Aksin, O & Masini, A 2008, ‘An Empirical Investigation’, Journal of Operation Management, Vol. 26, Issue 2, pg. 239

In the global business competition between organizations is increases day by day and due to this growing pressure each firm shared their services with the outside firm. The service provider generates the application for the customer through which an organization can save a large capital which can be spend on the future development of the organization and generating more revenues. Outsourcing increase the flexibility and security of the business organization and easily get the new changes which are introduces in the market. Print and mail outsourcing is also initiated with the cost reduction strategies. In the market another option is house development in which all the business strategies are developed within in the organization.

Rob, M 2004, Issues of Structured VS. Object Oriented Methodology of System Analysis and Design, Issues in Information Systems, 1, 275-280.

 The author at the University of Houston-Clear Lake said in his report that the most common approach to SDLC is a structured methodology that is based on waterfall model. 

 It adopts a formal step by step approach to the SDLC phases and activities, one phase must be finished before the next phase starts. He also claimed that another approach to SDLC is object oriented methodology. This approach follows an iterative and incremental approach to system development, it has four phases, but in each phase the developers move through all the four phases. So the object oriented method is based on fountain model.

 Boggs, R 2005, Teaching Object Oriented System Analysis and Design, A Course Model. Issues in Information Systems, 1, 43-49.

 The author at the Florida Gulf Coast University stated in his research that unlike the structured method for system design and analysis, the object oriented method is not so linear and highly structured, it can be a little bit fuzzy and most important thing is that it is a bottom up process.

 In this source it describes the complete overview and the meaning of outsourcing, and also it explains the difference between outsourcing and in-house system development, so this source is more helpful to write my second assignment.

Processes number: three

Purpose: the purpose of this main process is grading the student’s names and their marks regarding the list.

To develop a out soursing system too many terms are involved like fact finding techniques. First the old system must be checked every day with the help of the documents review and what are the current system problems and how to over come. The observation technique is also one method to describe to design a new system by observing the old system personally and make sure that alla documents are correct. To over come all the problems system analyst must have questionaries and surveys about the old project and what is we needed for new one. Sampling technique is involved many ters like records , reports, operational blogs data entry. system analyst can find the problems solving throw internet by serching and even throw personal observation.

What is involved when developing systems in-house?

From the documnet review there is no use of involving all the above cases for the house. The serching method can tell some thing about the new system whether it is performed here r not

what text books and articles involved in finding and discussion about the topic?
