             that can be used to gather information and also categorize the results
             making the large volume of data that would come from all employees useful
             while not creating a job in itself to analyze the resulting data.
             TechRebuplic (2008) sites several additional information gathering methods
             as well but these are a good fit for the Riordan project. Once there is a
             basic consensus a statement of scope can be developed to define the
             specific need and the current problems as well as the projects constraints
             such as budget and time to help ensure the project stays on course.
             Analyzing the data gathered an analyst can begin investigating possible
             problems that may arise as a result of the new ideas and requirements.
             During this phase a feasibility study should be conducted to ensure the new
             system will be cost effective and achieve the goals set forth in the scope.
             Items to be considered are the overall cost and equipment required for the
             system. Is the system going to reduce the labor involved in managing the
             employee's payroll, benefits, annual reviews, training and other
             necessities? The expected growth of the company should be considered and
             whether or not the system is adaptable to this growth. Other things to be
             considered may be the likelihood that the employees will accept and use the
             After the analysis is completed the design phase can begin and
             processes like data input and output can be designed. The workflow is also
             considered and created along with the hardware and network infrastructure
             that will be needed. Designing the physical system includes the hardware
             such and servers, switches, routers, firewall and other network related
             equipment and the systems that will secure the new system. The best
             location for the hardware and the availability of resources provided by
             companies like Bellsouth or Comcast in the physical location will be
