The project is officially started and a project team is formed, drawn from the Access consultancy team and your own business representatives. An implementation methodology is agreed, key objectives are documented and project managers are appointed. A 'Project Definition' is produced, as a guideline for the entire implementation.
Your current business processes are examined, combined with any recommended improvements and translated into a Business Mapping Document. This information is then fed into a System Design Document, which describes how the new system will be configured and used (both documents can be amended as the project advances).
