Introduction
An information system is a system used by people and organisations in order to collect,
process, store information and disseminate data to support in coordination, analysis,
visualisation, decision making and control in any organisation(Peet, 2020). The information
system contains four components to be covered that are people, structure, task and technology.
Information system as name signifies contains lot of information which can be used for various
purpose. In today's world of competition data become a key factor to achieve success and
information system helps in many ways to collect a large data to be analysed. Big data analysis is
a procedure to pull out meaningful modality such as market trends, preferences of customers,
hidden pattern, etc. which is used for decision making by management in an organisation. Big
data analysis helps a lot to an organisation in order to achieve success. This report helps to
understand the manner in which data collected from information system helps decisions of
management in a organisation and also explains the methods, techniques and theories which is
related to the development and design of various IT solutions.
Task 1
Theories, methods and techniques which relate to the design and development for IT solutions
Moodle and MS Office
MS office
Microsoft office refers to the suite of products that are Microsoft word, excel, power point, one
note and outlook. It helps an organisation to manage data in accessible form and store it for
longer period of time to be accessed in future(Ingraham and Clair, 2020). There are various
theories, methods and techniques used by MS office related to design and development of the
products. All these are given below:
Theories related to design and development of MS office
There are various theories in order to design MS office. The management of Microsoft take
support to focus on experience of their users which differentiate them from others and create a
plan for products and services of Microsoft. Microsoft integrates designers with product
development teams which encourage an environment of efficient cooperative workings. They
believe in establishing a central excellence groups like user experience group to collect and
distribute best practices.

Methods related to design and development of MS office
Microsoft evolved various methods as the organisation realise that it needs a more customer
centred approach to develop a product(Wehrs, 2020). An important element for this is that they
bought greater complexity which affect them adversely in the way the users respond to it. This
user- centric product development includes a method of five steps which are Understand,
envision, specify, implement and maintain.
Techniques related to design and development of MS office
There are various techniques available in order to facilitate the design and development of the
MS Office so as to provide better service experience to the users. Easy and simplified document
sharing is one of the techniques that can enhance the efficiency of the operation carried out on
the MS Office. Smart attachments is a technique that can simply the editing process of the
individuals instead of downloading the manual documents in the computer. The enhancement in
the history of the version can also be termed as development in the operations executed by the
MS Office.
Moodle
Moodle is a learning program designed to give teachers, heads and students an individual secure,
robust and united system to design personalised learning surroundings. One can download the
software in their own web server and operate it(Elekes and Szárnyas, 2020). Various theories,
methods and techniques related to design and development of Moodle is given below:
Theories related to design and development of Moodle
The theory of Moodle is developed by Martin Dougiamas. This is learning web server that
support the educators to make online courses. This theory of Moodle is introduced because the
developer wants to help the educators, teachers and head to enhance themselves, This theory
helps and used for blended acquisition, distance training, impudent schoolroom and some other
e- learnings in school, colleges and at many workshops. This theory of Moodle make private
websites with online teaching for pedagogue and leader to accomplish the aims and objectives of
learning. The Moodle theory is based on Competency Motivation. This theory of Competency
Motivation is very effective and powerful in comparing to the conventional method of training.
Methods related to design and development of Moodle
There are various methods used by Moodle in order to design and develop it. It uses a method to
design an web server which supports both the aspects learning as well as teaching and used by all
