Systems Design: Mobile Application Development for Scene Brokers

This case study delves into the systems design process for Scene Brokers, focusing on the development of a mobile application alongside their existing website. It explores various information gathering methods, including interviews, questionnaires, and document evaluation, to determine user requirements. The report includes a UML use case diagram and list to visualize system interactions and functionalities such as registration, payment, and venue management. It highlights the benefits of a mobile application, such as increased speed, personalized content, offline access, and push notifications. Furthermore, a work breakdown structure (WBS) is presented to illustrate project tasks and responsibilities. The study concludes by recommending the development of applications for both Android and iOS platforms to maximize user reach and emphasizes the importance of robust security measures for mobile apps. Desklib provides access to similar solved assignments and resources for students.

Introduction:
The mobile applications are taking the whole digital word with storm. The easy
to access feature, portability and internet access through Wi-Fi and mobile network
made a mobile phone more effective than computers in accessing the net. The
applications in mobile phones are faster and often save required data in mobile
storage to provide services when mobile offline.
The Scene Brokers are intended in implementing a mobile application
alongside with website. This report suggest information gathering methods, supports
organization decision through scholarly articles and provide WBS.
1. System Information Gathering and Diagrams:
1.1 Information Collection Procedures:
Interview: It is one of the most used and versatile information gathering
procedure. The project team will have a system analyst for doing the tasks of
collecting requirements from the users. The analyst will select few persons,
preferably at least a single person from each type of end users. The analyst will send
invitation for interview to all those selected person. The participant will attend a one-
to-one interview with the analyst. The analyst will pre-create a set of questions for
the participant and ask them at time of interview. The interview questions will not be
restricted to the prepared queries. Moreover, the analyst will be asking various other
questions based on the answers and what information is required. The interview
session will be more like a discussion on what is required and what can be provided.
Questionnaire: The questionnaire method is one of the most efficient
methods for collecting a chunk of data in a very small time. The analyst will create

4INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS DESIGN
set of questions for every type of users. These questions will be shared among the
staff and customers of Scene Brokers. The questionnaire can be shared through
Google forms, spread sheets, papers and many more ways. The participants will be
providing answers through the same way and submit their response.
Evaluation of Documents: The Scene Brokers will assign an internal staff for
assisting the analyst to look for organizational documents. The analyst will observe
the documents that holds the information of how the business process data and
generate information. After analysing the information, the can identify how the paper
based manual works can be converted into virtual automation. The assistance will
help the analyst whenever organization data will be difficult to understand for the
analyst.

Description: The use case is considered as the system must have information about the
end users. The outcome of the use case will be that system will have user
name, type, login credentials and allocate them in a authorization level
Trigger: A new customer wants to buy service from Scene Brokers
Preconditions: The customer must not be registered before or the customer does not have
bad history with Scene Brokers
Postconditions: The customer can have login credentials that can be used to login to the

7INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS DESIGN
system
Normal Flow: 1. The business customer fill the data and pay annual charges
2. The system sends username, password and receipt for payment through
mail
3. The individual customers only fills the forms and submit that form
4. The system sends a welcome mail by summarizing registration details
Alternative Flows:
[Alternative Flow 1 – Not
in Network]
The customer contacts with the administrator
The administrator register them the same way
Exceptions: A business may being stopped from registration due to previous
inconvenience.
The system will send the registration details to the admin and management
of Scene Brokers. After their approval, the customer can register.
Includes: 1. Get register confirmation mail
2. Pay Fee
3. Welcome Mail
Frequency of Use: The customers will use this process for the first time they want to connect
with the application.
Special Requirements: The system must define the authorization level of the user to improve
security
Assumptions: The customers will provide all the details
The system will be able to identify all the false requests
Notes and Issues: The system availability in between registration process is must. The system
will store that mail is sent but due to server down it will not be sent.

2. Benefits of Offering Mobile Application with Website:
Mobile application will be fast: The mobile applications will be at least 1.5
time faster than websites (Kim, Wang and Malthouse 2015). As the major app
structure will be downloaded into the mobile storage media, the applications only
download database information. The data retrieve becomes very fast due this fact.
Personalized Contents: The end users of Scene Brokers will receive
extremely tailored contents based on their preferences (Buller et al. 2014). It will be
like providing the customers a tailored communication through the language they
understand. The user centric preferences will enhance the customer satisfaction.
Instant Offline and Online Access: The mobile apps can store the vital data
into the mobile storage media. The often accessed data are stored in the device so
that least possible time can be used for showing crucial data (Ahmed et al. 2014).
This makes the apps a crucial for business as the customers can see crucial data
while they are offline.
Utilizing Device Features: The application of Scene Brokers can utilize the
features that the user device can offer. The application can use the camera, scanner,
NCF and more (Wunder et al. 2014). The application can use the other apps like
payment apps for payments.
Push Notifications and Instant Updates: The push notifications are highly
useful for Scene Brokers as the organization can communicate with the customer
through the app even if the app is not open. The app can promote venues or other
policies through the push notifications (Hu et al. 2015). The apps will be updated
easily using the device app store. This will allow the customer to get the best
experience from the application.

3. Work Breakdown Structure:

The usage of WBS: The work breakdown structure forces the project
manager to create detailed steps of the project. This way the details steps will reveal
more about the responsibilities of the project team members. The project manager
can create better budget and schedule plans for the project. The project team will
also be using the WBS for defining the scope of the project. They can measure,
whether all the, scope of the project is achieved, using the WBS.
Conclusion and Recommendations:
From the above study it can be concluded that the mobile application will be a
great choice for Scene Brokers for maintaining better relationship with the customer.
The customer will be accessing the application more often than website. The
organization can plan promotion in a more effective way now.
The Scene Brokers will be suggested to make application for both android
and iOS so that all the users can get same priority. The application will have more
security measures than website as mobile apps are more vulnerable.
