SDLC methodology has the
following main stages:
1. Assess needs, opportunities and issues.
The existing system is evaluated. Deficiencies are identified. This can
be done by interviewing users of the system and consulting with support
personnel.
2. Define functional and performance specifications for the new
system.
The new system requirements are defined. Deficiencies in the existing
system should be addressed along with proposals for improvement.
3. Design/Develop/Test Software for Systems Integration
The proposed system is designed. Plans are prepared for the logical and
physical construction, hardware, operating systems, programming,
communications, training, and security issues.
The new system is developed. The new components and programs must be
obtained, installed and integrated. System users must be trained. All
aspects of performance must be tested.
4. Support Program Implementation
The system is put into use. The new system is phased in, according to
application or location, and the old system is phased out.
5. Support Operations
System performance is monitored; tuning and synchronization are
performed. Users and help desk calls are observed; Procedures are
changed and supplementary training is conducted, as needed. Changes are
recommended via the Change Control Authority.
6. Evaluate/assess program performance
Once the new system is up and running for a while, it should be
exhaustively evaluated. Maintenance must be kept up rigorously at all
times. Users of the system should be kept up-to-date concerning the
latest modifications and procedures. |

| The global diversity of today’s
information management environment is further demanding improved methods
for accessing information. Information technology and information
management is essential, but alone is insufficient to achieve
competitive advantage. AINS SDLC services can provide knowledge-based,
best-of-breed IT services for optimizing client application and process
environments and maximizing the strategic and tactical value that
clients derive from these systems in order to achieve a competitive
advantage. |
