Description
Software Application Design involves gathering and analyzing the customer business functions, then designing an application solution to meet the prioritized business requirements.
The first step in this service is to establish a charter, which defines the scope and responsibilities for this service. The final step is a presentation of options for meeting customer business requirements such as:
- Buying a solution
- Developing a customized solution – may be multiple options
- Sharing of developed technology
- Making procedural recommendations such as changing the way business is currently performed
- Doing nothing
Benefits include:
- Knowledge of State Government
- Competitive price because the rates are for time and materials only and do not include a profit
- Established procedures for skill acquisition and staff augmentation of Office of the CIO staff
- Experience in multiple technology platforms/solutions
- Better understanding of your business requirements
- Sharing of ideas between government entities
- Projects are tracked and status communicated by industry recognized standards, procedures and tools
Should customer approval be obtained for one of the IT solutions, plans would be made to proceed to Software Application Development.
Business Value
