SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND REDESIGN PROJECT – PHASE 1 INSTRUCTIONS
The System Analysis and Redesign Project focus on a cloud-based solution for a company you
understand well. The purpose of this project is to ensure that you know how to analyze an organization
and its’ associated systems in order to determine which information systems components need to be
redesigned in order for the organization to operate more effectively. The project should highlight your
advanced skills in information systems, displaying your knowledge of all domains of our field.
The key objective of the project is to analyze and design an existing system that is outdated and a new
system that can function in cloud-based and/or a distributed computing architectural environments.
The re-design will be based upon at least one strong and well-respected information systems and/or
informatics framework and several associated standards. The framework and associated standards
(e.g. COBIT, NIST) will be used to benchmark the existing system to the new system and determine if
improvements were made.
Your project will be separated into 3 phases:
Phase 1: Introduction, problem statement, feasibility study, and project plan
Phase 2: Methodology to compare the old and new systems and the systems analysis
Phase 3: Results of comparison of the old and new systems and the systems design
Phase 1 Report Requirements
This report must contain the following elements:
I. See the grading rubric for all minimums.
II. Cover page
III. Table of Contents (TOC)
IV. Every section must be well supported with scholarly information systems journal articles.
V. Introduction and conclusion sections
a. You will write an introduction and conclusion to the project that is at least 500 words
and well supported by scholarly journal articles.
b. The conclusion should be the last heading and conclude the current phase and state the
upcoming objectives and deliverables in the next phase.
c. This should include a description of the client organization (including the organizational
unit or functions served by the system), motivation for the system (that is, why the
client organization wants the system, what problems it is encountering, what
opportunities would such a system provide), the users of the potential system, and the
general functionality the client wants in the system (the users and general functionality
form a statement of scope for the project and system).
d. Introduce the primary goals of this particular phase, the coinciding objectives, and the
outcomes
VI. Problem statement
a. You must select either a business you work with or an organization you know well and
have expertise on that allows you to re-design an information system using your
knowledge.

Identifying Information
Jenny is a 52-year-old married woman referred to your AMHS unit by her GP [Dr
Cook]. She is a practising Catholic and has worked as a teacher’s aide for 18 years at
various schools in the State School System. Jenny lives with her husband, Maurice, in
their own home. They have a 28yo daughter, Charlotte who is recently married.
Presenting Complaint
Jenny describes a 20 year history of recurrent depression with moderate – severe
episodes every 2-3 years. These are difficult to manage as they seem to have no clear
catalyst most of the time. Jenny states, “My husband is tired of me crying all the time,
and so am I. I have no energy and sleep all the time and I can’t see things ever getting
better”. Jenny has also started to become quite preoccupied with her throat, stomach
and bowels and states “they are not working properly”.
Details of the Present Problem
Jenny states that over the past 7 months, she has experienced gradually increasing
dysphoria, anhedonia, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, intense crying, social
isolation, and inadequate work performance. More recently [last 1 month] her
thinking has become fixated upon her throat, stomach and bowel function. She has
expressed the belief that they have stopped functioning and she is worried that their
contents are leaking into her abdominal cavity.
