1.3 Accurately align the capabilities of the existing technology to current and potential organisational needs and strategies

2. Benchmark competing new technology applications

2.1 Identify specific operational needs that can be met by new and/or emerging digital technologies

2.2 Identify the range of functions and capabilities supplied by benchmarking competing technologies

2.3 Select critical features of competing technologies for analysis against organisational needs and strategies

2.4 Conduct an analysis of competing technologies using cost effective processes

2.5 Report on appropriate new technology by considering the analysis of critical features, and deliver report to appropriate personnel in accordance with organisational policies and procedures

3. Develop a customer contact system configuration

3.1 Identify and analyse business model to be facilitated by technology

3.2 Identify the required technology components

3.3 Identify all specific contact pathways to be managed by technology
