Economic Analysis (EA) Support for Automated Information System Control Board (AISCB) Working Group. Part 2. Procedural Guidelines for Performing AIS EAs.

Abstract

These procedural guidelines were developed to provide a standard approach to performing economic analyses for Automated Information Systems (AISs). The purpose was to assist the AISCB in the Integrated Priority List decision process. The procedural guidelines provide guidance in the performance of an economic analysis for a proposed modification to an existing AIS, or for the development of a new AIS. Also, the guidance contains procedures for both preliminary type economic analyses and more detailed analyses. It defines elements of project life criteria, cost requirements, discounting costs, life-cycle costing, sensitivity analysis and identifying benefits. Keywords: Cost analysis; Savings/Investment ratio; Sensitivity analysis; Benefit analysis.
