8 Integration How well does the application integrate with business processes (and their related data) across different functional areas? Please consider the ease of process integration, the level of manual intervention (such as repetitive data entry), the timeliness of data updates, and the simplicity of process handoffs. RADIO BUTTONS: Label: “5 – Orchestrated”, Value: 5 Label: “4 – Automated”, Value: 4 Label: “3 – Sufficient”, Value: 3 Label: “2 – Manual”, Value: 2 Label: “1 – Disconnected”, Value: 1 5 – Orchestrated: Business processes and data are seamlessly and flawlessly integrated in real-time across functional areas; workflows and data translations are choreographed across applications without any manual intervention 3 – Sufficient: Business processes are mostly integrated with automated workflows; some manual rekeying (export/import) necessary for ancillary tools and analysis; data are generally updated in real-time, but some batch and/or manual updates inhibit efficiency 1 – Disconnected: Substantial manual data entry and re-keying across processes; data updates are largely batch and constrain process efficiencies; the application is disconnected from all other applications; data requires substantial translation to adapt with other applications 9 Resilience How well does the application function correctly during stressful conditions? Please consider the robustness of the application in handling high-transaction volume or congested activity, or if the application indicates issues or underlying problems with business process design, data access/entry, technology performance. RADIO BUTTONS: Label: “5 – Elastic”, Value: 5 Label: “4 – Very Resilient”, Value: 4 Label: “3 – Resilient”, Value: 3 Label: “2 – Somewhat Resilient”, Value: 2 Label: “1 – Rigid”, Value: 1 5 – Elastic: High volume and peak business throughput are handled on demand without failure or service degradation; demand is managed effortlessly without intervention; processes, data, and interfaces are optimized for scale. 3 – Resilient: Minor increases/spikes in volume and throughput without issue; major increases require a reasonable level of management intervention, planning and investment; congestion occurs with an acceptable level of service degradation. 1 – Rigid: Unable to handle increases in volume or throughput without significant service degradation and failure; substantial planning and investment required to meet any increase in demand; process design, data entry and technology are inflexible.
