Receive signoff on development scope The development of electronic forms will be treated as a separate work stream to ensure timely implementation of the core eProcurement system. We will begin by understanding and documenting the business processes. Followed by the development of functional specifications to support the implementation of the electronic forms. Approach: Design Electronic Forms Deliverables ? Business rule and workflow specifications ? Electronic form specifications ?

The team we are proposing is uniquely qualified to do this implementation, not only because of its petencies and skills, but because it consists of individuals with recent first hand experience in the following areas: ? Our team has done this before. Last month, the Atlanta based ponent of our team pleted an Ariba implementation for a leading telemunications client. The project was plex and had a 7week “hard” deadline. The team we are proposing pleted the project on time and on budget.
