Overview
The Oracle/CTO Enhancements Project is comprised of several functionality
enhancements aimed at increasing the sales of VAIO CTOs (configured to order laptops and desktops) on the Sony Style web site.
Business Objective The new and improved enhancements will consist of the following
elements:
Ability to sell initial refusals and returns of A-Stock CTO product as a fixed SKU.
Ability to sell B-Stock CTO products as a fixed SKU. Ability to sell B-Stock fixed SKU products using original SKU name. Improve current ATP process to minimize the overselling of products,
particularly products with low inventory levels such as initial refusals. Modify e-Solutions ATP to include pre-configured PC’s both A and B
stock along with the FET status. Dynamic end of life control for CTO products. Provide enhanced order status visibility to the customer.
Opportunity Statement
Current functionality in reference to B Stock and A Stock CTO sales is limited. In order to
enhance and increase functionality three business groups, e-Solutions, ITPD, and
ISSA must be utilized.
Critical Assumption and Constraints Utilization of current infrastructure is essential to
performance. Two additional CPUs to be purchased in order to
support additional estimated traffic. Personal Resources Key to Development &
Execution Nine employees Two managers – one tech, one project manager One QA team External resource access if necessary
Analysis of Option and Recommendation Economically, the CTO/Oracle Enhancement Project will
significantly increase overall sales and traffic generation.
Operationally possible through thorough coordination between e-Solutions, ITPD, and ISSA departments and resources including a full time technical project manager.
Technology and in house resources exist to see this project successfully to completion.
Upper management has determined the project to be economically, technically, and operationally sound and given the go ahead to develop.
Preliminary Project Requirements Current infrastructure contains the following three layers and can
support 3900 orders per day. This infrastructure will be utilized to support expanded functionality proposed in this project:
6 Web Servers (each having 2 CPU’s) 3 Application Servers (each having 8 CPU’s) 2 Database Servers
Two additional CPUs will be needed in order to accommodate additional traffic during peak periods.
A total of nine employees, two managers, and one QA team, are tasks with action items during the project duration.
Additional support required from ISSA and ITPD is available as deemed necessary.
Budget Estimate and Financial Analysis Budget EstimateEstimated salary cost for use of employee resources is
$98,400. Two additional CPUs at a cost of $100,000 will be needed in order to accommodate additional traffic during peak periods.
Financial AnalysisApproximately $40,000 increase in revenue per day
during peak season of September through December. Approximately $20,000 increase in revenue per day during off peak times, January to August.
Schedule Estimate
The project is estimated to take 1,192 hours and 58 days.
Project kick-off April 29, 2003 Project completion July 14, 2003
Potential Risks Risk Identification
During the peak season, if the load reaches beyond the threshold limits, the entire system may reach full capacity and may be rendered unusable for that time period.
Given the number of people and groups necessary for the success of this project, communication and effective planning will be key to overall success.
Risk Planning and Control Two additional CPUs will be needed in order to
accommodate additional traffic during peak periods. Communication management strategy will be assessed
weekly to ensure all parties are properly communicating and informed of project status.
