Riordan Manufacturing is a global plastics manufacturer employing 550 people with projected annual earnings of $46 million. The company is wholly owned by Riordan Industries, a Fortune 1000 enterprise with revenues in excess of $1 billion. Riordan strives to be a solution provider to their customers and not be a part of their customers’ …show more content…
As Tom Mochal says in his 2001 article “Gathering Business Requirements”, “Gathering good requirements up front saves time and money and improves the overall quality of your product. Remember, your customers are going to require that the final solution meets their needs. The question is whether you discover their needs before you start to design and build or whether you’ll be forced to retrofit missed requirements into the solution after the fact” (Mochal, 2001, para 4).

The employees who use the current system are Yvonne McMillan, Silvija Peterson, and Ana Richlich; so these employees will receive the first rollout. The next round of upgrades will go to recruiting, training, and development because these departments will benefit the most from the new system. Finally, the rollouts will carry on and prioritize based on the employees’ use of the new system.
Riordan Manufacturing must complete all six major implementation stages by the time installation of the new program is completed. According to Dennis, A., Wixom, B. H., & Roth, R. M. (2009) “coding is the process of turning program logic into specific instructions that the computer system can execute”. Converting Riordan’s current system into the new system will take time and require much coding. During this stage the implementation process will begin, ensuring the old system will convert efficiently to the new system. Testing the coding are performed
