Before embarking on trials or implementation of any documentation system, it is imperative to know that the choice is fundamentally sound. An evaluation of your needs by our consultants can save a great deal of time and wasted effort, and help to ensure success of the project. We work with you to obtain the information needed to make an thorough assessment and to arrive at informed decisions.

PDA needs analysis and scoping can include:

• In-depth analysis of your overall documentation requirements
• Comparison of the requirements with capabilities of the proposed new system
• Thorough audit of existing documentation products to identify potential problems in migration to the new system
• Examination of current documentation processes, as the basis for advising on possible changes to take full advantage of the new technology
• Assessment of the size of implementation required for immediate and possible future system use

The necessary fact-finding activities are normally conducted on-site. Consultants talk to all relevant stakeholders to ensure a sound understanding of issues that must be addressed, and to help in fostering a high-level of acceptance of the project.

You receive an objective evaluation of your specific requirements and of the suitability of AuthorIT to satisfy them, based on our extensive knowledge and experience of the system's capabilities. We also advise on any changes that might be needed in your documentation process and products as a result of the proposed transition, so that these can be factored into your considerations.

Every needs analysis is necessarily different in detail to accommodate the unique circumstances of each organisation. We will be happy to work with you to devise an approach that will best serve your particular requirements.
