System Analysis and Design Report
Conduct a system analysis and design of a functional area of a real business. The functional area could be cash collection, payroll, warehousing, production, etc. The goal is to investigate the possibility of implementing an information system to address problems, opportunities and directives in that functional area.
The business under study should be a real entity. It could be an existing organization or a local business. A fictitious business doesn’t provide much insight on the real world.
