Early Project Description/thoughts:

Worldwide Sports is a company that sells a variety of sporting goods and memorabilia from its one main physical location, and they have a very basic system for online sales that has many bugs and limited functionality. Recent sales have been slightly below average, including a virtually useless online store, and the company is looking to take a step into the electronic sales realm with a new system to boost sales and expand their region of business. LEMM Solutions is going to be working closely with Worldwide Sports to make that transition a success. The scope of the project states that they would like to have a member login for their system. The users will be able to search the different products, select products to purchase, add items to a ‘shopping cart’, and print their order summary. Worldwide Sports also stated they would like to be able to add or remove products that have varied availability to consumers, as well as a vendors/suppliers/customer database. This system schedule will take 12 months to complete. The budget for this system is $300,000. Including the budgeted cost, the total projected 3 year cost for this system is an expense of $864,000, which also includes 3 years of operating costs. However, if this system can be completed within budget, on time, and meet the user requirements, the benefits of the system add up to $2 million. This gives a net benefit of $1,136,000, which is exactly what Worldwide Sports is in need of.
