HP Requirements Analysis Service, Technical Data
A Service of the HP ConsultLine Program
Effective systems planning often is the key to capitalizing on the
opportunities of today's information technology. Without careful
planning, systems develop haphazardly. When late, poor-quality,
over-budget projects proliferate, companies waste money.
The HP Requirements Analysis service, which is a part of the HP
ConsultLine program, helps you with your systems planning needs.
Employing a proven methodology, an HP consultant defines your company's
information needs and the functionalities required to support company
operations. This methodology focuses attention on what is required,
enabling you to determine how the requirements can be met effectively
and efficiently.

Effectively Communicate Your Functional Requirements
Virtually all aspects of your business depend upon information
technology. The HP Requirements Analysis service offers a report that
assists you in effectively communicating your information systems needs
throughout your organization, from system users to company executives.
For MIS, the requirements analysis report offers accurate
identification of the real needs to be met by the solution, which
provides a solid foundation for successful implementation. The report
enables effective communication of these needs, avoiding any potential
negative effect on system development costs. It gives you a vehicle
that documents the current environment so that you can evaluate the
impact of technology on your business.
This document helps executives make more informed business decisions
about information technology. HP's requirements analysis report
thoroughly assesses your needs so that you can establish priorities,
goals, and objectives as a basis for cost justification and feasibility
studies.
The requirements analysis report also chronicles the knowledge and
experience of the users and all relevant aspects of the business
environment. It becomes the specification by which your system
designers can create a solution or vendors can be evaluated, and is a
living document guiding the project throughout its lifespan.
Evaluate Alternative Solutions
By using the HP Requirements Analysis service, you will understand the
real needs of the system before you make business decisions.
Inadequate definition of a problem often results in selecting an
incomplete solution, eventually requiring extensive modification,
either in the software or in the way you conduct business. With the HP
Requirements Analysis service, a comprehensive analysis of the
functionality required to support business operations will be
documented. This document gives you a measure against which solutions
can be objectively evaluated. The requirements analysis report can also
serve as a basis for a request for proposal.
Increase the Likelihood of a Successful Implementation
The HP Requirements Analysis service provides an objective means of
balancing your information technology needs with your business
priorities. Because the requirements analysis report provides you with
a thorough understanding of your systems needs, subsequent project
phases are built on a solid foundation. Using the report to guide the
implementation plan, you ensure the identification of necessary
modifications, unaddressed needs, and potential changes in business
procedures. This minimizes the risk of late, over-budget, or
unsuccessful implementations.
Leverage HP's Expertise and Experience
HP consultants, trained and skilled in assessing business opportunities,
are part of your team in helping you meet the challenges of evolving
technology. They provide a fresh perspective, giving you additional
insights in defining your system needs as you leverage your information
system professionals. Needs analysis, interviews, process management,
and documentation are handled by HP consultants who combine relevant
technical skills with business perspectives. The HP Requirements
Analysis service reflects HP's reputation for excellence and quality
customer support.
