Chapter 9: The People in Information SystemsDavid T. BourgeoisLearning ObjectivesUpon successful completion of this chapter, you will be able to:• describe each of the different roles that people play in the design, development, and use ofinformation systems;• understand the different career paths available to those who work with information systems;• explain the importance of where the information-systems function is placed in an organization;and• describe the different types of users of information systems.IntroductionIn the opening chapters of this text, we focused on the technology behind information systems: hardware,software, data, and networking. In the last chapter, we discussed business processes and the key role theycan play in the success of a business. In this chapter, we will be discussing the last component of aninformation system: people.People are involved in information systems in just about every way you can think of: people imagineinformation systems, people develop information systems, people support information systems, and,perhaps most importantly, peopleuseinformation systems.The Creators of Information SystemsThe first group of people we are going to look at play a role in designing, developing, and buildinginformation systems. These people are generally very technical and have a background in programming andmathematics. Just about everyone who works in the creation of information systems has a minimum of abachelor’s degree in computer science or information systems, though that is not necessarily a requirement.We will be looking at the process of creating information systems in more detail in chapter 10.Systems AnalystThe role of the systems analyst is to straddle the divide between identifying business needs and imagining anew or redesigned computer-based system to fulfill those needs. This individual will work with a person,team, or department with business requirements and identify the specific details of a system that needs tobe built. Generally, this will require the analyst to have a good understanding of the business itself , the94saylor.orgSaylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/courses/bus206Attributed to: David T. Bourgeois, Ph.D.
