System analysis has been a battleground of ideologies over the past two decades. Unlike programming or hardware development, systems analysis sits between users and computer technology, and textbooks have reflected this ambivalent position. But a new age of information systems development is beginning. Users, not technologists, will drive systems development; applications, not computer uses, will motivate projects; end-user needs, not analysts' predispositions and computer marketing plans, will determine what gets built and how. This text provides students and readers with analytical skills essential in providing services to meet the complex, changing needs of the information systems customer.
