Functionality Desired

In as much detail as possible, discuss information on the product the Yorkshire Clinic requires.

Make sure to add your expectation on data migration and interoperability capabilities now and into the future.

Product Description

Conclusion

A conclusion is an important part of the paper; it provides closure for the reader while reminding the reader of the contents and importance of the paper. For most course papers, it is usually one paragraph that simply and succinctly restates the main ideas and arguments, pulling everything together to help clarify the opinion of the paper. Remember that a conclusion does not introduce new ideas. It is used to clarify the intent and importance of the paper. This is the area where you sum up your project plan related to the goals, objectives, data migration, and testing.
