75. Activities and examples of the major types of analytical modeling (Using DSS) By Rakesh Roshan Type of Analytical Modeling Activities and examples What-if Analysis Observing how changes to selected variables affect other variables. Example : What if we cut advertising by 10 percent? What would happen to sales? Sensitivity analysis Observing how repeated changes to a single variable affect other variables. Example : Let’s cut advertising by $100 repeatedly so we can see its relationship to sales. Goal-Seek analysis Making repeated changes to selected variables until a chosen variable reaches a target value. Example : Let’s try increases in advertising until sales reach $1 million. Optimization analysis Finding an optimum value for selected variables, given certain constraints. Example : What’s the best amount of advertising to have, given our budget and choice of media?

97. Developing System Solution By Rakesh Roshan

102. By Rakesh Roshan End User Development In end user development, IS professionals play a consulting role, while you do your own application development. Sometimes a staff of user consultants may be available to help you and other end users with your application development efforts. This may include training in the use of application packages; selection of hardware and software ; assistance in gaining access to organization databases and of course , assistance in analysis, design and implementing the business application of IT that you read. Control What control are needed to protect against accidental loss or damage? Is there a need to control access to data used by the application? Processing What operations on the inputs are needed to produce the desired output? What software can most effectively support those operations? Storage Does the application use previously stored data? Does it create data that must be stored for future use by this or other applications? Output What information is needed by end users and in what form should the output be presented? Input What data are available, in what form?

104. Evaluating Hardware, Software and Services By Rakesh Roshan Companies may use a scoring system of evaluation when there are several competing proposals for a hardware or software acquisition. They give each evaluation factor a certain number of maximum possible points. Then they assign each competing proposal points of each factor, depending on how well it meets the user’s specifications. Scoring evaluation factors for several proposals helps organize and document the evaluation process. It also spotlights the strength and weaknesses of each proposals. Large companies frequently evaluating proposed hardware and software by requiring the processing of special benchmark test programs and test data. Benchmarking simulates the processing of typical jobs on several computers and evaluates their performances. Users can then evaluate test results to determine which hardware device or software package displayed the best performance characteristics.

105. By Rakesh Roshan Hardware Evaluation Factor Performance What is its speed, capacity and throughput? Cost What is its lease or purchase price? What will be its cost of operations and maintenance? Reliability What are the risk of malfunction and its maintenance requirements? What are its error control and diagnostics features? Compatibility Is it compatible with existing hardware and software? Is it compatible with hardware and software provided by competing suppliers? Technology In what year of its product life cycle is it? Does it use a new untested technology or does it run the risk of obsolescence? Ergonomics Has it been “ human factor engineered” with the user in mind? Is it user-friendly, designed to be safe ,comfortable and easy to use? Connectivity Can it be easily connected to wide area and local area networks that use different types of network technology and bandwidths alternatives? Scalability Can it handle the processing demands of a wide range of end users, transactions, queries and other information processing requirements? Software Is system and application software available that can best use this hardware? Support Are the services required to support and maintain it available?

106. By Rakesh Roshan Software Evaluation Factors Quality Is it bug free, does it have many errors in its program code? Efficiency Is the software is well developed system of program code that does not use much CPU time, memory capacity or disk space? Flexibility Can it handle our business process easily, without major modification? Security Does it provide control procedures for errors , malfunctions and improper use? Connectivity Is it web enabled so it is easily access internet, Intranet and extranets, on its own , or by working with web browsers or other network software? Maintenance Will new features and bug fixes be easily implemented by our own software developers? Documentation Is the software well documented ? Does it include help screens and helpful software agents? Hardware Does existing hardware have the features required to best use this software? Other Factors

107. By Rakesh Roshan Evaluation Factors for IS Services Performance What has been their past performance in view of their past promises? Systems Development Are websites and other e-business developers available? What are their quality and cost? Maintenance Is equipment maintenance provided? What are its quality and cost? Conversion What systems development and installation services will they provide during the conversion period? Training Is the necessary training of personnel provided? What are its quality and cost?
