When an organisation is in the early stages of looking for a system there needs to be two parallel strands
- basic product research; and
- requirements definition
- who are the providers
- what can the systems do
- basic costs.
After all there is no point in doing any more research if what you want can not be done. Also, when meetings are arranged with potential suppliers the organisation will be speaking from a position of knowledge.
Requirements definition is needed to properly understand what the organisation needs. There should be a 'must have' list and a 'wish' list of requirements but it is important to make sure that the wish list doesn't take precedence.
The next stage is how to choose the potential providers....
