Study Notes
Operational Feasibility
- Refers to whether a proposed system meets the needs of its users and stakeholders, and whether they can use the application or its products.
- System will be 'infeasible' if one or more groups of stakeholders cannot make use of the system.
- System will be 'feasible with difficulties' if it is inconvenient to use or does less than expected for one or more group of stakeholders.
- System will be 'readily feasible' if it is a replacement system that improves upon an existing system.
Evaluating Feasibility
- Feasibility studies identify situations that, if uncorrected, will lead to failures.
- Evaluation of feasibility involves cost and benefit analyses, including payback period, NPV, and sensitivity analysis, as well as attribute analysis that includes intangibles.
Technical Feasibility
- Refers to whether an EC application can be constructed in a suitable manner.
- Technical feasibility can be evaluated by examining processing, data, and development feasibility.
- Processing feasibility can be determined by considering what is being done in an application area, and what is done in similar application areas.
- Data feasibility can be determined by evaluating the availability of required data and information.
Economic Feasibility
- Refers to whether an organization should expend resources to develop a system.
- Economic feasibility is determined by considering the combined operational, technical, and economic feasibilities.
Overall Feasibility
- Is determined by considering the combined operational, technical, and economic feasibilities.
- Overall feasibility can range from 'infeasible' to 'readily feasible'.
Right Channelling
- Refers to reaching the right customer, using the right channel, with the right message or offering, at the right time.
- Examples include serving SMEs through e-channels and larger clients through other channels.
