A large part of determining resources has to do with assessing technical feasibility. The analyst must find out whether current technical resources can be upgraded or added to in a manner that fulfills the request under consideration. If existing systems cannot be added onto, then the next question becomes whether there is technology in existence that meets the specifications. This is where the expertise of system analysts is beneficial, since using their own experience and their contact with vendors they will be able to answer the question of technical feasibility. Economic Feasibility .
Economic feasibility is the second part of resource determination.
The concerned business must be able to see the value of the investment it is pondering before committing to an entire system study. Operational Feasibility . Suppose for a moment that technical and economic resources are both judged adequate. The systems analyst must still consider the operational feasibility of the requested project. Operational feasibility is dependent on human resources available for the project and involves projecting whether the system will operate and be used once it is installed.
