摘要

A system in which the implementation and integration of technology systems(110) is facilitated, managed and supported regardless of the type of thetechnology system being implemented. An implementation plan (600) and strategyis developed that will ensure the highest probability of success and will betime and cost effective. The creation of implementation deliverables such asproject schedules and plans is streamlined. Users (400) are able to access,communicate with and share implementation and integration strategies with eachother. An "implementation template" (800) is created based upon specificimplementation requirements. A common framework, marketplace and community isprovided where business, vendors, consultants and other experts cancommunicate and share implementation information data in a useful and workablemanner. A mechanism is provided for pricing and billing of implementationtemplates and tools. Expert analysis is provided surrounding a specifictechnology system implementation using historical "like kind" implementationdata and knowledge bases.
