information system in the system. This information system would help the owner to handle the
system more efficiently.
With the new information system that is to be developed for Yachts Australia, the
business analyst who were involved in the system would carry out the business needs and
analyze the feasibility study that were possible for the new improved system.
In current system, the booking were done in printed sheets and calculations for the
payment were done manually in the system. But the new information system that is to be built
will be done automatically with the help of computer system. The automatic system will help to
streamline the process and keep a track on the booking details of the system.
The current system that is followed in Yachts Australia also does not have any record of
the customers who are associated with the business. As a result, no customers are given loyalty
discounts while bookings. This particular information system will store the information of all the
customers who only has only once signed up for the company.
The staffs of Yachts Australia will also get advantage from the information system that is
decided to be developed from the system. The details of all the staffs will be stored securely in
the system and the staffs handling the system will have personal ids and passwords for the
handling the system. The staffs will have security in handling the system.
The new information will also provide the opportunity to analyze the yachting area in
Queensland help the organization to work on the strategic planning as well as in its operational
planning in the system.
