Your project has been divided into four phases corresponding with <br />the objectives stated above. The activities of each phase are <br />described below. <br />Phase I - Define System Requirements <br />Phase I consists of documenting your current and future data <br />processing requirements. The documentation will include a <br />definition of your current flow of information and current and <br />future transaction volumes. Documentation is prepared in order <br />to identify your system requirements and collect the information <br />necessary to prepared vendor Requests for Proposal during Phase <br />III. Phase I consists of extensive interviews with your staff to <br />provide require information. Your current procedures, method of <br />handling documents, and filing and record keeping processes will <br />be analyzed. Observations about improving the content and flow <br />of information may be made at this time. Existing transaction <br />counts and projections of future volumes will be determined. <br />The end product of Phase I will be a document describing your <br />current and long term information requirements along with general <br />recommendations about the potential benefits and resulting <br />priorities of various information system segments. <br />Phase II - Develop Cost Analysis of System Alternatives <br />The focus of Phase II will be to identify alternatives for <br />satisfying your information requirements and to compare and <br />contrast the relative benefits and costs of each. Some <br />alternatives which will be considered include: <br />1. A new centralized in -house computer system, <br />2. Several decentralized microcomputers, <br />3. Improvement of your current system, <br />38 <br />
