Introduction
“UNICEF Childcare” is a corporate organisation for children’s supervision and care who are
between the age of six weeks to thirteen. It provides food, teachers, babysitter, nannies and
many other services for the children’s for which parents pay. The current manual process
carries various problems as parents have to make payment through bank transfer or
depositing money directly to the UNICEF account. After funds are fetched at the week-end
the accountant prepares receipts/ tax invoices for each parent to post or email them.
John Smith, chairperson of UNICEF aims for this project are:
• Online system to deposit fees
• Automatic generation of thanking email for users when payment is received.
• Provision to download consolidated statement.
• Automated products ordering

Task 1. Approach to Systems Development
Developing Information system for UCC
For developing an Information system for UCC firstly, there is need of considering the needs
of the organization. After this strategize the data storing and accessing capacity of the
organization so that right system can be chosen. The system needs to have data encryption so
that data can be accessed fastly and no one would be able to see data unless he has the
encryption key. Finally look for aspects of cost and efficiency to reach out to best alternative
(Sami, 2012).
To develop the better system we need to include all the stakeholders of UCC for their advice
and for this Joint application design could be the best approach.
Validation of preferred system development approach
The problems faced by UCC during manual pen and paper system can be replaced effectively
by JAD (Joint Application Design) approach because it will contain all the opinion,
requirements and stakeholders. JAD is a technique for developing requirements of the
business system by bringing users and system developers in a creative and productive
environment via structured approach to acquiring specifications and requirements. The
specifications which will prove JAD approach to be the best for the UCC are mentioned
below.
• JAD helps to encourage team members in pushing each other for working quickly to
get the delivery on time.
• It allows solving of difficulties more simply while producing error-free and better
software.
• It reduces time and cost required for the development of the project.
• The mutual collaboration among the clients and the company lower down all risks.
• Properly defined requirements enhance system quality (Mrsic, 2017).
