These tools relieve the systems analysts of many repetitive tasks, develop clear documentation, and, for larger projects, coordinate team member activities

CASE

Data

The type of conversion that is done by abandoning the old and starting up the new

Direct

The type of feasibility that considers the costs of the new system and how long will it take for the new system to pay for itself

Economic

All systems should be _____________ from time to time to determine whether they are meeting the goals and providing the service they are suppose to

Evaluation
