Executive summary
A standout amongst the most intriguing, and most troublesome, of the undertakings that we may
embrace in our vocations as specialists or PC researchers is the plan of a whole framework. As
architects, there comes a realization that the most appropriate approach in tackling vast issues is
by the breakdown into much simpler cooperating arrangement of small issues. The individual
small issues again would be able to be deteriorated into even littler issues, until sufficiently after
cycles we have an issue that can be illuminated without anyone else. Every disintegration
provides the designer an overview of the arrangement of parts, and also an alternative towards
the selection of the individual parts and the way in which each of the parts fits to the other in
order to integrate the movement of framework outline. All sensible programming is a framework
that has an outline on this portrayal. The product will be sorted out around strategies or
methodology or capacities or whatever reflection.

1.1 Introduction
2.1 System Brief
2.1.1 Use case Diagram
This provides a brief summary of the details of the system and the users and how the two are
interacting together. This requires a set of some more specialized connectors and the symbols.
Use case diagram represents a scenario in which the system application is interacting with people
and the whole organization at large. The scope and the goals are also well explained here ( Seidl,
Scholz, Huemer and Kappel, 2015).

2.2 Information Source
Characterizing necessities to set up details of the information system is the initial phase in the
advancement of an embedded framework. Be that as it may, as a rule, insufficient consideration
is taken in building up adjust prerequisites in advance. This causes issues when ambiguities in
prerequisites surface later in the existence cycle, and additional time and cash is spent in settling
these ambiguities. Subsequently, it is vital that prerequisites are set up efficiently to guarantee
their exactness and culmination, yet this isn't generally a simple errand. This trouble in building
up great prerequisites frequently makes it a greater amount of a workmanship than a science. The
advancement of tried and true inserted frameworks requires considerably more confused
prerequisites since the embedded framework communicates together with outside world and the
product itself. Through this, setting up of the great prerequisites is of much importance when it
comes to the installation of the considerate noteworthy frameworks (Gezelius, 2017).
2.3 Benefits of mobile application
The use of a mobile phone in an organization comes along with a lot of benefits to the realization
of the business objectives and the stated goals. The fact that the usage comes with advantages, a
sample of interest is the portability and the wireless connectivity factors. These allows all the
users to communicate at all instance, this is facilitated by the intense competition among the
mobile phones manufacturers.
The business is also benefiting from the use of a mobile application through then awareness in
that the logo used in the mobile application create an awareness to the users and this promotes
the brand of the business hence promoting it (Cornelia and Repanovici, 2017). Apart from this,
the mobile application will be allowing the customers feedback hence facilitating the customer
support feature. The fact that the application is cost effective, all the businesses will be able to
meet the requirements within the budget limit. The mobile phones have come along with many
features which have affected the native websites. The design of an application has promoted the
companies in that there is faster access at any given place without the need of installing huge
hardware devices. Again the mobile application has promoted the companies by providing the
faster time for loading of the page apart from the optimized user interfaces which adds the
functionalities of the mobile applications. Generally, an increased number of people are seen

using the mobile phones to access important information compared to the access using the
websites.
The company may also choose to use the mobile application from the fact that it is very
compatible. This paper brings out the issue of compatibility in which the application can be well
utilized by a huge number of people and over a wide range. Once an application is fully
developed, it covers all its requirements without the need of regular updates.
Another factor in which the mobile applications have benefited the company is the fact that they
can be easily shared among the peers. This sharing will create a platform where the company
name reaches more and more people. A business advert in this manner could be made possible
just by a click on a link that could be shared either through the simple text message or even an
email.
2.3.1 Perception
The perception of the business professionals on the use of the mobile phones application in the
work place is of importance when it comes to the design of the system design. To clearly have an
understanding of this, a research survey needs to be conducted. There was a need to conduct an
online survey in the social media groups to reach all the business people and again during the
business meetings. The main target of the survey was the owners of the mobile smartphones.
Since it was a direct survey majority of the respondents were able to tell that the applications will
be of importance since their phones will be providing all the services at once and this appeared to
be simple. Similar research done on the customer satisfaction on the use of the phones in that it
solves the problem of emergencies especially when the personnel is held up. Majority of the
people considered use of phones as effective.
Mobile phones are facilitated by the service providers according to Quash and Sahu (2009).
Given that the phones are reliable in terms of the network, this provided a platform in which the
development of the mobile application could be easily considered better than the website.
2.3.2 Behaviors
Abstract standards assume that people take after the conduct of individuals that are imperative to
them, regardless of whether the individual does not feel that the results of following that conduct
are especially ideal. Because of social weights to embrace the new innovation, a person's view of

handiness coordinated to that innovation would fortify (Khan, 2015). Willfulness is characterized
as the level of which an individual trust they have the opportunity to receive another innovation,
in other words; is the reception of this new innovation obligatory or non-compulsory. The level
of intentionality of receiving another innovation will impact abstract standards, however have no
immediate effect on PU. At long last, picture alludes to how helpful an innovation is in lifting a
person's social position inside the gathering, if another innovation can enormously enhance a
person's social standing then the PU of the innovation will increment.
2.4 Work Breakdown Structure
This defines the user requirements for the accomplishment of a project. The project tools are
organized together in a series of multiple levels which are displayed in a graphical manner,
(Harrison, Frederick, and Dennis, 2017).
Figure 2: Work Break Down Structure
From the above work break down structure, the system development of the android application
has been considered in different stages, the initial stage of planning of the design of the system
followed by the gatherings of the requirements. All the systems documents are brought together
into one platform where the system designer can easily reach. After the collection of the
requirements files, the designer goes ahead to design the user interface. The interface should be
easily understood by the user hence attracting for more usage. Once the designer has a layout of
the application both in mind and in a written document, the process of coding begins. At this
4 | P a g e

System Design
stage, the designer will be dealing with the application code in java language and connecting to
the database for data storage (Bartel et al., 2015).
Once the overall coding has been accomplished, the mobile application is now subjected to the
testing and lastly final deployment. At the testing stage, the application is carried through a series
of test including the unit test, integration test, acceptance test and the system test. In the unit test,
a system is tested as a small module and is ensured that it fits its overall functionality. Each of
the modules are tested individually till and approved if they meet the required objective. Once
this is done, an integration test is done on the combined units. This is to ensure that the units are
working in an associative manner with other units (Buede and Miller, 2016). Through the
integration test, a user will be able to understand the failures that could be arising in case the
whole units are brought up together as an overall system.
The overall system is now tested to acquire the actual functionality. This ensures that the stated
objectives are set to meet the solution to the problem in question. Finally, user acceptance test is
carried out to ascertain the desired qualities.
3.0 Conclusion
In this study, perceptions of business professionals towards use of mobile phone in the
workplace as well as at the business meeting settings were analyzed. Findings of the study
indicate the fact that, mobile phone usage at work is positively welcomed in general by most of
the professionals. Professionals especially appreciate “the flexibility” and “the ability of doing a
better job” through accessing corporate emails and other business apps outside official working
hours and they strongly believe that “mobile phone usage at work is necessary”. However, they
slightly believe that their colleagues inappropriately use mobile phone at workplace. The use of
mobile phone in formal meetings is questioned as well. To some extent, it is acceptable for
professionals to bring phone to the meeting, excusing oneself to take a call and checking time.
However, checking a social media account, taking a call without excuse and browsing Internet
due to boredom are regarded as inappropriate in formal business meetings.
