Final System Report - Business Development Project Analysis Report

This Final System Report details a comprehensive analysis of a business development project. It includes an overview of the system, the project's scope, and its tangible and intangible benefits. The report covers feasibility studies, time and cost estimates, requirements checklists, and data and process models. It also features a system design specification, a recommended acquisition strategy, and an implementation plan, including personnel needs and a proposed timetable. Financial information, such as operating and implementation costs, and the estimated useful life of the new system, are also provided. The report concludes with a summary highlighting the benefits of the proposed system and any concerns regarding resources. This assignment is designed to give a detailed analysis of a business development project from beginning to end, including all of the required steps to get the project off the ground.
