System design is the process of defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements. It involves determining the elements of a system such as its architecture, modules, and components as well as the interfaces and data flows. Systems design takes a systematic approach and considers all related variables to design a coherent system that meets the needs of an organization. One structured methodology is SSADM, which uses logical data modeling, data flow modeling, and entity behavior modeling throughout the system design life cycle from initial design to physical implementation.
