



Get a diverse audience excited about CHEER CONNECTIONS
Educate that audience about CHEER CONNECTIONS’s role, services
Increase usability
Develop a more sophisticated, web-savvy look for the entire web site
Ease site maintenance
Incorporate multimedia (Flash, video) where it helps tell CHEER CONNECTIONS’s
story
Develop a site referral program
Develop an opt-in email newsletter tool that CHEER CONNECTIONS, or specific
CHEER CONNECTIONS territories, can use to keep members up-to-date.
2.2 Justification
The Functional Specification is a contract between the customer and the team, describing from a
technical view what the customer expects. The quality of the Functional Specification
(completeness and correctness) has a significant impact on the quality of the development
activities and all follow on phases. Completion of this website will increase the amount of sales
and profits that will directly be reflected in the bottom line. The customer will also be able to have
easier access with regards to finding the products that they need in an easier more user friendly
format.
3. Information Culture
The goal of CHEER CONNECTIONS is to build a strong and productive information culture that
maximizes the effectiveness of the processes employees use to store, find and communicate information.
A strong and productive information culture is based on the appropriate tools (for example a document
repository) and policies (for example a practice of posting project summaries in a shared corporate
memory repository), but it needs much more:
A pervasive understanding that:
 good information behaviors are paramount;
 such behaviors are everyone's responsibility;
 they make everyone's work lives easier.
4. Security Requirements
CHEER CONNECTIONS administrative functions – both email and content management – will be
protected and organized by a security layer. When staff log into the administrative site, the security layer
will determine their user level (administrator, editor or author) and what site areas and tools they can use.
