Economic development of small-scale information systems

Abstract

In virtually any organization, (military or civilian, large or small), there are a number of unsolved small-scale information system problems. They will remain unsolved until we (system analysts and designers) develop a methodology that allows generation of timely and cost-effective automated solutions. The requisite resources exist; they have yet to be combined in the right order for success. It is the primary goal of this research to purpose, justify and demonstrate (through a detailed case study) a simple-to-employ methodology for quick and cost-effective development of small-scale information systems (SSIS) without professional analysts, designers or programmers. Keywords: End-user software development; Software development methodologies; Computer applications development without professionals.
