Information Technology Skill ( ICT )

An Information System (IS) is hardware,software,data,people and procedures that worked together to produce quality information.The system development cycle is a set of activities used to build an information system.Most system development cycles contain five phases:planning,analysis,design,
implementation and operation,support and security.

System development should follow three general guidelines:

• Arrange activities into phases
• Involves the users,which includes anyone for whom a system is being built
• Develop standards, which are sets of rules and procedures a company expect employees to accept and follow.

A system analyst is responsible for designing and developing an information system.
