In most cases the new system will be computer-based. The ease with which computers can communicate and process data means that are usually the best tool for the job.

Designing the System Inputs

To get data into a system is a two-part process:

1. Data must first be ‘captured’ (collected in a way that then makes it easy to input)
2. Data must be input into the computer

The systems analyst will select a data capture method and data input method that best suit the requirements of the new system.
