Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A scoring model can be used for selecting projects where many criteria must be considered. It assigns weights to various features of a system and then calculates the weighted totals. What Smarty's would do is have decision makers such as top managers list the various features they feel are important to have in the system, such as the processes that need support or reports they may need from the system. Each feature, or criteria, the managers list is given a weight, or rating, in terms of how important it is overall to have in the system. Each package then is evaluated in terms of the percentage of requirements it contributes or supports for each criteria. In the scoring model, you multiply the weight with the software's percentage of contribution to arrive at a score for each criteria. The scores of both software packages are totaled and compared to see overall their contribution to fulfilling the company's requirements.
