control Matrix is an industry standard. The material is solely intended as a general guideline to assist in identifying potential conflicts. Functions, designations, nature of business processes, technology deployed and risks may vary from one organization to another. In determining the proper controls, the IS auditing professional should apply his or her own professional judgment to the specific circumstances presented within an enterprise or information technology environment. CISA Review Manual 2005 1 Chapter 2 SEGREGATION OF DUTIES WITHIN IS Actual job titles and organizational structures may vary greatly from one organization to another, depending on the size and nature of the business. However, it is important for an IS auditor to obtain information to assess the relationship among various job functions, responsibilities and authorities in assessing adequate segregation of duties. The segregation of duties avoids the possibility that a single person could be responsible for diverse and critical functions in such a way that errors or misappropriations could occur and not be detected in a timely...

...The systems analyst has reviewed the service request and studied a listing of what systems are currently in place. Using the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology, the analyst should complete the request within the six month time frame requested by Mr. McCauley. Completing this request on time will allow the HR department to use the new system by the second quarter of the next year (University of Phoenix, 2011). Project Overview The current system is linked to a financial systems package that only keeps track of employee information. Many of the sub-systems were created and are run by individuals such as managers or data entry clerks. Currently, there are seven different sub-systems operating within the HR department. All but one sub-system is run internally by Riordan personnel. Workers' Compensation is outsourced to a third-party provider, which uses its system and keeps its records. The sub-systems use different methods of collecting and viewing data. The common thread seems to be the use of Excel. Hard copy files are stored in random locations such as locked files in offices or a central storage area. There is little consistency in how the systems are run. Mr. McCauley would like to see all of the current information systems be combined into one fully integrated system. Desired Methodology The SDLC is a key factor in the development of an integrated system that will allow the HR department to function more efficiently. The analyst will cover...

From a technical perspective, an information system collects, stores, and disseminates information from an organization’s environment and internal operations to support organizational functions and decision making, communication, coordination, control, analysis, and visualization. Information systems transform raw data into useful information through three basic activities: input, processing, and output. From a business perspective, an information system provides a solution to a problem or challenge facing a firm and provides real economic value to the business. 3. Identify and describe the three dimensions of information systems. An information system represents a combination of management, organization, and technology elements. The management dimension of information systems involves leadership, strategy, and management behavior. The technology dimensions consist of computer hardware, software, data management...

...Database Final Exam review 1. What is data? Data are values of qualitative or quantitative variables, belonging to a set of items 2. What is information? Data becomes information after it has been processed to add context, relevance and purpose. 3. Role of data and information – Data and information allow users to make better decisions based on good information and data 4. Field – a column in a table which is a property of an entity (attribute) 5. Record – A row or tuple in a table 6. Tuple – A record or row in a table 7. ACID - ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. Atomicity means if one part of the transaction fails, all of the transaction fails, leaving the database unchanged. Consistency means the data written must be valid according to all the rules and the rules are applied from state to state. Isolation means that the data used during the execution of a transaction cannot be used by a second transaction until the first one is completed. It is executed as if it were being executed serially. Durability ensures that once transaction changes are done, they are permanent and cannot be undone or lost, even in the event of a system failure. 8. What is data redundancy and which characteristics of the file system can lead to it? Data redundancy exists when unnecessarily duplicated data are found in the database. It is the result of poorly designed databases which allow the data to be stored in different locations...

...Abstract This paper is in response to Riordan Manufacturing service request SR-rm-004 and will analyze the HR system and how to integrate the existing tools in use today into a single application. Riordan is seeking an upgraded system for their human resources department. In this paper I will identify and describe each phase of this new system development life cycle project from beginning to end. We will break down each section to make sure that each phase of the project is well communicated and answer any questions that may arise. The COO of Riordan Manufacturing, requests an analysis of the HR system. The request is for an integration of the existing range of tools into one unified system. Riordan is looking for a modern information system for the human resources department. A system plan to improve human resources department information systems will be the basis of this summary. History and Background of Riordan Manufacturing Riordan Manufacturing Inc. began with Dr. Riordan, a chemistry professor. Dr. Riordan received approval for a few patents that involved processing polymers into super strong plastic substrates. In 1991 Dr. Riordan started Riordan Plastics, Inc. after he discovered the commercial power and economic benefits of his patents. Riordan took on a new direction of paying more attention to research and development. He also made sure he maintained the licenses of those patents he had already obtained to help further is business...
