Study On Requirement Management For Cloud-based Cross-border E-commerce Platform

At present,E-commerce becomes increasingly popular in China,especially for the cross-border E-commerce,which has a great boom under national policy support.Therefore,the cross-border platforms are springing up in the past years.Since the traditional E-commerce companies are insufficient in terms of the knowledge of characteristic,business model and operation model about cross-border E-commerce,those companies are facing requirement uncertainty while building cross-border E-commerce platform.In the meantime more and more cloud computing platforms were built by the self-built-server platform technology,which have advantages in virtual on-demand service and better expansibility.Not only because the new platform technology has high uncertainty,but also the emerging cross-border E-commerce platform increases the difficulty of the project management during the process of building cloud platform,which involving a large number of departments and complex personnel structure,the importance of an appropriate project requirement management is particularly prominent.By author's practical experience in implementing project management in crossborder e-commerce and summary of platform construction process,the following general problems were found:(1)Compared to traditional E-commerce companies,it is difficult to identify and evaluate all business requirement factors including foreign purchase,international logistics supply chain,foreign currency settlement and so on;(2)Priority of requirement is difficult for cross-border E-commerce cloud platform and structure is complicated;(3)It is difficult that such a lot of requirements on business and technical structure to be sorted orderly and response strategy being taken.Then the requirement management is not able to be managed effectively;(4)There has a large number of requirements when architecting cross-border E-commerce cloud platform.It is difficult to implement assessment and take effective measures to prevent it.Based on the above problems in the cross-border E-commerce companies in the cloud platform project,this thesis focuses on the research and discusses how to take effective measures to manage project requirements.Combined traditional project management method with AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process),this thesis aims to construct a requirement factor assessment model which is suitable for the cross-border E-commerce.On the results of every essential factor requirement assessment,the analysis model will provide priority and certain result that can deal with identified project requirements.Through the attack tree model that can recognize technical architecture requirement on cross-border E-commerce cloud platform,the measures can be taken for these requirement in order to improve the management ability on cross-border E-commerce project.According to the above requirement management method in the process of enterprise project practice application and the completed identification of all kinds of requirement factors of the project,the paper build a set of management method for cross-border E-commerce cloud platform.Through the verification of actual projects,the thesis proposed that these requirement management measures can effectively control the requirement of cross-border E-commerce cloud platform project,improve the level of project requirement management.
