5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best book on business modeling and diagramming!, October 29, 1998

Steve Thomas (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Structured Systems Analysis: Tools and Techniques (IST databooks) (Paperback)

As a business process consultant and information systems designer, I am constantly looking for effective techniques for capturing business details and new system requirements. I have looked at every new tool and method to come along, but this is STILL the best one there is. A testament to this book and it's methods is that many of the latest software tools, using the latest technology, still build on the methods and diagrams used in this book. And it's all still valid. Every consultant, business analyst, and systems designer MUST have a copy of this book in their library!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text - Recommend highly, January 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Structured Systems Analysis: Tools and Techniques (IST databooks) (Paperback)

This is an EXCELLENT text and workbook. I was searching for a current publication. I have a very old copy but I find it still extremely relevant. I Took a graduate course in structured systems analysis in 1997 and the text the professor/ school ordered for the students was horrible and absolutely no help. I took out my old copy and was able to follow along very well. (I would bet the professor was also using this text as his guide :-) THIS BOOK NEEDS TO BE KEPT IN CIRCULATION!!!!
