SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Task 1: Organizational Background
The report is prepared for xyz.com which operates on the ecommerce business for selling
different products and service to the users. The organization currently uses an online retail
management software for recording some of the business information. The sales order are
managed manually and there is a need for the organization to automate the current business
process of the organization and reduce the effort of the employees working in the organization.
The challenges faced by the organization such as the competitors using more advanced
technology for attracting more number of customers and manage all the customer and the
product information from a single point. The organization current follows a traditional method
for the management of the business process and the employees use manual methodology which
can cause error and thus the manual system required to be removed for automation and
increasing the efficiency of the organization.
