The Shining Stars primary school was the recent recipient of a technology grant to source and implement a school management system. The school administrator is not technology savvy and therefore sought advice from three of the board members who were knowledgeable in the information systems and technology field.

• One director advised the administrator to purchase an off-the-shelf solution which would allow the school to get the system configured and up and running in a short period with reasonable costs.
• The second advised the administrator to invest in the development of a unique system to meet the custom requirements of the schools administration. He suggested that this would create a closer fit to the schools needs compared to purchasing software, but will cost more.
• The third director suggested using an open source solution which would have little if any upfront costs but may take some time to set up.

Required:

i) Identify the stakeholders of the information system

ii) State how their roles may influence the SDLC.
