  • In order to create an information system, initial database study needs to be performed to determine the objectives of the information system.
  • The operations and processes of the Tiny College are studied in order to identify the opportunities, problems and constraints.
  • Problems and constraints identified are being established in the form of precise definition.
  • The definition obtained will help designer ensure that the design will improve the efficiency of Tiny College’s in terms of operations.
  • Thus improving the operational efficiency will create new opportunity for the Tiny College by providing new services which will improve its position in terms of competitive analysis.
  • Initial study to the database is made done, possible alternatives designs are provided to the end user.
  • The end user will eventually choose the option that will be more appropriate for the college.
  • Developing information system of this size will have different number of peoples involved in the design process.
  • Thus there may likely possibilities of large number of peoples involved by providing opinions regarding the proposed design and system features.
  • In order to develop an ideal system the designer must merge all the ideas and opinions that are provided to him...
