Computer systems planning and implementation are an essential ingredient for smooth and efficient operation of any computer system . Planning is a required prerequisite when installing a new computer system or upgrading an existing computer system to address new requirements. Planning marks the first stage of the life cycle of computer systems. In this chapter, we look at the principles and techniques that lie underneath computer systems planning. We also discuss issues related to the implementation phase .
