An evaluation of the system for its feasibility was carried out. The feasibility
evaluation included the following three elements
a) Economic feasibility The costs of the new system would be
justified by the benefits the system would provide.
b) Technical feasibility The system would work reliably, because
there was available reliable hardware, software and user training
facilities.
c) Operational feasibility The small-scale business people would use
the system and that they would not resist its implementation.
4.3.3 Choice of the best alternative
As noted in (ii) of section 4.3, there were no alternative choices. However, the new
system would be able to satisfy the following requirements
a) The system would be integrated with existing systems like ZERI
b) The system would be flexible enough so that it can be modified in the future
to be used for any type of small scale business transactions
c) The system would be equipped with enough security mechanisms to avoid
its unauthorized use
d) The benefits of the system would be worth its cost.
4.3.4 System Design

For now, the membership of MEMB is by registration. It is hoped that if this work is
developed further, the membership will be obtained by subscribing to the site,
hence make the site a full-fledged commercial website.
The design of MEMB was centered on Buyers and Sellers. The Buying and Selling
process is shown in the Fig 4.2.
