The System Requirements Definition Study (SRDS) is a consulting service that thoroughly analyzes your facility and practices in order to determine your data collection requirements. The Geneva Systems team provides you with a personalized, comprehensive system requirements document that can be used as a blueprint for detailed system design and long-term planning.

When used in conjunction with Geneva Business Management Systems' suite of software programs, the SRDS serves as the basis for a fixed-bid proposal and guarantee of system functionality.

Geneva Systems recommends that customers take advantage of an SRDS for every implementation because it leads to a smooth system rollout and customer satisfaction.

The standard SRDS defines the following:
