Needs analysis for mobile forms solutions: The first step to successful implementation
The needs analysis is the first step to a mobile forms solution: interviews, process review, requirements and selection criteria for implementation.
The needs analysis is the first step in implementing a mobile forms solution. It identifies the organisation’s requirements and ensures that the chosen solution meets them.
Four steps of the needs analysis
- Interviews with key people. Department heads, IT managers and employees describe their requirements for a mobile forms solution.
- Analysis of existing forms and processes. Existing forms and workflows are reviewed for weaknesses and potential savings. The mobile solution then targets exactly these points.
- Defining core functions. The analysis names the most important requirements, such as ease of use, integration with existing systems or the signing of digital documents.
- Setting priorities. The results are prioritised so that the implementation delivers the greatest benefit.
