Despite its current and future technological capabilities, the computer still owes its power and usefulness to people. Business people define the business problems to be solved by the computer. Computer programmers and technicians apply information technology to build information systems that solve those problems. Systems Analysis and Design is the study of a business problem domain to recommend improvements and specify the business requirements for the solution through the specification or construction of a technical, computer based solution.
