2. Build a business case: Offer a preliminary business case by summarizing your initial needs assessment and provide a business justification for the system based on upon the difference between the existing system and your vision (proposed) system. This can involve creating a preliminary plan that maps the company's current processes to desired software features and best practices. This is like a road map from where we are' to where we want to be'. In addition to your narrative, support your final vision with a high-level system flowchart that shows the functionality (modules) you want in your system and how they should connect. At this point you don't know if the software candidates will have all the features you want, or if you will have to re-engineer any of your internal processes. This is your 'wish list' and we will crunch the numbers on ROI shortly
