BUSINESS SYSTEMS DESIGN - 5 Days - Cost : £1950

WHO WILL BENEFIT

Business systems analysts taking systems development from outline design through to detailed system specification. Especially suitable for delegates who have completed the systems analysis course it is equally applicable to people working on either new developments or systems enhancements in both PC based and mainframe environments.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Together with Systems Analysis this course provides delegates with a complete set of tools and techniques essential to the modern systems developer. Upon successful completion delegates are able to:
o Define the task of systems design and the need for structured methods
o Interpret the deliverables of analysis
o Develop a logical data structure or Entity Model
o Perform relational data analysis and construct TNF tables
o Define logical processes using Action Diagrams
o Construct simple Entity Life Histories
o Define the importance of controls and security
o Draw Logical Access Maps
o Recognise the factors governing logical to physical design
o Understand how users must participate in the design task
o Undertake a structured walk-through of a design model

COURSE FEATURES

Together with Systems Analysis, this course now provides a complete set of techniques essential to the modern Systems Developer. Starting with an outline solution, and working in small syndicates, delegates complete the design of key elements in a modern system integrating conventional, PC based and legacy systems.

Your delegates are thus able to apply their techniques both to new developments and systems enhancements.
