A large, publicly funded university is considering introducing a new information system in order to...

The system has the capacity to deal with all existing records and all new records to be created in the foreseeable future.

The system is capable of being run in parallel with the current system so as to have the opportunity to examine and overcome any unforeseen difficulties that might arise.

The system has been demonstrated to operate with a degree of accuracy at least as good as the existing system and as good as that used by similar universities.

The system can link seamlessly with the system used by the university for processing financial transactions and producing financial statements.

All information on the system can be accessed easily from outside the university through the internet.
