Overview of alternatives • Possible alternatives • “Sticking with the current system” should always be studied as one alternative • Different business processes for solving the problems • Different levels/types of computerization for the solutions • Advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives • The major possible alternatives should be discussed and compared using clearly defined criteria.

• Types of costs Development costs purchasing cost, Installation cost, operational cost
Conclusion • The conclusions section of a feasibility is the restatement of the conclusions you have already reached in the comparison sections. In this section, you restate the individual conclusions, for example, which model had the best price, which had the best battery function, and so on. • It must untangle all the conflicting conclusions and somehow reach the final conclusion, which is the one that states which is the best choice
Recommendation
• The final section of feasibility reports states the recommendation. • The recommendation section should echo the most important conclusions leading to the recommendation and then state the recommendation emphatically. • the basis for that judgment has to be stated somewhere in the requirements section.
