GAP Analysis

Business Needs and Gap Analysis service are intended to refine the customer’s business requirements and documents to achieve optimum configurations and enhancements to the business process. Throughout the GAP Analysis processes, it’s critical to work closely with the customer and with the technology partners/providers to identify the right mix of technologies, products, tools and devices that may provide the best overall solution to the business environment, thus moving the customer from the present state to the optimized, improved and enhanced target state. In the process of completing GAP analysis between the existing (Legacy) system and the new System, critical requirements in the legacy system that can be categorized as “Must Keep” are clearly identified. The GAP analysis process will yield sufficient documentation on the Legacy System requirements to determine the status of each requirement. Legacy System requirements are categorized as follows:

• Requirements are still needed
• Requirements that need to be changed or improved, impact on requirements change to external interfaces must be identified
• Requirements that need to be removed
