ISYS1000 IBIS
Assessment 1: Business Technology Analysis
Information Systems Description (ISDF) Template
1. General Description of the Information System
1.1 Title
Name of the organisation and Information System
1.2 Description of Chosen Business or Organisation
Describe your chosen business or organisation. Identify at least two business processes and briefly describe them. Then chose one business process and information systems that you will be describing.
1.3 General Description
Write a paragraph or two describing the overall function or purpose of the information system. Do not describe the internal details of the information system.
1.4 Users and Uses
Note: a “user” can be a person or another information system (IS)
[name of] User 1
name and describe the user type (it could be another IS). For example, if the system you’ve built is for students to register at university, the “User 1” is “Student”, and you describe here something like “Students use the system (name of your system) to register at the university so that they can enrol into courses offered by the university”
a. Use 1: name and describe what the User 1 does with the information system or what the information system does for the User 1.
use this “indented” format
b. Use 2: name and describe …
c. Use 3: name and describe … (if applicable)
[name of] User 2
Name and describe …
a. Use 1: name and describe ...
b. ...
2. External Description of the Information System
This section discusses the details of the inputs and outputs of the information system, the information processing performed by the information system, the information stored within the information system, and the system boundary. It should not focus on any information and communication technologies but the information processing itself. It should be much more detailed than the general description.
2.1 Inputs
[name of] User 1
Name of User 1 (or other IS). Name of Input Group (e.g. a paper or Web form. name, a group of inputs)
a. Name of Input 1 - description of input 1, example of input 1
b. Name of Input 2 - description of input 2, example of input 2
…
[name of] User 2
Name of User 2 (or other IS). Name of Input Group (e.g. a paper or Web form. name, a group of inputs)
a. Name of Input 1 - description of input 1, example of input 1
b. Name of Input 2 - description of input 2, example of input 2
…
2.2 Outputs
[name of] User 1
Name of User 1 (or other IS). Name of Output Group (e.g. a paper or Web report name, a group of outputs
a. Name of Output 1 - description of output 1, example of output 1
b. Name of Output 2 - description of output 2, example of output 2
c. etc. ...
[name of] User 2
Name of User 1 (or other IS). Name of Output Group (e.g. a paper or Web report name, a group of outputs

c. etc. ...
2.3 System Boundary
Describe the boundary of the information system to be clear about what parts are inside your information system and what parts are outside.
External Components
External (Outside) Components...
Internal Components
Internal (Inside) Components...

4. Internal Description of Information System
This section provides a description of the internals of the information system including the particular information processors, information stores, and any networks within the information system. It now focuses on the information and communication technologies used to implement the information processing, storage and communication needed for the information system described in the general description and external view.

[name of] Information Processor 1
Name of Information Processor 1 - Describe what type of information processor it is
a. Describe the/an information processing performed by information processor 1.
[name of] Information Processor
Name of Information Processor 2 - Describe what type of information processor it is
a. Describe the/an information processing performed by information processor 1.
b. etc. ... (if applicable)
4.2 Information Stores
[name of] Information Store 1
Name of Information Store 1 - Describe what type of information store it is
a. Name of Information 1 - describe information 1 and give an example.
b. Name of Information 2 - describe information 2 and give an example (if applicable)
c. ...
[name of] Information Store 2
Name of Information Store 2 - Describe what type of information store it is
a. Name of Information 1 - describe information 1 and give an example.
b. Name of Information 2 - describe information 2 and give an example (if applicable)
c. ...
4.3 Communication Networks
Internal Communication Networks
Internal Communication Networks (between internal Information Processors)

[name of] Internal Communication Network 3
(if needed) ....
5. Internal View of Information System
Click on the drawing below to edit the drawing and include the internal details relevant to your information system (as described above in the internal description). Make sure your internal view of the information system is consistent with your textual description from part 4.

6. Further Notes (Optional)
Please include any further notes or information you think relevant to your information system description here. This is an optional section.
7. References
Please include any references to documents or Web sites you referred to in defining your information system or completing the description.
Please ensure your submission is in compliance with University Generative AI policy.
Please use regular University referencing (in text and here) in Chicago 17th B (Author-Date) format.
This section is NOT optional if you include text or copy diagrams from other resources (including Web pages), you must reference these. References add weight to you work because you are using already established/published material as a foundation for your thinking
Failure to acknowledge use of other resources may constitute plagiarism and lead to a significant penalty (see Unit Outline).
