Placeholder imageRequirements Definition

One of the keys to a successful system selection and integration effort is the definition of requirements.  Requirements are carried through a project from the beginning to the end.  They are used for evaluating, selecting, designing, configuring, testing, and accepting a solution.

Our professionals understand the importance of solid requirements and work with our clients to define requirements that normally fit into one of the following categories:

  • Business Requirements:  These typically focus on high level aspects of a business (e.g., number of employees, anticipated revenue growth, single or multiple product lines).
  • Organizational Requirements:  These typically focus on the "people" aspects of the business (e.g., number of users, remote users, security levels).
  • Functional Requirements:  These typically focus on required functionality by process (e.g., in the customer service process the system may be required to have functionality to support searches by customer name and/or phone number)
  • Technical Requirements:  These typically focus on desired technologies, support, etc. (e.g., web-based solution, hosted solution, strong technical support)

Our approach to defining requirements takes into consideration baseline documentation obtained at the start of the project; knowledge obtained through the documentation of key client processes and interviews with key client personnel; and our experience with similiar selection and integration efforts.

We work with our clients to capture requirements and define a comprehensive list of standard requirements, critical business requirements, and requirements that address where a business is highly specialized or unique.  We also help define system requirements and vendor requirements (e.g., vendor stability, maintenance approach, implementation timeline).

Once compiled, we work closely with our clients to prioritize the requirements and define any "showstoppers" or "must have" requirements.  Once complete, our clients have defined requirements that can be leveraged throughout the selection and integration lifecycle.
