  16. Information Technologies • The world is moving. So, many new technologies are coming. • Mobile computing • Grid computing • P2P networks (BT, Gnutella, SKYPE) • Chinese computing • Biometric • Autonomic computing • Search IBM.COM for more EC Websites Development

  17. Information Technologies • Mobile Computing • A type of computing model in which the computers can be networked together even the computers are moving anywhere. • How to connect? How to share resource? • Autonomic computing • A type of computing model in which the system is self-healing, self-configured, self-protected and self-managed. EC Websites Development

  18. Information Technologies • Each technology has its own limitation • Security problems • Programming difficulties • Training – programmer or user • Version problem – Window 95/98/2000/XP • User account support • Transparency – Window versus Linux • Maintenance and Support EC Websites Development

  19. Information Technologies • Development team should have enough knowledge to select the appropriate technologies for the system. • Does a development team should learn all these technologies, such as Java, Ajax, RSS Feed, etc.? EC Websites Development

  20. Types of Information Systems • By management level (Conventional Approach) • Transaction processing system (operational) • Management information system • Decision support system • Executive information system (Strategic) • Education levels and computer usage skills? EC Websites Development

  21. Types of Information Systems EC Websites Development

  22. Types of IS: Conventional EC Websites Development

  23. Types of IS: Contemporary EC Websites Development

  24. Types of IS: Contemporary • Where should the “website” (or websites) be located? • What business process (or processes) should it support? • Business operations = Business logic = Business processes. All three terms will be used interchangeably. EC Websites Development

  25. Conventional Designed in a way to fit in the operations of a business unit. Different department will have a different system. Scope of the system is smaller. Analysis and design are simpler. Easy to maintain. Contemporary Designed in a way to fit in the operations of the whole enterprise. Processes or services oriented. Scope of the system is huge. Analysis and design are complicated ? Difficult to maintain ? Conventional VS Contemporary EC Websites Development

  26. Global Changes EC Websites Development

  27. Changes in Information Management • Factors leading to the changes • Business environment • Management Practice • Technologies • Disaster • Misc EC Websites Development

  28. Changes in Information Management • Business environment • Moving towards Asia, then possibly SE Asia and Latin America • Globalization • Management • Total quality management • Customer satisfaction • Cost-effective EC Websites Development

  29. Changes in Information Management • Technologies • Wired to wireless • Powerful PC, notebook, mobile phone, PDA • Disaster • 911 Attack • Earthquake • Tsunami • Misc • Energy • Water, Air • Food EC Websites Development

  30. Changes in Information Management • Implications • Change in the information requirement • Hourly data versus daily data • Multiple languages • Change in culture and habit of using computer • Hardcopy document versus web document • Fixed line telephone versus Internet phone (Skype) • Change in the volume/speed of information flow • Change in the cost and profit of a company EC Websites Development

  31. Changes in Information Management • Implications • Customer-oriented thinking (customer controls everything) • Need of disaster recovery plan • Corporate social responsibility • Technologies are cheaper and cheaper • Profit margin is decreasing (Don’t expect too much on earning) • Install new system or using new technology is not for making money, just for surviving in the industry. EC Websites Development

  32. Business Environment EC Websites Development

  33. Business Environment (80’s – 90’s) EC Websites Development

  34. Business Environment (00’s – 08’s) EC Websites Development

  35. Business Environment (Beyond 2008) What would it be? EC Websites Development

  36. Business Environment (Beyond 2008) EC Websites Development

  37. What Have Not Changes? • System is still in a supporting role (not a decision role) of a company. • System itself does not accounted for making money, but the products or services that the company provides. • System itself does not accounted for profitable, but the business processes that the system supports. EC Websites Development

  38. Overview of Systems Development EC Websites Development

  39. Key Concepts in Systems Development • Initiating a systems development • Participants involved in a SD project • Reasons for having a new system • Information systems planning • High level system requirement • Feasibility analysis (Financially and technologically) • Selection of system development model • Objectives and schedule for SD EC Websites Development

  40. Key Concepts in Systems Development • Build the system (System Development) • Detail analysis – Precise system requirements (user accepted), a list of user acceptance tests • System design – modules, interfacing amongst modules, hardware requirements, programming language, OS • Coding • In-house testing – unit test, system test, stress test • User acceptance test EC Websites Development

  41. Participants in Systems Development EC Websites Development

  42. Participants in Systems Development • Stakeholders • Individuals who either themselves or through the organization are beneficiaries of the systems development effort. • Users • Individuals who interact with the system regularly • System Analyst • Professional who specializes in analyzing and designing business systems. • Programmers • Individual responsible for modifying or developing programs to satisfy user requirements.

  43. Management Team Application of IT Business Process Staff, Clients Suppliers Business Process EC Websites Development

  44. Reasons to Initiate a Development Project EC Websites Development

  45. Critical and difficult task Planning Information Systems Planning The translation of strategic and organizational goals into systems development initiatives. Creative Analysis The investigation of new approaches to existing problems. EC Websites Development

  46. Critical and difficult task One approach, not universal Planning Critical Analysis The unbiased and careful questioning of whether system elements are related in the most effective or efficient ways. EC Websites Development

  47. Planning • Design objectives • Performance objectives • Quality or usefulness of the output • The speed at which the output is generated • Cost objectives • Development costs • Costs related to the uniqueness of the system application • Fixed investments in hardware and related equipment • On-going operating costs of the system EC Websites Development

  48. Planning • Challenges • We would like to have a website for IEC. • We would like to have a website for IEC, which is similar to the following: • www.ucla.edu • www.anderson.ucla.edu • www.cism.kingston.ac.uk • www.igec.umbc.edu • We would like to have a website for IEC, with design, outlook and functions similar to the above. EC Websites Development

  49. System Development Model • Waterfall model • Spiral Model • Component-based Development • Prototyping • Rapid Application Development • Others EC Websites Development

  50. Waterfall Model Systems Investigation Problems and opportunities are identified Systems Analysis Existing systems and work processes are studied Systems Design Defines how the information system will do what it must do to solve the problem. EC Websites Development
