IT Requirement Assessments

Feasibility studies determine an application project’s viability before it is approved and funded, ensuring the project is aligned with organizational goals and objectives. Once the Requirements Assessment is approved, a detailed study of the business needs of the organization begins. This process involves interviewing and facilitating small group sessions with key stakeholders.

SDI Presence provides services to gather the application requirements, identify features and functionalities, develop functional and technical requirements, and create the request for proposal (RFP) with key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, or service-level requirements as needed.

SDI’s business analysts use the International Institute of Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) areas to ensure application requirements are properly gathered, managed, and communicated. These phases include:

• Enterprise Analysis – Project initiation activities for assessing requirements and functional design work, conducted within the context of the entire organization.
• Requirements Planning and Management – Resources and tasks associated with the planning and management of requirements gathering.
• Requirements Elicitation – Standard techniques used to gather requirements for an application or integrated system.  These activities focus on:
  • High-level design – how applications will interact
  • Low-level design – how individual applications will function
  • Interface design – the technical mapping and graphical representation of the interfaces
  • Data design – the actual data requirements
• Requirements Analysis and Documentation – Methods and tools used to structure data collected during Requirements Elicitation.
• Requirements Communication – Activities for expressing the output of Requirements Analysis and Documentation to a broad, diverse audience.
• Solution Assessment and Validation – These activities are conducted to ensure the solution meets stakeholder objectives, is thoroughly tested, and is successfully implemented

During these phases, the application software’s overall structure is defined, designed, and documented so that it meets the needs of our client. Our application experts then translate these requirements and expectations into the technical details that will be included in the RFP.

SDI will also provide a continuous review of any application enhancements to ensure any modifications meet the customer’s application requirements.
