Yes , I think Jeannine should have followed the counsel that was provided by the computer sales

person. The computer store salesperson suggested that she "built a database of her investments
and options, subscribe to a computer investment databank, feed data from her database into the
spreadsheet, play "what if" investment games on the spreadsheet, and then update the database to
reflect her final decisions" because spreadsheet and database are vital factor in investment
tracking system as spreadsheets can not only keep track of investments but calculate
performance and degree of volatility. It can calculate the difference of an asset's current price
minus the entry price. It can calculate the percentage return on an asset, and assess profit and
loss. Particularly helpful Its feature is its ability to calculate standard deviation, a complex
formula that assesses risk. A spreadsheet can be used in a number of ways to keep track of an
investor's holdings. The first step is to decide what data you would like to include. example of a
simple spreadsheet that tracks one investment's data, including date, entry, size (how many
shares), closing prices for the dates specified, the difference between the closing price and the
entry price, the percentage return, profit and loss for each periodic closing price, and the standard
deviation. A separate sheet in a Spreadsheet workbook can be used for each stock .
Likewise ,if investment is growing and you can run it, keeping track of the increasing amount of
data can be tricky. Good database systems can help you manage all your investment-critical data
centrally, safely and securely - whenever you need it - to boost your chances of success.
Databases have some form of reporting capabilities - from analyzing input data and productivity
tracking, to anticipating future trends and market’s needs. If you're planning a strategy for
growth, a robust database system can be your business' most valuable resource.
I persuade Jeannine to take the system analysis and design course because Systems analysis is
vital in determining what a business's needs are, as well as how they can be met, who will be
responsible for individual pieces of the project, and what sort of timeline should be expected
.System analysis involves the evaluation and assessment of the systems to ensure that the
targeted changes are necessary. In the event of a problem, possible solutions are submitted and
analyzed to identify the best fit for the ultimate goals of the project . It is also where system
analysis takes place—or analyzing the needs of the end users to ensure the new system can meet
their expectations.
In this case study system analysis and design training help know about system development life
cycle thus , she can create a prototype work on it and make necessary changed as per
requirement . She also can have knowledge on combining the database and spreadsheet data in
the system and generate graphic format which guide her when to invest ,when to divest. She can
attract other investor if her system has greater attributes and easy tracking system .
Lack of system analysis and design knowledge means she is unaware of any fact related to the
investment tracking system ,company’s investment strategies ,policies ,etc.so she can run into
several problem ,she would completely empty mind how the system is working what is role
,when to invest and when to divest etc. so it would to best to take course to develop her skill and
knowledge to make her business grow smoothly .
