         <ListIntro>The Dynamic Enterprise Modeler can be used before the
		  information system is operational. You use the DEM-tool to create business
		  models that are used to implement the ERP application packages. If an
		  organization decides to implement a new information system by using ERP
		  applications, the Dynamic Enterprise Modeler is used to structure the selection
		  process and perform the actual implementation and optimization of the
		  information system. The following describes the phases to complete this task:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Selection phase. This phase is used to develop a vision on the
		  implementation and optimization of the ERP modules that you require for the new
		  information system.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Implementation phase. This phase is used to implement the ERP
		  modules based on your requirements.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Optimization phase This phase is used to optimize the
		  operational information system.</ListItem>
      </ProcedureList>

         <ListIntro>During the three different phases, the Dynamic Enterprise
		  Modeler plays several roles. It functions as a decision support system in these
		  cases:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>When you develop a vision on how to functionally structure an
		  organization.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>When you develop a vision on how to organize the business
		  processes of the organization.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>When you develop a vision on how to integrate the information
		  system with these business processes.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>The DEM-tool assists during the implementation of the ERP
		  packages, based on the vision which was developed by means of the Dynamic
		  Enterprise Modeler. After the information system has been implemented, the
		  Enterprise Modeler can be used to monitor the critical success factors of an
		  organization. These three roles are carried out in the following way. During
		  the selection phase, the Dynamic Enterprise Modeler can function as a decision
		  support system by visualizing the effects of decisions on the information
		  system and its users. For example, decisions regarding business functions or
		  business processes may affect the number of applications and other types of
		  activities that must be implemented. In turn, this can affect the workload of
		  the employees that must carry out the activities. During the implementation
		  phase the Dynamic Enterprise Modeler can be used to assist in the actual
		  implementation of the ERP and other applications in the following three ways:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Setting the ERP parameters and package settings.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Generating the ERP users based on the employees defined in DEM.
		  These are the people who are going to utilize the ERP packages.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Creating the Dynamic Menu Browsers and authorizations for the
		  employees.</ListItem>
