One Intrict-less class (INTRICT)

This week, we only had one intrict class due to Sir Oli getting sick last Wednesday. Monday was a continuation of last week's discussion. We discussed Information System Development this week.
Basically, there are 5 steps in developing a information system. The first step is Planning. Planning is important because this is where everything about the new information system begins. Without it, it is nearly impossible to do the rest of the steps in developing an information system. The next step is Analysis. This is the step where we look and think about how the new information system will be conducted. There are tow steps in analyzing. These are conducting preliminary investigations and performing detailed analysis. The 3rd step is Design. Designing is the creation of the new informations system. This is the step where we actually create and develop the new IS. the 4th step is implementation. Like what it simply says, it is the implementation of the new IS. This is the step where we actually try to use the new IS. The 5th and final step is the support and maintenance. This is the step where we see whether the new IS is a click or not. This step is a life long process and will be done up until that IS dies. These are the 5 steps in developing an Information System.

We were also given a problem at the end of the Monday class of Intrict. The information problems are data collection, information processing and distribution and access to information. Basically, if we look deep enough to these problems, they have one common problem. It is the lack of communication. In order to solve this problem, we have to create an IS that will improve the communication and transaction of the systems in a particular company. I'll suggest an IS that will make communication really fast and stress free.

Always to remember for the rest of ICTM life (according to Sir Oli)
