Project Requirements for Management Consultancy Services (MCS) group. (Now called PwC Consulting).
Over the last 3 years a team of PwC developers have created a Lotus Notes 4.5 client based Knowledge Management application for their E-Business initiative called EBKS.
As lead technical consultant my responsibilities were to:
1.) Design the application architecture of a new web enabled application. Provide skills transfer training to PwC. Manage a team of two independent consultants and two PwC resources, report monthly to steering committee, provide weekly status reports. Establish an application development methodology for this project.
2.) Enhance the Notes 4.5 application with shopping basket functionality, for internal purchase of documents and Domain Search functionality (involving extensive Lotus Script).
3.) Port the whole application to a Domino 5.02 server for access from web clients. This involved managing graphics artist (including Macromedia FLASH 4), for interactive front-end, Lotus Script programmers for back-end e-Commerce agents. Writing code in JavaScript for client side functionality. Enabling Java applets for views, rich-text fields and making performance analysis of this compared to HTML/JavaScript variants of the same.
4.) Provide the right performance scale for the application. This was an international project. The application was potentially used by 80,000 of PwC 160,000 employees. We had 50,000 active users and 20 full time document administrators. I was working in Miami/Tampa for Management Consultancy Services based in London, with Project teams in Dallas and New York.
Additionally I linked the application to the London Business School (extranet), and rest the of PwC intranet and made Notes 4.55 and 5.02 interoperability testing. I also provided a demonstration of XML capabilities of this application, by enhancing a view with XML tags.
The project deliverables were budgeted at 1000 hours and were completed in 770 hours.
