Course duration: 3 days

About the Course                                                                                          Registration Form

Systems Analysis defines information systems at the level of the system designer and system builder.

This course applies a model-driven approach to integrate the logical view of the business with the technology view. This approach facilitates the analysis and detailed specification of the physical system requirements of an information system. It focuses on the implementation of an information system that meets business requirements in the real world.

An architecture framework is used for systems analysis that comprehensively covers modelling and specifying the physical viewpoint of the data, process, interface and object dimensions of an information system.

A practical, by-example approach to model building and system specification is used, applying both structured analysis and object-oriented techniques. At the end of the course participants will be able to clearly specify system requirements using these techniques.  

Who Should Attend

Systems Analysts, Business Analysts, Systems Designers, Software Developers, Project Managers.
