What are the steps in creating CABS?

CABS can be setup in a long or short period of time depending upon the size of the system itself.  These are some steps to be considered in creating CABS:

Existing System Recognition

Before creating CABS it should understand what kind of system does the company have and how does it work in your company.  Possibly from the simple to the worst scenarios the company has encountered or theories to make the CABS more efficient to what the system may face to the future.

Proposed System Designing

By this time CABS should know on what kind of system does your company need, what are the problems on the existing system, and what does CABS will do to your company.  It’s more like a negotiation on what kind of CABS we can offer you.

CABS Creation and Assessment

CABS construction period is depending upon the type of system the company wants.  While the project is ongoing a demo version of CABS is applied to the company for assessment meaning we want to make sure that CABS have no difficulty in the system itself and to give time to adjust for the transformation of your company’s new system.
