Development

 

 

 

 

Many computer systems work poorly. This affects systems from large, expensive
government systems to small company applications. The reason is usually poor
systems analysis and design, not hardware or programming. Too often the people
who do the work do not know how to help the customer to find out what he or she needs.  

The next most likely cause is poor data design. There is no excuse. Methods for
creating complete and flexible data structures have been around for forty years.
Laziness, over-confidence and lack of knowledge in the analyst, result in duplication,
inability to access data, and problems when changes have to be made.

I am certificated by the Information Systems Examination Board for
systems analysis and design. I have produced many systems, mostly using
networked Access. This works cheaply and effectively, and is more than adequate
for small or medium companies.
