1. What are the major responsibilities of System Analysis?
A systems analyst solves business problems using information systems technology by

thoroughly understanding issues, considering multiple solutions
Requirements Gathering: - Collecting and documenting user and system requirements through
interviews, surveys, and observations.
Feasibility Analysis: - Evaluating economic, technical, operational, and legal feasibility of

proposed systems.
Stakeholder Communication: Act as a liaison between stakeholders, developers, and users to

ensure alignment.
Testing and Validation: Ensure that the system meets the specified requirements through
testing.
System Implementation: Oversee the deployment of the system and ensure it integrates
smoothly with existing processes.
2. How does Economic Feasibility can be built?

Economic feasibility analysis techniques is essential to make informed decisions in architectural
projects. These techniques help evaluate whether a project is financially viable, analyzing costs,
benefits, risks, and potential returns. Key techniques include methods like Cost-Benefit Analysis,
Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR), among others.
Return on Investment (ROI): Calculate the potential return the organization can expect from
the investment in the system.
The Internal Rate of Return (IRR):- is a metric used in financial analysis to estimate the
profitability of potential investments.
- The IRR formula is used implicitly in computer software and financial calculators.
Net Present Value (NPV):- is a technique used to evaluate the profitability of an investment or
project by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows.
Cost-Benefit Analysis: Evaluate the expected costs vs. benefits of the system to determine its
financial viability.\
Return on Investment (ROI): Calculate the potential return the organization can expect from
the investment in the system.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Consider all costs associated with the system, including
development, maintenance, and operational costs.

3. How does Technical Feasibility can be built?
Technical feasibility evaluates the technical complexity of the expert system and often
involves determining whether the expert system can be implemented
Resource Availability:- Assessing whether the necessary hardware, software, and skills are
available within the organization.
Departmental Systems:- Systems designed for specific departments within an organization,

such as HR or Finance systems. They support departmental functions and improve efficiency.

Technology Assessment:- Evaluating the current technologies available and their suitability for
the proposed system.
4. List and describe some open source Software?

WordPress: - is a free, open-source CMS (content management system) written in PHP
which uses MySQL database. Earlier it was only known as a blogging platform but now it has
evolved to be much more than that.
Linux: - A widely used open-source operating system that is known for its stability and
security. It’s used in servers, desktops, and embedded systems.
Apache HTTP Server:- A popular web server software that delivers web content and handles
web requests. It is known for its flexibility and extensive features.
MySQL: - An open-source relational database management system that is widely used for web
applications and data storage.
PHP: - Stands for hypertext pre-processor.

 It is a scripting language used mainly for web development. The plus point is that it can
be embedded into HTML.
 It is said to be the best open-source software example. This language comes in handy for
managing dynamic content, session tracking, and creating e-commerce sites.
GNU:- It is a congregation of software that can be used as an operating system or as parts of an
OS. This operating system respects the freedom of the users.

 It’s a UNIX-like OS indicating that it is an amalgamation of many applications, libraries,
and even games. The job of this software is to allocate machine resources and to talk to
the hardware.
Audacity:- is a free multi-track audio editor and recorder; that provides numerous effects to be
applied to audio to make it more appealing to ears.
 The versatility makes it unique- one can edit recordings, and conversations and can make
music also.
 The key features of this software include recording audio from different sources,
processing audio, and many more.
5. List and explain the 4 types of System Level?
Enterprise Systems: - Large-scale systems that integrate various departmental systems across
an organization. Examples include ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and CRM (Customer
Relationship Management) systems.
Inter-organizational Systems: - Systems that facilitate communication and data exchange

between different organizations. Examples include supply chain management systems and
collaborative platforms.
Individual Systems:- These are standalone systems that perform specific functions for
individual users or small groups. Examples include personal computers and mobile applications.

Here's an overview of the major responsibilities of system analysis, feasibility assessments, open-source
software, and system types.
## 1. Major Responsibilities of System Analysis
- **Requirements Gathering**: Collect and analyze user needs to define system requirements.
- **System Design**: Create specifications for system architecture, components, and interfaces.
- **Feasibility Studies**: Assess economic, technical, and operational feasibility of proposed systems.
- **Documentation**: Produce detailed documentation for system specifications, designs, and user
manuals.
- **Stakeholder Communication**: Act as a liaison between stakeholders, developers, and users to

ensure alignment.
- **Testing and Validation**: Ensure that the system meets the specified requirements through testing.
- **System Implementation**: Oversee the deployment of the system and ensure it integrates smoothly
with existing processes.
## 2. Building Economic Feasibility
- **Cost-Benefit Analysis**: Evaluate the expected costs vs. benefits of the system to determine its
financial viability.

- **Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)**: Consider all costs associated with the system, including
development, maintenance, and operational costs.
- **Return on Investment (ROI)**: Calculate the potential return the organization can expect from the
investment in the system.
- **Funding Sources**: Identify potential sources of funding for the project, such as internal budgets or
external investors.
- **Risk Assessment**: Analyze potential financial risks and their impact on the project's success.
## 3. Building Technical Feasibility
- **Technology Assessment**: Evaluate existing technologies to determine if they can support the
proposed system.
- **Resource Availability**: Ensure that the necessary hardware, software, and technical expertise are
available.
- **Integration Analysis**: Assess how well the new system can integrate with existing systems and
infrastructure.
- **Scalability**: Determine whether the system can grow and adapt to future demands.
- **Development Timeline**: Estimate the time required for development and identify any technical
challenges that may arise.
## 4. Open Source Software
- **Linux**: An open-source operating system kernel that is widely used for servers and desktops,
known for its stability and flexibility.
- **Apache HTTP Server**: A popular web server software that allows users to host websites and web
applications.
- **GIMP**: A powerful open-source image editing software that provides functionality similar to Adobe
Photoshop.
- **LibreOffice**: A free and open-source office suite that includes applications for word processing,
spreadsheets, presentations, and more.

- **WordPress**: A content management system (CMS) used for creating websites and blogs, known for
its ease of use and extensibility.
## 5. Four Types of System Levels
- **Operational Level**: Focuses on the day-to-day operations of an organization. Systems at this level
support routine tasks and processes, such as transaction processing systems.
- **Management Level**: Aimed at middle management, these systems assist in monitoring and
controlling organizational activities. Examples include management information systems (MIS) and
decision support systems (DSS).
- **Strategic Level**: Designed for senior management, these systems support long-term decision-
making and strategic planning. Executive information systems (EIS) fall into this category.
- **Technical Level**: This level includes systems that support technical activities and processes, often
involving engineering and scientific applications. These systems can include simulation models and
technical design software.
This overview provides a comprehensive understanding of the roles of system analysis, feasibility
assessments, open-source software, and types of systems.
