  8. Architecture/Characteristics • Appearance: visually appealing using consistent language and style • Accessible: easy to access, read, navigate and understand • Content: accurate, informative, relevant and up to date • Functional: every component on the system should work quickly and correctly • Concurrent: the system should allow for concurrent use • Security: the system will be accessed through login and passwords. Different levels of access will be required for different levels of users.

  11. Implementation Programme • Phase 1 • Audit/review of current mechanisms and move to a standard package for all EA funded groups • Develop regional and local Target Monitor to collect core data on specific activities and programmes • Create a portal on the Education Authority website incorporating the Target Monitor where users will be given access rights. This will also include facilities to upload action plans, area plans, a range of standardised documents and forms. It will also include staff structures and directories. • Phase 2 • The development of a business plan for a web-based Management Information System. This part of the process will also decide the MIS specification and functions, determine timescales and resources required
