Module 1: Introduction to Enterprise architecture

System design is the process of designing the elements of a system such as


the architecture, modules and components, the different interfaces of those
components and the data that goes through that system.

System Analysis is the process that decomposes a system into its component
pieces for the purpose of defining how well those components interact to
accomplish the set requirements.

Types of System Design

Logical Design
Logical design pertains to an abstract representation of the data flow,
inputs, and outputs of the system. It describes the inputs (sources),
outputs (destinations), databases (data stores), procedures (data flows)
all in a format that meets the user requirements.

Physical Design
Physical design relates to the actual input and output processes of the
system. It focuses on how data is entered into a system, verified,
processed, and displayed as output.
