Paper For Above instruction

The development and implementation of an e-grant system require precise identification of functional and non-functional requirements to ensure efficiency, security, and user-friendliness. This paper discusses the comprehensive requirements analysis for an e-grant system based on a requisite workshop, focusing on business, user, system, and non-functional requirements, to facilitate a smooth and secure grant application process.

Business and User Requirements

The primary goal of the e-grant system is to streamline the application and approval process while ensuring secure financial transactions. Business requirements denote that the system must facilitate safe money transfers, which include enabling applicants to input their banking details securely. As Little (2016) highlights, a compliant system should adhere to financial protocols to guarantee safe, reliable monetary transactions from state administrators to applicants. Users must have the ability to create and access their accounts at any time, supporting continuous accessibility and ease of use, aligning with system processing standards (Alla, Pazos & DelAguila, 2017).

Application Submission and Navigation

The system should be user-friendly, allowing applicants to navigate easily through the process, from selecting applications to submitting their data. Once applications are submitted, the system must send confirmation messages, serving as acknowledgment of receipt and facilitating effective communication (Chari & Agrawal, 2018). This approach minimizes user errors and enhances transparency.

Administrator Functionality and Application Evaluation

Administrators require unrestricted access to received applications to perform evaluations at any time, which necessitates sophisticated access controls and robust storage solutions for ease of retrieval. The system must support manual entry of application scores and enable these scores to be saved automatically, ensuring that evaluations are accurate, stored securely, and can be reviewed or amended when required. These functionalities conform to auditing standards, supporting accountability in the application review process.

Approval, Rejection, and Commenting Features

The system must facilitate application approvals or rejections, with administrators able to perform these actions directly within the platform. Incorporating a comment section allows administrators to document reasons for rejections or notes for future reference, promoting transparency and effective communication with applicants (Chari & Agrawal, 2018).

Non-Functional Requirements

Non-functional requirements focus on the system's security, reliability, usability, and performance. Secure data transmission protocols are vital to protect applicants’ sensitive banking information, conforming with financial and data security standards (Little, 2016). System reliability must be assured so that administrators and applicants can depend on consistent availability. User experience is enhanced through an intuitive interface, minimizing training requirements and reducing errors. Performance considerations include swift application processing and automatic score updates to prevent delays and support real-time decision-making.

In conclusion, implementing an effective e-grant system depends critically on well-defined requirements that encompass operational, security, and usability aspects. Following a comprehensive requirements workshop, these outlined needs serve as a blueprint for designing a system that streamlines application submission, evaluation, and approval processes while ensuring compliance with financial and data security standards. Such a system will facilitate transparency, efficiency, and trust among all stakeholders involved in the grant management lifecycle.
