Initial Analysis

The following questions need to be addressed during the initial analysis:

• Can the solution be provided with existing product sets?
   

• Should the product be purchased or built in-house?
   

• Are other business or technology units able to utilize the product?
   

• Does the product provide any other additional benefits?
   

• What is the impact of not solving the business or technology problem?

Determine Impact to the Information Technology Support Infrastructure

The product’s affect on the support infrastructure is determined during this phase. Although the major focus should be on solving the problem identified in the initial analysis, it is proper to allow external considerations to affect the final outcome. A product is useless if it cannot be successfully implemented and integrated into the existing information processing environment. The product’s impact on individuals and groups as well as its impact on existing products and technologies is determined at this time.

Collect the following information during this phase of the analysis project:

• The use of new products often increases development time and training costs. Can the additional time and higher application development costs be justified by an increase in functionality or competitive advantage?
