            <ListIntro>The Dynamic Enterprise Modeler can be used before the
		  information system is operational. This means that you can use the DEM-tool to
		  create business models by means of which you can implement the ERP application
		  packages. If an organization decides to implement a new information system
		  using ERP applications, the Dynamic Enterprise Modeler must be used to
		  structure the selection process, and to perform the actual implementation and
		  optimization of the information system. This can be achieved by completing
		  these phases:</ListIntro>
            <ListItem>Selection phase. This phase is used to develop a vision on the
		  implementation and optimization of the ERP modules that are needed for the new
		  information system.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Implementation phase. This phase is used to implement the ERP
		  modules based on the vision that was made in the selection phase.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Optimization phase This phase is used to optimize the
		  operational information system that was implemented in the second phase.</ListItem>
