System Analysis & Design Training Course
System Analysis and Design course provides a methodical approach to developing computer systems including systems planning, design, testing, implementation and software maintenance. Emphasis is on the strategies and techniques of systems analysis and design for producing logical methodologies for dealing with complexity in the development of information systems. The course approaches the development of information systems (IS) from a problem-solving perspective.
