ABSTRACT
Task 1: Determine Organizational Readiness and Impact Undertaking the design and development, adoption, or purchase of an XInternet system has strategic implications for organizations. Making the decision to implement a system will have an effect on information technology strategies and infrastructure, budgeting and planning, personnel and staffing, and policy. The decision can also have an effect on how the organization sees its role as a provider of data and how it chooses to service its constituents and develop relationships with them. The strategic impact of such a project will vary, depending on the size and structure of the organization and its existing resources.
