This is an individual assignment but you may brainstorm ideas with your team members to get ideas and other perspectives.One of the potential problems mentioned in the chapter with gathering information requirements by observing potential system users is that people may change their behavior when observed. What could you do to overcome this potential confounding factor in accurately determining information requirements?All of the methods of data collection discussed in this chapter take a lot of time. What are some ways analysts can still collect the information they need for systems analysis but also save time? What methods can you think of that would improve upon both traditional and newer techniques?Evaluation Criteria.Was the assignment properly formatted with proper spelling and grammar?Did the student demonstrate an understanding of the different techniques for gathering user requirements and their advantages/disadvantages?Did the student demonstrate critical thinking?Deliverables. Please name your files module4assignXXX.doc, (where XXX are your initials).The answer should be at least 3-4 paragraphs, double spaced.Type your answer in Word. Save your answer as a word document (naming it module4assignXXX.doc where XXX are your initials)

As more companies outsource systems development, will there be less need for in-house systems analysts?  Why or why not?

The case study retail store is concerned about the possibilities of losing data because of database system malfunctions or downtime. Security is also a major concern to the company because it is common knowledge that engaging in online business can be risky because of known vulnerabilities on the Internet. The company also realizes that its in-store database system is the top priority at this time. What solutions can you propose to effectively manage database transactions, maintain security, and recover the data that are lost from system failure or downtime? Examples are provided here to help with this assignment. The assumptions are as follows: A high volume of the orders often occurs during the daytime. One person will serve the role of database administrator. The database administrator account will serve as database owner. The transaction log must be backed up. Point-in-time recovery is required. There is an always-on availability group. The ability to purchase products online will be addressed in a future database project. The project deliverables are as follows: What solutions can you propose to effectively manage database transactions, maintain security, and recover the data that are lost from system failure or downtime? What is your rationale for the transaction management plan, database security procedure, backup plan, and recovery model that you proposed for the case study organization? Database Administration Plan (4–5 pages) Create a database administration plan that is specific to the needs of your retail store. Include a transaction management plan that includes a flowchart for how each transaction will be handled (including rollback and commit cases). Include a database security procedure that includes provisions for access control, user authentication, and availability. Include a backup plan and a recovery model Provide your analysis as to how this part of the project fulfills the mission and 1 or more goals of the case study organization. All sources should be cited both in-text and in References using APA format.

Write a 1–2 page executive summary that describes the synergy between software development cycles and data analytics, and why data analytics should be applied to a software development life cycle. In this assignment, you will describe a software that needs to be developed, a software development life cycle, and a rationale for the application of data analytics to software development. To complete this assignment, follow these steps: +.Select a type of software that needs to be developed. Select a software development life cycle to apply to develop the software. Provide a rationale and recommendation for the application of data analytics to the selected software development life cycle. Address these questions in your executive summary: What were the defining points for the application of data analytics to the software development? What were the reasons?  How does data analytics help a project manager visualize and interpret the software development life cycle successfully? Where will the use of data analytics take software development in the future?

The Health Information Data Exchange is an emerging topic within health care systems. Discuss the following: Explain what use the health information data exchange could provide for a health care organization. How could an organization use standardized data from other organizations? Explain why a major organization would be interested in integrating its systems with the exchange. Consider how the health information data exchange can lead to the availability of big data, and suggest 1 additional use of the data collected by a health care organization when integrating a health information data exchange. Note: Use APA style to cite at least 2 scholarly sources from the last 5 years.
