This question identifies the primary business benefit of replacing a client-based P&L system with a web-based one for geographically dispersed operations. The scenario centers on enabling employees in multiple locations to reach financial data.

Question

Company A is a nation-wide leader in commercial demolition. Having just celebrated its 100th year of operations, the company decided to begin doing work internationally. The current system used for reporting company finances is unable to keep pace with the potential demands of doing work in geographically dispersed locations. Therefore, the company decided to replace its client- based Profit & Loss (P&L) reporting system with a more robust, web-based system. This will ensure transparency across the organization and enable better decision making. The business analyst (BA) at Company A has recently completed several rounds of elicitation to determine the requirements for the new, web-based system. Over 1250 requirements were elicited. An initial Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) has been drafted, and a subset of the RTM can be seen below: The BA is working on identifying additional improvement opportunities based on these requirements. Which of the following improvement opportunities is reflected in Requirement ID NFP0002?

Options

  • AAdditional capability
  • BIncreased efficiency
  • CDefined relationship to information
  • DImproved access to information

Explanation

This question identifies the primary business benefit of replacing a client-based P&L system with a web-based one for geographically dispersed operations. The scenario centers on enabling employees in multiple locations to reach financial data.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Additional capability refers to introducing new functional features, but the scenario emphasizes geographic reach and organizational transparency rather than adding new system capabilities.
  • B. Increased efficiency is a secondary outcome and is not the primary driver stated in the scenario, which explicitly focuses on cross-location access and decision-making transparency.
  • C. Defined relationship to information is a data modeling or governance concept, not a business benefit resulting from transitioning to a web-based reporting system.

Concept tested. Identifying business benefits driving system replacement decisions
