• Based on the site readiness analysis, establish a migration strategy to guide the<br />
transition from the existing situation to one that reflects the specified record keeping<br />
requirements. Issues ranging from technology <strong>and</strong> the application of business rules to<br />
training <strong>and</strong> change management will need to be addressed.<br />
• Establish a prototype to confirm the extent to which proposed technology solutions as<br />
well as the rules established for records creation, use, <strong>and</strong> maintenance are viable <strong>and</strong><br />
that they meet the functional requirements. Issues concerning scalability, costs, training<br />
<strong>and</strong> change management, etc. can also be identified through a prototype.<br />
• Conduct an acceptance test to ensure that the prototype meets the functional <strong>and</strong><br />
technical requirements.<br />
• Develop a communications <strong>and</strong> rollout plan in line with the implementation of the system<br />
in order to ensure that users, stakeholders <strong>and</strong> others who have an interest in the<br />
system are kept aware of the implementation effort, its objectives, timetable, <strong>and</strong><br />
outcomes.<br />
• Conduct a user acceptance test to ensure that the new or modified system, once<br />
installed, meets the functional <strong>and</strong> technical requirements.<br />
