AF1.1 Identify the needs of users of information systems
AF1.2 Identify and recommend improvements to information systems
AF1.3 Implement improvements to information systems
This unit is for archaeologists who are not information technology experts, but who do have responsibility for computerised and manual information systems, and who have a need to store information on their activities. Organisations are using ever more sophisticated information systems for a wider range of activities, from archiving to interactive multi-media display systems. On the other hand the use of 'manual' (non-computerisesystems still have a role to play.
This unit deals with the need to keep up to date with developments and seek ways of improving information systems: improvements can be modifications to existing Osystems, or complete replacement of the hardware or software. This unit covers identifying who is using information systems, consulting with them on their requirements; identifying options for how the information system can be improved; and then seeking resources for implementation and implementing the improvements once they have been agreed, so that the information system is correctly installed and meets all its specifications.
