Introduction In todays business world utilization of Information Technology (IT) plays a major role in all the organizations. We are experiencing the fast rate at which small, medium and large corporations are changing themselves to adapt to new processes and technology. This adaptation brings many challenges, and answer for all those challenges is expected from the professionals who are well versed with the Technical and Managerial aspects of such challenges. This two put together we call them Systems. Professionals specialized in Systems, are expected to understand the business domains, design and develop the System as required by the organization, which will not only include the IT environment but will also encompass the areas of optimum utilization and change management. It is immaterial whether the professional works for his own organization or for external clients. Software Engineering is the most challenging subject in Systems domain as this subject teaches us to transform business requirements into IT systems.
