Small units can now develop their own information systems using the Small Unit Enduser Rapid Application Development (SERAD) methodology. This approach empowers end-users with guidance from IT professionals to create dynamic applications efficiently.

Area of Science:

  • Information Systems Development
  • End-User Computing
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Small specialized units, particularly in government, face challenges developing information systems due to unique, dynamic requirements and limited resources.
  • Existing systems often do not adequately address the specific needs of small organizational units.
  • The proliferation of small units necessitates efficient and accessible information system development methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel methodology, Small Unit Enduser Rapid Application Development (SERAD), enabling end-users to develop their own applications.
  • To provide a structured approach for information technology professionals (ITPs) to guide end-users in application development.
  • To facilitate the rapid creation of dynamic, robust, and sound information systems for small units.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes a database management system (DBMS) to manage 'focal objects' with status flags.
  • Employs UserAction, DataEntry, ApplicationAction (UDA) cycles for data management and application interface.
  • Involves a sequence of systems analysis exercises tailored for end-users with ITP guidance.

Main Results:

  • The SERAD methodology allows for immediate data entry and the eventual creation of full applications.
  • End-users are trained in the application development process through system usage.
  • Minimizes the time and effort required from ITPs despite end-users' varying levels of IT expertise.

Conclusions:

  • SERAD offers an effective solution for small units to overcome information system development hurdles.
  • The methodology promotes end-user empowerment and IT professional efficiency.
  • Enables the rapid deployment of tailored, reliable information systems in diverse organizational contexts.
