For more complex requirements EScIS can offer a formalised Needs Assessment. 

EScIS will typically interview the main work groups and assess:  

Current Situations and Requirements:

• Review current data requirements (inputs & outputs), how people currently handle data, and obtain examples.
• Review requirements against functionality of the standard ESdat Implementation and extensions.

Exposure:

• Assess corporate exposure (in case a person leaves and no one can find the files)

Time Savings:

• An estimate of time currently spent managing data.
• Estimate probable time savings.

Recommendations:

EScIS will compare the requirements against standard ESdat functionality, available exentensions, and customisation work if required.  EScIS will detail the cost, and the timeline for delivery.
