As Alibaba's IS acquisition management team, you need to perform the costbenefits analysis which will consider the strengths and weaknesses of each LMS and help in choosing the best option. An example of the cost $-$ benefit analysis matrix is given in slide $11$ ?of the chapter Developing and Acquiring Information Systems. You need to develop a similar matrix for the given LMS systems with the following criteria as shown in Table $1.$

$\backslash$ table $[[$ No $.,$ Selection Criteria,Importance,Weight $],[,$ Requirements, $],[1.,$ Web $-$ based interface,High,Between $15-20],[2.,$ Suitable for businesses,Medium,Between $10-14],[,$ Constraints, $],[2.,$ Ease of use,Medium,Between $10-14],[3.,$ Subscription Costs,High,Between $15-20],[4.,$ Customer $/$ ?user support,Medium,Between $10-14]]$

Table $1.$ ?LMS selection criteria for

Alibaba.com

The weight assigned for each criterion should be in the range shown in the third column, for that criterion.

The rating is a number between $1-5$ ?that you should assign to each LMS for each criterion based on how much you feel the chosen LMS fulfills that criterion.

The final total weight for each LMS is a sum of the requirements weight and constraints weight. The LMS with the highest total weight is the LMS that will be selected and deployed by Alibaba for the professional development of the new employees.

Along with the selection based on the total weight, the team should also provide a paragraph of written justification as to why they think the selected LMS is the best choice.
