B. System Analysis
Client Registration Form
It is a process of collecting and interpreting facts,
identifying the problems, and decomposition of a system into
its components. System analysis is conducted for the purpose
of studying a system or its parts in order to identify its
objectives. It is a problem solving technique that improves System Id
the system and ensures that all the components of the system
work efficiently to accomplish their purpose.

C. System Design
It is a process of planning a new business system or
replacing an existing system by defining its components or System IP
modules to satisfy the specific requirements. Before
planning, you need to understand the old system thoroughly
and determine how computers can best be used in order to System User
