Introduction:
The system analysis and design provides a customized approach toward implementing a
new system in the business environment. The data processes can be done based on the scale and
type of business (Dennis and Wixom 2018). System analysis proves a better insight about the
user requirements and what the organization needs in order to enhance competitiveness. The
system analysis and design can implement solutions to various issues to the business and boost
up the profit.
The purpose of the work is to understand current situation at Indyflix Movies and provide
a suitable system solution. The understanding of current operations are reflected in the report
through organization background description. Along with that current system data processing
and requirements are to be identified.
Most of the data is collected from various articles present in the Google Scholar academic
database. Many online videos has been searched for getting better idea of data modelling like
DFD and ERD.
Organizational Background:
Business Description: The Indyflix Movies is a quickly growing movie rental and sale
business. The organization first started with opening a physical store. The organization currently
have many stores. Each of the stores have its own software program for managing the sales and
rent of movies. The store supervisors are responsible for creating reports and sending summary
reports to Mark Goh. The business was started with the interest of fulfilling the market niche of
lack of small independent movies makers’ movies. The organization provides services like

pickup and delivery. Defunct mode model of media transaction business model is currently used
by Indyflix Movies.
Business Issues and Solutions: The Indyflix Movies is currently capable of creating
member transaction history, overdue list, movie rental reports, out of stock report, movie vendor
list, rent analysis report, sales analysis report and catalogue of movies. However, all the reports
are not consisted of enough data for management to make accurate and effective decisions. The
management does not get any report on the impact and efficiency of decisions they make.
Moreover, all the reports that are generated in the stores are sent to the Head office via email or
any other similar method. This makes Mark Goh dependent on the store staff.
Mark Goh does not have any system that can automatically compare all the reports and
provide a better insight of the business. Manually analyzing the reports of each store is taking a
lot of time of Mark Goh. Moreover, as the number of stores will increase, Mark Goh will require
a lot more time to analyze and compare the reports. Another issues present in the Indyflix
Movies is lack of communication. The current systems at each store does not have any link
between those. This making various issues at management level and operational level. One store
may have one particular movie in stock but other store does not have any information about it.
The current system is incapable of comparing the sales and rent data of each store. As the system
does not have any extension to the head office, the management cannot access the store systems
for generating reports and managing the store. Every decision made in the head office has to be
manually applied to the stores.
If the organization will be able to implement communication between the software in the
stores then reports will be more dynamic. The comparison of the store data can be effectively
and efficiently conducted. Mark Goh can make business decisions based on accurate and in

depth data. The opportunities are not only limited to reporting but also expands to customer
satisfaction. Once a customer registers in any system, all the stores will have that data.
Functional/Non-Functional Requirements: The functional and non-functional
requirements describes the whole system functionalities of a system.
The functional requirements are as following.
i. User Registration: The customer provide their name, work telephone number,
home telephone number, address, mobile number, drivers license number and
email address. The system also accept Medicare or passport in case the customer
does not have driver license. Each customer data is saved in the local system of
the store in which the software system is running.
ii. Loan and Sales Processing: The software system allows the registered customer
to borrow or purchasing movies from each store. The system accepts input about
the movie, purchase or rent data and return date in case of rent from the staff.
Then the system processes all the data and record in a particular way.
iii. Reporting: Reporting is a very crucial requirement for the Indyflix Movies. The
system stores the sales, customer, rent, available stock and many more details in a
data storage media. If the store manager requests for report then software system
fetches all the data and create a report.
The non-functional requirements are as following.
i. Security: It is an essential non-functional requirement because the system will
store the sensitive business data. If the system is not secured enough then hackers
can steal the business data and sell it to the competitors.

ii. Availability: The system must be up till the store is open. The upgrades and
analysis in the system can be done when the store is closed.
iii. Usability: As the staff of Indyflix Movies are not trained to use the software, the
system must be equipped with good user interface. The user interaction should be
of good quality.
iv. Audit: The head office sends administrators to audit the current system. This
allows the organization to identify security loop holes in the system.

Process Descriptions:
i. Register Customer: This process is done by the staff present in store to register a
customer in existing software
ii. Rent Movie: Each store can rent the movie to a customer. One record in the rent
table is entered.
iii. Sale Movie: The store sells a physical copy of the movie to the customer. One
record in the sales table is entered.
iv. Enter Movie: The store manager manually enters the details of the movie in
software system.
Conclusion:
From the above study, it can be concluded that new system is not capable of providing
modern day technological benefits Indyflix Movies must have. Along with the communication
upgrade, the organization need a new system that can allow head office to control and monitor
entire processes.
