You should also consider whether you need to do it all at once or could
do it incrementally. Look at what functionality you might want and where
you might get the greatest benefit and start there. Doing it that way
will reduce the chances of you committing a lot of resources (time and
money) building a system, only to find at the end that you either left
something out or added something that you didn't really need after all.
