TASK1 (A)
A System Analyst studies the current system to help him/her to see which adjustments and improvements can be made. For this to happen, the System Analyst needs to analyse many documents. The purpose of a document analysis is to gather as much as information about the current system (e.g. if system is running efficiently) so that the new system will not have the current system problems.
TASK1 (B)
There are several inputting methods on the current system in the resort. For the data to be stored, the forms and documents must be filled in. The data can be stored either by paper or be on the computer. The system analyst must check the documents so no faults can appear on how the data is inputted.
The five of the main documents that the systems analyst will have considered is:
Booking Details Document: This will contain data on rooms that are booked, rooms that are free, the room prices and rooms which are reserved for Off Peak/ Peak seasons.
Room Details Document: This data will be on the computer because of the many rooms the resort can provide. Singe/Double bed rooms and ‘Premium View’ rooms; details of these rooms will be provided in this document. This document will also contain the charges for the ‘Room Service’.
