The company Yachts Australia was handling its business with hand written records which
were handled manually. The business operations are handled manually and as the expansion of
the business is increasing, many issues was noted in the working system. The bookings for a
single boat that were made by the staffs were made twice and the records were also mistakenly
recorded in the manuals. With the increase in completion in this sector, there was a need to
improve the business system and the owner of Yachts Australia decided to implement

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.

Description: The above diagram shows the architectural diagram of the website that is to
be implemented for the Yacht Australia. The components that are included in the developing the
web application are mainly divided in to two groups. One is the user interface and the other is the
structure. The user interface that are included in the system are the page displaying, the
notifications that are to be given to the users, the user profile logs, and the configuration settings.
These user interface components does not deal with the structural development. The components
that are included in the structure are the internet browser or the client, the application server, as
well as the database server that is included in the system. The user or internet browser of the
application system mainly deals with the performance of the application to interact with the

4SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
client or the customer. The interaction channel that are associated with the application includes
functioning of JavaScript, CSS and HTML. The user and the browser is considered as the
interaction channel for clients. The server is considered as the control server so that they can
manage the layered application in the system.
The above depicts the architectural design of application that is to be developed for Yacht
Australia. There is an application server, that servers as an administration tool within the system.
There is a customer server, a recommendations server and the generator server. All these servers
are to be implemented in the system for developing the information system of Yacht Australia.

requirement of the user for gathering the overall experience as well as in the interface
convenience. The applications mainly exists within server helps in operating the system as well
as guarantee the connectivity of the network in the system.

Description: The above diagram shows the interface design diagram that is related with
the Yacht Australia. There are three activities that are carried out in the system. The boats are
searched from the database of the Yacht and after search the boats, the boast are selected and

the system. The services includes scheduling the yachts and updating the total number of boats
and berths that are available for the system. The berths are also confirmed for the selected the
berths available. The above diagram shows the details of the system interface system that are
involved in the system.
