Project Overview
Problem description
Haynes Research Services Ltd. is a custom research institution used by
thousands of clients worldwide. The company offers custom market research
services via a heavily customised order form on their website. Currently all orders
come in via email and have to be processed manually.
Processing involves:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Storing order details in Excel
Contacting client to request further details
Finding the most relevant researcher for the order
Assigning him/her to the case
Keeping the client updated
Sending the final research to the client
• System should support a number of states that can be assigned to each
order
• Comments can be left on each order
• Old orders can be archived
Target audience
The intranet will be used by all company employees, but most of all the managers
and customer service staff.
Project Budget: $50,000
Deadline: 13/10/2015
Main problems faced at the moment:
What determines success and failure
• Emails get lost, making it impossible to deal with the order
• Excel worksheet huge and difficult to share across the team
In a successful scenario, time is saved for internal employees as they no longer
have to rely on incoming users and can instead use the intranet website to view
and manage incoming orders.
The proposed solution
If the website does not work or if it does not save any time for internal
employees, the project cannot be considered successful.
An browser based intranet application needs to be built with the following
requirements:
• Membership system and a login page for existing users
• Order view, where orders coming in from the order form are shown
• Clicking on the order brings up the order details view
