System Modeling
System modeling is a fundamental technique in business analysis that plays a crucial role in understanding, designing, and optimizing complex business systems. It involves the creation of visual representations and diagrams to depict various aspects of a system, including its components, processes, data flows, and interactions.
System modeling is the most general and abstract type of modeling, which includes both process and data modeling, as well as system modeling at the hardware level (infrastructure planning: servers, storage devices, etc.)
| Aspect | Process Modeling | Data Modeling | System Modeling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | Visual representation of business processes, workflows, and activities. | Visual representation of data structures, relationships, and attributes. | Visual representation of system components, interactions, and architecture. |
| Main Focus | Focuses on illustrating how tasks and activities are carried out. | Focuses on modeling data elements, their properties, and relationships. | Focuses on designing the architecture and structure of a system. |
| Use Cases | Used to document and improve business processes, identify inefficiencies, and optimize workflows. | Used to design and organize data storage, capture data requirements, and ensure data integrity. | Used to plan and communicate system design, define components, interfaces, and interactions. |
| Stakeholder Interaction | Primarily involves business users, process owners, and analysts. | Involves database administrators, data architects, and analysts. | Engages both business and technical stakeholders, including developers and architects. |
| Objective | Improving business processes, increasing efficiency, and reducing errors. | Ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and availability. | Designing a system that meets business and technical requirements. |
