22 Phase Description  Systems Operation, Support, and Security is the final phase in the systems development life cycle (SDLC)  You will be supporting a functioning information system  You continuously will access and improve the system, and you will be alert to any signs of obsolescence  You will also address multi-level security issues

33 Chapter Objectives  Explain how the systems operation, support, and security phase relates to the overall system development process  Describe user support activities, including user training and help desks  Discuss the four main types of system maintenance

44 Chapter Objectives  Explain various techniques for managing systems operation and support  Describe techniques for measuring, managing, and planning system performance  Assess system security at five levels: physical security, network security, application security, file security, and user security

55 Chapter Objectives  Describe backup and disaster recovery policies and methods  List factors indicating that a system has reached the end of its useful life  Assess future challenges for IT professionals as technology reshapes the workplace

66 Introduction  Now that the system is operational, the IT staff members must assure that it meets user expectations, supports business objectives, and is secure  More than half of all IT department effort goes into supporting existing systems and making them more valuable to users

77 Overview of Systems Support and Maintenance  The systems operation, support, and security begins when a system becomes operational and continues until the system reaches the end of its useful life  After delivering the system, the analyst has two other important tasks: he or she must support users and provide necessary maintenance to keep the system operating properly

88 User Support Activities  User Training – Additionally, new employees must be trained on the company’s information systems – Training users about system changes is similar to initial training

99 User Support Activities  Help Desk – Often called an information center (IC) – Enhance productivity and improve utilization of a company’s information resources

10 User Support Activities  Help Desk – Might have to perform the following tasks: Show a user how to create a data query or report that displays specific business information Resolve network access or password problems Demonstrate an advanced feature of a system or a commercial package Help a user recover damaged data

11 User Support Activities  Online Chat Support – Interactive support also can be delivered in the form of an online chat – Blackboard provides a chat room called a Virtual Classroom, which is an online meeting-place where students can ask questions and interact with an instructor

12 Maintenance Activities  The systems operation, support and security phase is an important component of TCO (total cost of ownership) because ongoing maintenance expenses can determine the economic life of a system  Operational costs  Maintenance expenses  Maintenance activities

13 Maintenance Activities  Four types of maintenance task can be identified – Corrective maintenance – Adaptive maintenance – Perfective maintenance – Preventative maintenance

14 Maintenance Activities  Four types of maintenance task can be identified

15 Managing Systems Support  Maintenance Team – System administrator – Systems analysts Analysis Synthesis

16 Managing Systems Support  Maintenance Team – Programmers Applications programmer Systems programmer Database programmer Programmer/analyst

17 Managing Systems Support  Managing Maintenance Requests – Involves a number of steps Maintenance request Initial determination Role of the systems review committee Completion of the work User notification

18 Managing Systems Support  Establishing Priorities – In many companies, systems review committee separates maintenance requests from new systems development requests – Many IT managers believe that evaluating all projects together leads to the best possible decisions – Neither approach guarantees an ideal allocation between maintenance and new systems development

19 Managing Systems Support  Configuration Management – Configuration management (CM) – As enterprise-wide information systems grow more complex, configuration management becomes critical – Most maintenance projects require documentation changes

20 Managing Systems Support  Maintenance Releases – Maintenance release methodology – A numbering pattern distinguishes the different released – Reduces the documentation burden – But new features or upgrades are available less often – Service packs

21 Managing Systems Support  Version Control – Archived – Systems librarian – Companies can purchase software such as Serena

22 Managing Systems Support  Baseline – Systems analysts use baselines as yardsticks to document features and performance during the systems development process – Functional baseline – Allocated baseline – Product baseline

23 Managing System Performance  Performance and Workload Measurement – Metrics – Response time – Bandwidth and throughput Kbps (kilobits per second) Mbps (megabits per second) Gbps (gigabits per second)

24 Managing System Performance  Performance and Workload Measurement – Turnaround time The IT department often measures response time, bandwidth, throughput, and turnaround time to evaluate system performance both before and after changes to the system or business information requirements Management uses current performance and workload data as input for the capacity planning process

25 Managing System Performance  Capacity Planning – What-if analysis – You need detailed information about the number of transactions; the daily, weekly, or monthly transaction patterns; the number of queries; and the number, type, and size of all generated reports

26 Managing System Performance  System Maintenance Tools – Many CASE tools include system evaluation and maintenance features – In addition to CASE tools, you also can use spreadsheet and presentation software to calculate trends, perform what-if analyses, and create attractive charts and graphs to display the results

27 System Security  Physical Security – First level of security concerns the physical environment – Computer room – Computer room security Biometric scanning systems Motion sensor

28 System Security  Physical Security – Servers and desktop computers Keystroke logger Tamper-evident cases BIOS-level password Boot-level password Power-on password

29 System Security  Physical Security – Notebook computers Select an operating system that allows secure logons and BIOS-level passwords Mark or engrave the computer’s case Consider notebook models that have a built-in fingerprint reader Universal Security Slot (USS) Back up all vital data

30 System Security  Physical Security – Notebook computers Use tracking software While traveling, try to be alert to potential high-risk situations Establish stringent password protection policies

31 System Security  Network Security – Network – Network interface – Encrypted – Encrypting network traffic Unencrypted – plain text Public key encryption (PKE)

32 System Security  Network Security – Encrypting network traffic Public key Private key Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) WPA2

33 System Security  Network Security – Private networks Private network – Virtual private networks Virtual private network (VPN) Tunnel

34 System Security  Network Security – Ports and services Port Destination port Service Port scans Denial of service (DOS) Distributed denial of service (DDOS)

35 System Security  Network Security – Firewalls Firewalls can be configured to detect and respond to DOS attacks, port scans, and other suspicious activity

36 System Security  Application Security – Services Security hole Administrator – super-user Permissions – Input validation – Patches and updates Patches Third-party software Automatic update service

37 System Security  Application Security – Patches and updates Exploits Patches Third-party software Automatic update service  File Security – Permissions – User Groups

38 System Security  User Security – Privilege escalation attack – Identity management – Password protection – Social engineering Pretexting – User resistance

39 Backup and Disaster Recovery  Backup Options – Backup policy – Backup media Rotation schedule Offsiting

40 Backup and Disaster Recovery  Backup Options – Schedules Full backup Incremental backup – Retention periods

41 Backup and Disaster Recovery  Disaster Recovery Issues – Hot site – Data replication – Companies that require a hot site view it as a justifiable and necessary business expense, whether or not it ever is needed

42 System Obsolescence  Even with solid support, at some point every system becomes obsolete  Signs: 1.The system’s maintenance history indicates that adaptive and corrective maintenance is increasing steadily 2.Operational costs or execution times are increasing rapidly, and routine perfective maintenance does not reverse or slow the trend

43 System Obsolescence  Signs: 3.A software package is available that provides the same or additional services faster, better, and less expensively than the current system 4.New technology offers a way to perform the same or additional functions more efficiently 5.Maintenance changes or additions are difficult and expensive to perform

44 System Obsolescence  Signs: 6.Users request significant new features to support business requirements

45 Facing the Future: Challenges and Opportunities  Predictions – It is clear that companies will continue to face intense competition and global change, especially in the wake of economic, social, and political uncertainty – Although disruptions will occur, technology advances will spur business growth and productivity

46 Facing the Future: Challenges and Opportunities  Predictions – It is interesting to note that some observers, such as Bill Joy, wonder whether technology is moving so fast that humans will be left behind – What does seem clear is that the future world of IT must be envisioned, planned, and created by skilled professionals

47 Strategic Planning for IT Professionals  An IT professional should think of himself or herself as a business corporation that has certain assets, potential liabilities, and specific goals  Working backwards from your long-term goals, you can develop intermediate mile stones and begin to manage your career just as you would manage an IT project  Planning a career is not unlike planting a tree that takes several years to reach a certain height

48 IT Credentials and Certification  Credentials  Certification  Many other IT industry leaders offer certification, including Cisco, Novell, Oracle, and Sun Microsystems

49 Chapter Summary  Systems operation, security, and support covers the entire period from the implementation of an information system until the system no longer is used  A systems analyst’s primary involvement with an operational system is to manage and solve user support requests

50 Chapter Summary  Systems analysts need the same talents and abilities for maintenance work as they use when developing a new system  Configuration management is necessary to handle maintenance requests  System performance measurements include response time, bandwidth, throughput, and turnaround time  All information systems eventually become obsolete

51 Chapter Summary  An IT professional should have a strategic career plan that includes long-term goals and intermediate milestones  An important element of a personal strategic plan is the acquisition of IT credentials and certifications that document specific knowledge and skills  Chapter 11 complete
