Provide external/internal reports Database mobility
Input
Primary Users– Staff
Brent, Bob, Carol, Dave
Secondary Users– Residents– Parole officers, city officials– Private Donors
Assignments/Team Members

Budget
Annual budget of $5000, of which 0% is allocated for this type of project
Labor– Volunteer work
Equipment– Limited upgrading as a result of zero budget– Ram upgrade is considered– Existing software will have to do
Facilities– Computer access on 3 levels– Won’t require additional CPUs
Budget Continued…
Consumables– Elimination of some paper forms– Reduce time spent on:
Filing Manual searching for resident records Creating reports
Important Dates

Timeline
Output of the existing system
Intended Output– Accurate data about resident
Personal information, employment history, education, medical history, etc.
– Resident reporting
Unintended Output– Excess paperwork– Inaccurate data– Increased search time– File misplacement

Detailed Design Documentation
Existing 70 Gb network drive accessible on all 3 levels
Secure logon to database with user id and password
Deliverables– Resident intake form– Resident exit report
Detail Design Documentation continued…
Hardware– No hardware changes– Ram upgrade possible
Software– No software changes– Windows 98, Microsoft Access
Wetware– Resident data manually entered by staff– Training for new system functionality– Passwords and security controlled by Bob– System access by staff only
Cost Benefit Analysis
Tangible Benefits– Reduce..
Time saved searching for resident files File misplacement Repeating resident data Calculations
2 hours/week * 52 weeks = 104 hours 104 hours * $5.15/hour = $536 $536 * 4 members = $2144/year
– Total tangible benefits $2144
Cost Benefit Analysis
Intangible benefits– Improved staff attitude towards system $200– Increased convenience for staff use 50– Better relationship with secondary users 5000
and residents– Total Intangible benefits $5250
Cost Benefit Analysis
Tangible Costs– Ram upgrade $240
3 computers * $80
– Labor 600 $600 Donated
– Maintenance 0 All maintenance is voluntary
– Consumables (paper) 30
Total Tangible Costs $ 870
Cost Benefit Analysis
Intangible Costs– Training for new system (opportunity cost)
2 hours * $5.15/hour = $10.30 4 staff members * 10.30 = $41.20
Total Intangible Costs $41.20
Cost Benefit Ratio
Total Benefits– Tangible $2144– Intangible 5250 $7394
Total Costs– Tangible $870– Intangible 41.20 $911.20Costs/Benefits911.20/7394 = Cost benefit ratio of .12
Implementation
Coding– Existing Access resident database– Language
Access
Testing– Alpha Testing
Matt and Paul
– Beta Testing Brent and Bob
Implementation continued…
Deployment– Download new database to network drive– Data migration from existing database to new database
Training– 1 or 2 hours for training with new database functionality and
report generation
Maintenance– 30 day contact period using email or phone support
