2.5. Repeating the Site Survey

There may need to be more than one site survey, particularly if an enterprise has offices in multiple cities or countries. The informational needs might be so complex that several different organizations have to keep information at their local offices rather than at a single, centralized site.

In this case, each office that keeps a main copy of information should perform its own site survey. After the site survey process has been completed, the results of each survey should be returned to a central team (probably consisting of representatives from each office) for use in the design of the enterprise-wide data schema model and directory tree.
