SYSTEM INTEGRATION & ARCHITECTURE

(Good for 1 week (3 hours)

Course description:

This course focuses on the integration of information systems in

organizations, the process by which different computing systems and software
application are linked together physically or functionally. It examines the strategies
and methods for blending a set of interdependent systems into a functioning or
unified whole, thereby enabling two or more applications to interact and exchange
data seamlessly. The course will explore tools and techniques for systems
integration as well as proven management practices for integration projects.
Credit Hours: 3

Pre-Requisite: none

Instructions to students:

1. This training module is designed for you to understand what is database system;
2. Read carefully and participate actively in this learning process;
3. An assessment after the comprehension and capability after reading this module;
4. Stay home, be safe.

Submission/requirements:

This module shall be retuned in the NIPSC Batad Guard house upon
completion of this module.

I. INTRODUCTION

In this module, Many systems are built to easy, improve and transform
organizations.
Some organizations have many departments which run systems which are
independent of each other.
And systems built sometimes, may not have an abstract view (architecture)
which leads to failure of system interoperability.
There is need to have architectural view of the system as a priority to help in
the design to avoid the likeliness of system failure.
Besides after the system has been designed and developed in consideration of
the size of the organization, i.e. most especially when the organization is large,
need is required to integrate such systems to ensure flexibility, Speed, Cost ,
Standardization, Data integrity, reliability and robustness.
This can help Information Technology (IT), energy, and financial services
industry among others to have an easy to use integrated system.

II. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon completion of this module, the students must have:

1. Identify the Project Phases and the Project Life Cycle;

2. Learn the Phases of the Project Life Cycle;
3. Understand the product life cycle.

III. LEARNING CONTENTS

Topics

Project Phases and the Project Life Cycle

• A project life cycle is a collection of project phases

• Project phases vary by project or industry, but some general phases include

• concept

• development

• implementation

• support

 Phases of the Project Life Cycle

Product Life Cycles

 Products also have life cycles

 The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a framework for describing

the phases involved in developing and maintaining information systems

 Systems development projects can follow

 Predictive models: The scope of the project can be clearly articulated

and the schedule and cost can be predicted.

 Adaptive models: Projects are mission driven and component based,

using time-based cycles to meet target dates.

Predictive Life Cycle Models

 The waterfall model has well-defined, linear stages of systems development

and support.

 The spiral model shows that software is developed using an iterative or spiral
approach rather than a linear approach.

 The incremental release model provides for progressive development of

operational software.

 The prototyping model is used for developing prototypes to clarify user

requirements.

 The RAD model is used to produce systems quickly without sacrificing quality.

Adaptive Life Cycle Models

 Extreme Programming (XP): Developers program in pairs and must write the
tests for their own code. XP teams include developers, managers, and users.

 Scrum: Repetitions of iterative development are referred to as sprints, which

normally last thirty days. Teams often meet every day for a short meeting,
called a scrum, to decide what to accomplish that day. Works best for object-
oriented technology projects and requires strong leadership to coordinate the
work.

Distinguishing Project Life Cycles and Product Life Cycles

• The project life cycle applies to all projects, regardless of the products being
produced

• Product life cycle models vary considerably based on the nature of the
product

• Most large IT systems are developed as a series of projects

• Project management is done in all of the product life cycle phases

Why Have Project Phases and Management Reviews?

• A project should successfully pass through each of the project phases in order
to continue on to the next

• Management reviews (also called phase exits or kill points) should occur after
each phase to evaluate the project’s progress, likely success, and continued
compatibility with organizational goals.
