SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN 3
Introduction
Over the years Alvarado Street Bakery have been relying on a manual system to manage its
business operations. The main activities carried out by Alvarado include production of bagels and
organic whole grain breads which are all certified. The manual system has brought about numerous
challenges that has reduce the competitiveness of the business in the industry. Additionally, the
company faces numerous internal challenges including data duplication, data entry errors and
inconsistency, and increased operation cost. There is inconsistent flow of information within the
business and as such the process of making critical decisions is delayed affecting the overall business
productivity.
The customers are getting bored because of the long queues when they are being served and a
lot of time spent by the employees while processing their orders. For Alvarado to effectively solve
these problems, it is necessary to deploy an information system that will be able to automate the
processes and manage all the operation in order to increase productivity and revenue. Also, the
information system should provide the customers with a user-friendly interface to allow them to make
orders online. This paper seeks to discuss the system architecture of the proposed system, deployment
environment, user interface design concepts, security threats and their mitigation strategies, and
approach of implementing, testing, and deploying the information system.
System Architecture
The proposed system will be a web application; thus, it will rely on a web architecture which
facilitates communication between the various application components. The web application will have
two major structural components server side and client side (Yaskevich, 2017). The client side is the
platform that will allow the different users to interact with the system, that is, the user interface. It
should be user-friendly and easy to use and represent the functionalities of the web application the
that the users will associate with. This component will be developed using JavaScript, HTML, and

CSS3 which supports the different browsers independent of the operating system the user is using.
The server side is where the data is store and processes user requests. The server side is sometimes
referred to as the backend. The server side will be build using Ruby on Rails, PHP, Java, Node.js,
Python, or .NET development environment (Williams, 2018). The figure below shows a high-level
system architecture for the Alvarado Street Bakery:
