IT Systems in Organization: SDLC

Important points to recall;

• To be relevant and competitive, companies and organization will have to introduce IT systems in the operations and processes.
• IT systems can be introduced in any organization, institution, company, government agencies by either using an existing software/system developed or requesting one to be developed meeting that meets the unique individual requirements.
• We have clear procedures / guidelines that must be followed to ensure that the introduction of any IT system is successful places introduced.
• SDLC is one model that is followed to ensure the success of software / IT system introduction; 
• A System (or Software) Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is useful for managing a planned and controlled development effort. The biggest advantages are that it provides some level of control of the development process to ensure that the ultimate solution is consistent with the original requirements and to ensure that the design process and testing process leading to release of a solution is sound and well-managed.
