So what is a system? What is a system anyway? By Russ Finney
Translation: Fang Rain
A system is a manual or automation process designed to complete a business. Some processes may support monthly information collection, others may be used for computing, summary, and new things, and some may be concentrated from a series of hierarchical methods, each process contains a series of necessary Decide. A system can be a fully manual process, a fully automated process, or both. However, all systems are at any time, it looks from one or more types.
Traditional mechanisms have a long-operated history, stable product or service, which is developed in many companies, more inclined to slowly upgrade business processes. In these companies, the actual system of manual and automatic mixing may exist. As time goes, it will become institutionalized. If this is a big, agency bloated company, most business clients will gradually focus on some small personal tasks, and only some of the old employees will do with the impression of the entire major contour.
Regular adjustment of many companies' business activities are regulated by government entities, and they may have some system, process, and individuals that have some of the variable rules, regulations to adapt and timely react. Depending on the adjusted rhythm, and the number of notices obtained in advance, the system may be upgraded to a new institutional environment, or they might degrade to multi-block, temporary uncertain solutions. Statific for principles Some systems are only based on simple, accepted business principles. A well-established, well defined approach to execute existing business, all companies follow this mode. Audit (G / L, A / P, A / R, etc.), the salary system, the financial statements are suitable for this category. Since different companies, the basic methods of the system between the factory are only very different, a large number of non-own unique (meaning of off the self), using English is Available Without Self, or on the Other Envirement - Fang Yu) Automation alternative can be adapted to enterprises from the largest and minimal enterprise entity. In addition to a thorough business principle, these systems are the most stable, minimum dynamic changes in all. It is often "growth" from their current system, which will cause change. Industrial Manufacturing Each industrial enterprise has a unique feature that determines the method and way of organizing business activities. These industrial practice activities have been embodied in the company's upgraded system. These systems are also more likely to be maximized because they are considered to represent a new, advanced system. Any type of significant organizational, process or systematic upgrade provides higher quality, lower cost, or better customer service. Enables companies to have important competition weapons. There is no subtle problem with this type of system change. Since they represent the life cycle of the company. Full innovative last type of system is these innovations. They are established when they are formed in a new organization or new service. When these systems develop and upgrade, you must first realize the adventure of the entire short cycle, the benefit of the long cycle is the first question that the entire organization is first to consider. Since the creation of business processes, and the creation of the system architecture tends to "rush", the company should participate in the entire process with as many experts and experienced people. This guarantees a solid foundation for the current business and future growth.
Understanding history, feature, and a special new, or existing system is an important prerequisite for business analysis.
System implementation and support requirements are different in each case. Business analysis and system design must be keen
What is a System Anyway? By Russ Finney A system is a set of manual and automated procedures devised for conducting business. Some procedures may support monthly information gathering, others may consist of calculations, summarizations, and report creation, and still others may center on picking from a series of known alternatives, each with a respective set of required decisions. A system can be a totally manual process, a completely automated process, or a combination somewhere in between. But all systems at one time or another seem to be rooted in one or more of the following sources: Tradition Systems which are developed within companies with long operating histories and stable product or service lines, tend to be based on slowly evolving business procedures Within these companies, a mix of manual and automated practices may exist. Which, over time, become "institutionalized". if The Company is large and bureaucratic, The Masses of Business Clients Become Focused On Small Individua lized tasks, and only a handful of long term employees may really have any idea of the "big picture" of what is really occurring. Regulations Companies which have their business practices regulated by governmental entities, tend to have systems, procedures, and individuals who are adaptive and reactive to the various changing rules and regulations. Depending on the regulatory pace and the amount of advance notification given the company, systems may either smoothly evolve to the new regulatory environment, or they may degrade into "piecemeal"
temporary solutions which seem to live on indefinitely. Principles Some systems are simply based on accepted business principles. An established and well defined way of conducting business exists, and all companies follow this model. Accounting (G / L, A / P, A / R, etc.), payroll, and financial reporting systems all fit into this category. Since only minor differences exist in the fundamental way in which these systems operate from company to company, and from industry to industry, numerous "off the self" automation alternatives exist which suit the largest to the smallest business enterprise. Other than when sweeping business principle changes occur, these systems are by far the most stable and the least dynamic in the organization. Usually a company "grows" out their current systems, and this IS The Situation Which Triggers Change. Industry Practices Every Industry Has Unique Characteristics Which Define The Organization's Approach To Conducting Business. To Conducting Business. THESE INDUSTRY PRACTICES BECOME embodied in the systems which evolve within the company. These systems also tend to be the most closely guarded since they are perceived to represent a competitive advantage. Any type of significant organizational, procedural, or system advance which provides higher quality, lower costs, or Better Customer Service Can Give The Company An Important Competitive "Edge". Changes to these Types of Systems Are no trivial matter since the represent the "lifeblood"
of the enterprise. Innovation The last group of systems are those born from innovation. They are created when a new organization is formed or a new product or service is offered. As these systems develop and evolve, an awareness of the overall short term risks and the long term benefits should be the prime concern of the organization. Since the creation of the procedures and the associated system infrastructure tends to be from "scratch", a company is well advised to harness as much expertise and experience as possible during the process. This insures that a solid foundation is created for both current business requirements as well support for future growth needs. Understanding both the history, character, and source of a particular new or existing system is a vital requirement of the business analyst. System implementation and support Options Vary in Each of The Above Situations. The Business Analyst and System Designer Must Be Keenly Aware of The Business Sensitivities Surrounding System IMPLEMENTATION OR CHANGE EFfort. Understanding these "Roots" of the particular system is the first step. Grasp surrounding the business awareness of the system implementation or changing.
