SYSTEM ANALYSIS

Definition

System Analysis is the detailed study of the various operations performed by the system and

their relationships within and outside the system. Analysis is the process of breaking something

into its parts so that the whole may be understood. System analysis is concerned with becoming

aware of the problem, identifying the relevant and most decisional variables, analyzing and

synthesizing the various factors and determining an optional or at least a satisfactory solution.

During this a problem is identified, alternate system solutions are studied and recommendations

are made about committing the resources used to the system.

Feasibility Study

In case the system proposal is acceptable to the management, the next phase is to

examine the feasibility of the system. The feasibility study is basically the test of the proposed

system in the light of its workability, meeting user’s requirements, effective use of resources and

of course, the cost effectiveness. These are categorized as technical, operational, economic and

schedule feasibility. The main goal of feasibility study is not to solve the problem but to achieve

the scope. In the process of feasibility study, the cost and benefits are estimated with greater

accuracy to find the Return on Investment (ROI). This also defines the resources needed to

complete the detailed investigation. The result is a feasibility report submitted to the

management. This may be accepted or accepted with modifications or rejected. The system cycle

proceeds only if the management accepts it.

Technical Feasibility

Technical feasibility includes whether the technology is available in the market for

development and its availability. The assessment of technical feasibility must be based on an

outline design of system requirements in terms of input, output, files, programs and procedures.

This can be qualified in terms of volumes of data, trends, frequency of updating, cycles of

activity etc, in order to give an introduction of technical system. Considering our project it is

technical feasible. Online Recruiting and Online Recruitment Systems, with its emphasis on a

more strategic decision making process is fast gaining ground as a popular outsourced function.

Economic Feasibility

Thus feasibility study should center along the following points:

1. Improvement resulting over the existing method in terms of accuracy, timeliness.

2. Cost comparison

3. Estimate on the life expectancy of the hardware.

4. Overall objective.

Our project is economically feasible. It does not require much cost to be involved in the

overall process. The overall objective is in easing out the recruitment processes.

Operational Feasibility

This analysis involves how it will work when it is installed and the assessment of

political and managerial environment in which it is implemented. People are inherently resistant

to change and computers have been known to facilitate change. The new proposed system is very

much useful to the users and therefore it will accept broad audience from around the world.
