When someone has an idea for a new function to be performed by a computer, how does that idea become a reality? If a company wants to implement a new business process and needs new hardware or software to support it, how do they go about making it happen? How do they decide whether to build their own solution or buy or subscribe to a solution available in the market?
This chapter will discuss the different methods of taking those ideas and bringing them to reality, a process known as information systems development.
