Assignment :You were tasked by the IC-dean to evaluate the enrollment system of the university, list and briefly describe the characteristics that an analyst (you) examines when choosing or defining deployment environment.
Enrollment Process of University of Southeastern Philippines
The university’s enrollment process includes advisement, registration and payment of fees. Each college prescribes a set of requirements in the different course offered by them provided that is duly approved by the university president.
For freshmen, they are to present the requirements such as the HS grades, USEPAT exam results (passed), Admission Slips through passing the interview, medical certificate, among others. For upper classmen, they are to present the clearance duly signed by the different authorities and the Student Handbook or College Passbook with Scholastic Record duly signed by subject teachers. There are also requirements for the transferees such as the 2.0 grades, Copy of the Transcript of Records, Certificate of the Eligibility to Transfer, Certificate of Good Moral Character from the former school, Medical Certificate among others. For cross enrollees, written permit from his dean or the registrar is required. For former students, Official Transcript of Records and clearance required. For foreign students, they are required to comply with the academic standards and evaluation of CHED.
The university has its own enrolment system. From my own observations, some university residents, be it a staff, faculty and especially the students, are not satisfied with the said system. They have complaints such as the long line and the time wasted or consumed in complying just a single requirement. It is not that effective compared to the other university who could cater hundreds of enrollees by just a day. Because if it is, a student be enrolled in a day without that hassle and hypertension feelings. Sometimes, developers of the system think that they already did the things required in their system. Only that they find out that their clients are not that satisfied. The success of the system also depends upon the environment on which it is being deployed.
Thus, here is the brief list and description of the characteristics we have to examine when choosing or defining the deployment environment of the system.
• Fully Assessed business requirements
It is important to assess the business requirements of the organization in which the system is to be deployed. Assessing business requirements involved the assessment of business models and their integration with technology. Business analysis involves the analysis if the business needs, policies and market business approaches, modeling and the interpretation of business rules and requirements for technical systems (generally IT)
Within the systems development life cycle domain (SDLC), the business analyst basically performs as a bridge person of the business side of an enterprise and the providers of services to the enterprise. A Common alternative role in the IT sector is business analyst, systems analyst, and functional analyst, although some organizations may differentiate between these titles and corresponding responsibilities.
• Identified available resources
It is equally important to identify the resources available in developing the system. It is in the form of software, hardware, peopleware, time plan, costs, etc. It may also mean the physical components of a computer system, in the form of computer hardware. Software includes all the various forms and roles that digitally stored data may have and play in a computer (or similar system), regardless of whether the data is used as code for a CPU, or other interpreter, or whether it represents other kinds of information. Peopleware can refer to anything that has to do with the role of people in the development or use of computer software and hardware systems, including such issues as developer productivity, teamwork, group dynamics, the psychology of programming, project management, organizational factors, human interface design, and human-machine-interaction. Time is part of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify the motions of objects. In business, retail, and accounting, a cost is the value of money that has been used up to produce something, and hence is not available for use anymore.
In one of my researches, I found out that deployment environment does not only talk about the physical environment such as the university itself along with its residents. It has something to do with the development and deployment phase; not just the actual implementation. But unfortunately, I can’t define the exact meaning.
To define the Deployment Environment is just one of the steps in the Software development. Its characteristics include the specifications of the important information about the deployment environment. It includes database, match engine, and standardization engine vendors.
