FSO Summary of Findings to Date 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm

  • Project Assumptions

      Þ Wherever possible, software will be off-the-shelf, with minimal customization.

      Þ  Use industry-leading Best Practices as input to the software selection process.

      Þ After software solution is selected, business processes will be based on Best Practices of the software chosen, except as where noted by SMEs.

      Þ Requirements will be based on Best Practices and off-the-shelf functionality. Gap analysis will be performed to determine unique functional needs.

      Þ We want to create a unique, accelerated procurement process for this project.

      Þ Fewer systems are better (interface points are the weakest part of the infrastructure).

      Þ We will consider outsourcing functions in order to be world class.
