Introduction
Most of the health care systems do not use Information Technology for doing its
functions. The health care system are far away than other sector in terms of using the information
technology. All the health care systems mainly follows the same drawback. To proceed with
their working as well as functions, the health care systems mostly depends on the paper work for
keeping the records. But with the increase of information technology to its peak, as well as
changing of human lives to a digitized one, many health records are changing their systems to
information technology for making the system automated. The health care system are also
evolving with the use of information technology as their tool to work daily. The cloud
infrastructure is added as a service of information technology in the system of “My Health
Record” for serving the customer more efficiently, faster as well as makes the system automated.
The cloud service implements many service models that includes Software as a Service, Platform
as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service. There are three ways by which these models can be
used that is as hybrid clouds, public clouds, community clouds and private clouds.
Three Best Vendor of Cloud
For implementing the cloud solution in the system of “My Health Record”, three
providers of cloud is suggested so that their system can be automated and users finds the system
easy to use. The three cloud vendors that are suggested are Microsoft, Salesforce.com, and
Amazon Web Service.
1. Microsoft-
The Microsoft is one of the most famous technological company around the globe. This
company is said to provide the best cloud service provider from all other cloud provider

2SYSTEM ANALYSIS
companies. Along with cloud infrastructure, many other services are provided by Microsoft that
includes machine learning, Blockchain technology, as well as Artificial Intelligence. The
company of Microsoft provides my health record with a robust system that the user feels easy to
use. This system basically divides the service sector in three tiers. The tiers that the Microsoft
makes is Personal Computing, Business Processing, as well as Intelligent Cloud. The Microsoft
provides service to all sectors of industries that needs to implement cloud service such as
computer system companies or laptop companies. All the application in the industries is shifting
to a system which is basically web based, and the service is provided by the Microsoft. The
service are provided by the Microsoft includes Office Communication Server, Sharepoint
Exchange and many more.
Features: The feature that Microsoft provides is development of the application as well
as deployment of tools provided to the customer. Most prominent feature that the company
provides is to make the system robust and looks into the factor that the system performs more
efficiently. The service that is provided by Microsoft is that the system provided with services
like operating system, programming languages and framework, different tools, and operating
system. Another feature that the Microsoft provides is a central business model along with a free
trails period of 30 days and if after 30 days the customer likes the service, they can do a further
subscription.
2. Salesforce.com
The second famous among all the cloud service provided is the Salesforce.com. The
Salesforce.com can provide another best solution for “My Health Record”. The Salesforce.com,
an American company that provides service for cloud to all customers as well as companies who

take help from the Salesforce gets a mixer of service of cloud to a level that the customer is able
to maintain a stable relationship with other organization. There are many other responsibilities
that the Salesforce provides is spanning the sales, marketing, and commerce, communities,
marketing, Internet of Things, analytics and many other things. A very compact service is being
provided by the Salesforce. In recent times, the Salesforce has combined itself with technologies
of Google so that its service is enhanced.
The Salesforce is also a famous company that provides the service of cloud. There are
many competitive moves that is provided by the Salesforce that makes it unique from other cloud
service provider in the information technology sector. The company provides the best service for
the customers who switches their cloud technology from other to Salesforce. The customers are
provide with 50 percent less subscription fees for the customers and also provides SAP service
for the company. An Enterprise Resource Planning is also provided by the Salesforce with help
of CRM tools. In this way, the organization provides new service in the sector of information
technology.
Features: The Salesforce provide unique feature in the information technology sector.
The organization provides the sector with application of mobile, marketing, CRM, and many
more. There are other services as well that are provided by Salesforce. The Salesforce helps all
organization to store the contact of their customer so that they can be contacted at the time of
emergency. Another feature that the cloud provides is that the customer can access the
information on cloud from anywhere they like to irrespective of the places.
3. Amazon Web Service

4SYSTEM ANALYSIS
The Amazon Web Service, commonly known as AWS is also a famous cloud provider
that gives the service of cloud to may organization. This is the cheapest service among all the
organization. Amazon provides service to small companies as well as to big companies. The
Amazon was the first who started to distribute the cloud service among different companies. The
information is stored by AWS cloud for all the companies. A great competitive advantage is
being provided by the Amazon service to all its customers. The service modeling that is provided
by the AWS is a web based modelling related to computing in the companies. The database that
the Amazon stores is very reliable database. The database that is provided by Amazon is
CloudFront for delivering the service in the organization.
Feature: The feature that the Amazon Web Service is that the system of Amazon is much
secured and is provides the safest platform of service among all the service. Another feature that
makes Amazon famous is that the service pf Amazon is protected from any kind of data breach
or any vulnerabilities of data. Some other features are also provided by Amazon that includes
service for database, service for networking, and service for computing power. The Amazon
provides service that is flexible and is the most efficient service among all the service. The
service of Amazon is very appropriate for using in the system of my health record.
Review for Cloud
There are different cloud provider that are provided to all the organizations. The service
of cloud provided to the companies are very much advantageous for the all the organization. The
advantage that cloud provides are described below.
1. The cloud system is very efficient and cost less. The system of organization is not at all
costly and all organizations that are big as well as organization that are small can avail the

5SYSTEM ANALYSIS
service of cloud. The systems are extremely low cost and maintaining those system is also cost
less. The software that are needed for running the cloud are also less and the software are
previously implemented in the system.
2. All the device that can be connected with the internet can be used for accessing the
cloud technology. The system of cloud is very effective as it stores all the information that are
related with the organization. The devices that can be used for cloud accessing are laptops, IPads,
laptops, computer systems, as well as tablets.
3. No such high technologies or software is needed for implementing the system of cloud.
This system of cloud is extremely beneficial and can serve all the service included in Information
Technology. The organizations using cloud also will not have to get the license of cloud for
using them.
5. The cloud helps to store the data securely. The data are safe from being breached.
No such systems are available that are flawless. Considering all the advantages of the
cloud, the cloud service also provides with some disadvantages. The issues of the cloud are
stated below.
1. All the devices that are to be needed for accessing the cloud should be connected with
internet because the user cannot access the documents without the internet connection on their
device.
2. The internet service that the cloud use should be of high frequency. The cloud cannot
be accessed with low frequency bandwidth. When the user uses other application with the
internet, then the user cannot utilize the cloud system.

6SYSTEM ANALYSIS
3. With other applications running simultaneously, the cloud service can be slowed down
or can even shut down if there is no proper internet connection.
4. The cloud obviously provides security for data. But, maintaining the security is a
difficult task for the providers who provides cloud for the organization. The company always
have to stay updated with all form of insecurity in the organization.
Approach System Development Life Cycle
Advantages / Disadvantages of Predictive SDLC
The advantage that the predictive approach of SDLC model provides is that the system
can be described easily. The method of the application can be usually described very easily and
the requirements are clearly understandable. Project requirements should be steady for this
method. In this system model technical risks are lower (Gangwar, Date & Ramaswamy, 2015).
This model also provides some disadvantages too. Since this model does not provide backward
process, through plans should be made prior to starting the entire system itself. Once the process
is done there are no turning back.
Advantages/ Disadvantages of Adaptive SDLC
The advantages of the adaptive approach of SDLC is it provides the user with time
flexibility (Toosi, Calheiros & Buyya, 2014). Which means the user can add or change additional
functions to the system even after starting the project. The requirements of the project can also
be changed the same way. Implementation is the main focused area in this method. The adaptive
SDLC also have some disadvantages as well (Tung, Richter & Savjani, 2015). This method
contained some technical risk factors. It is a complicated process. Since the requirements can
change afterwards, the budget can also vary.

7SYSTEM ANALYSIS
With keeping all this advantages and disadvantages in mind the recommended approach
for “My Health Record” is the method of Adaptive SDLC. Because in this way the system can be
changed and optimized according to the requirements of the customer.
