In addition, there is a pressing need to track and document individual action requests and incident reports from our clients. It is believed that significant benefits would accrue if these two sources of information could interoperate. It is also important that these two sources of information be securely accessible from remote sites, so that the technician on call can reference client data from wherever he or she is. Lastly, the solution must support the ability to generate and report on key performance metrics.

Narrative

For the first deliverable (Request for System Services) I carefully reviewed the CTTS case study introduction, paying particular attention to the section labeled The Problem. I also went back and checked my work against chapter five of Systems Analysis and Design Methods. For the second deliverable (Problem Statement Matrix) I read through the interview between Peter and Anna, and again reviewed the CTTS case study introduction. I also re-read portions of chapter five of Systems Analysis and Design Methods.
