This document describes the processes to be used for creating corporate information systems within the smpe of the Integrated Information Services (IIS) Center.Issue C describes all phases of the life cycle, with strong emphasis on a Planning phase followed by the interweaving of the Analysis and Design phases.This Issue C supersedes Issue B, which concentrated on the Analysis and Design phases within the context of the entire life cycle.Use of this process is most beneficial for in-house developed software.It is recognized that components of a particular automated information system maybe commercial off the shelf (COTS) products.If a rigorous methodology is used in conjunction with the purchased produ~some recommended SILC steps might not be periiormed.Nevertheless, it is important to evaluate the applicability of this SILC process to any area the purchased product's methodology does not adequately address to ensure the quality of the resulting system.For example, system implementation/deployment in Sandia's environment is likely to be a unique process that must incorporate the spec~lc steps described in this document.
