Preface

This is a substantially new and different edition of Systems Analysis and Design.We hope that the new materials bring it up to date and that we’ve kept the best of the old. It has been written for people studying systems analysis and design or who are already working in systems teams. People who are involved in the development of new systems or the development of new systems analysts, or both, have written it. It is intended to be a practical book, easy to read and easy to use. It follows the same structure as the previous edition and has new and updated material in it. There are more case studies and exercises too and we’ve cross referenced the topics to the ISEB syllabus in systems analysis and design. There is also a web site for the book for the first time. We’re excited about the opportunities that this offers. We want to make it interesting and useful to use. You’ll find more information about Denton Motor Holdings and some answer pointers to some of the case study problems and exercises. There are also some end-of-chapter quizzes and the answers to them. You could use these to check your understanding as you go through the book. For more information, log on to www.booksites.net/yeates.

We hope that you enjoy the book. It can’t tell you everything you need to know about analysis and design; no book can do that. There is no substitute for experience.

Finally our thanks to James Cadle, John Koenigs berger, Steve Copson and Murdoch Mactaggart for reviewing some of the material for us, and to the panel lists who helped with the final chapter – Debbie Paul, Frank Jones, Jean-Noel Ezingeard, Nigel Underwood and Richard Bevan. Also, we would like to thank Amanda Thompson and Tim Parker at Pearson Education for keeping our noses to the grindstone in the nicest possible way as well as Lionel Browne and David Hemsley the project editors.
