INTRODUCTION
Information technology is having influence on all sectors and it is making easier work
process of these sectors like; manufacturing, educational and health care etc(Paulauskas and

systems are helping in works, an organisation can manage business activities. Starting form the
desktop, it is having a large significance in offices, it is having a large capacity to make
algorithms calculations. It haves a several components like; monitor, mother board, hard disk etc.
which helps to improve their efficiency. Presently 1 TB and 2 TB hard disk are attached in
personal computers which gives a large storage space for users. A person can choose a computer
system on the basis of their uses. This report is having focus on SYNERGY which is a UK based
recruitment company is having need of computer systems to retain their work flow and make
easier process of their functions. Mr. Timothy Kelly is the director of this company and they
want to make a set up of computer in each department and these all have to be connected by
server. It is a need of the organization to expand their business activities by using a Microsoft
Server 2008(Fujii, Hitachi, 2010). Systematic design specification helps to develop systems
which is a need. By this organization can achieve their objectives and they can increase their
work efficiency.
TASK 1
1.1 Role of computer systems in different environments
Now a days life has become so competitive that every individual wants to be on top. Thus
being a competitive personality one also need to be innovative and smart worker. However smart
work generally means how creatively one do work in limited time, as time is money.
Charles Babbage who invented the first computer in 1800. Computer is an calculative device
which accept data in binary from and do arithmetic and logical operations. Computer has various
advantages like it save time by removing the maintenance of manual data and there is no issue

of tearing and stealing of documents(Ellis, 2012). This helps in maintaining data in one place and
also save the time.
Role of computer system in different environment are as follows :
Home : now a days every place has a computer because without computer life seems boring. It is
not necessary that only work place or organisation need to have computer installed but it is so
important that place where one live should also have personal computers(Portelli, 2010).
Example internet is life line for every student to have their assignment done.
Business: computers plays a very important role in every business. Since all work is being done
through computers, all the documents are maintained with the help of computers. In some
organisations there are huge clients and records of previous and current clients are maintained
through data base in computer system.
Example – ASDA store Ltd. is a British supermarket retailer which has various branches and
warehouse so it is very time consuming for the warehouse keeper to maintain register for every
entry and thus tablets help them in doing so smoothly. Each lead is generated in tablets and it
automatically provide you with the left stock in store.

country but also internationally. Now a days family can easily connect with their children who is
studying outside by doing free calls , video chat etc. mobile phones is very helpful for working
women to buy grocery and shopping online(Kaye, 2012).
Gaming- Instead of outdoor gaming children prefer indoor gaming such as games on phones
