Systems analysis and design in a changing world

de John W. Satzinger, Robert B. Jackson, Stephen D. Burd

"This text presents a balanced focus on concepts and techniques from both the traditional, structured approach and the newer, object-oriented approach to system development, providing the most complete and up-to-date coverage of systems analysis and design available. The authors emphasize fundamentals of lasting value, while acknowledging the diverse development environments available in the real world today. Project management, system modeling, object technology with UML, client-server architecture, the Internet, and packages/ERP are all addressed within the context of the system development lifecycle. Instructors may use this text to emphasize the traditional approach, the object-oriented approach, or both approaches, while referring to appropriate examples from one integrated case study. Finally, there is an alternative available for analysis and design courses that can prepare students for today and for tomorrow."--Jacket.
