Assignment title What Is Systems Analysis?
The purpose of this unit is to:
Enable learners to gain an understanding of the principles of systems analysis and equip them with the skills
to analyse business requirements and design solutions to meet business needs.
Scenario
A large IT support company currently employs a team of technicians to manage their IT infrastructure and
support their customer support needs. Recently, the company has taken over a similar but smaller
company which also employs technical support staff in the same way. The number of IT technicians is
different in both the companies, but the general structure of both IT support units is the same (figure 1).

Other staff members involved in the IT support provision includes staff representatives from different
departments who constitute an IT user group. This group meets with the IT manager monthly to discuss IT
developments and other issues. In addition, other managers, e.g. Finance, Sales, etc., have staff that need
IT support on specialist software.
The company feels that it needs a centralised IT-based support system that will track, monitor and report
on the progress of problems identified by users across the two sites and external clients to improve the IT
support service. To progress this, they have decided to employ a Systems Analyst to undertake the analysis
and design of a new system. (You).
