1.1 Project goals and objectives
The Getta Byte Software project is a mission that is formed with the main goal in mind of
replacing the current manual billing system with an online software-based system that will
enable accurate, easy and fast data entry system. It is worth noting that the existing system has
the capability of helping the company to carry out the duties in daily operations. This is quite
fine, but there are a few challenges that calls for an online system. The first concern is that the
existing system is manual and therefore, time consuming and very inaccurate. A lot of time is
needed in entering the information into the system and the end result is the inconsistency of the
information entered and therefore, putting the company at risk. The solution to this problem is to
come up with an automated system that shall be very fast and produce accurate data. The system
shall be base on online operation which will enhance an easy way of entering the data, conceive
a dynamic update towards the receivables. The system shall have a goal of saving up to 25 % of
the total labor per month since, human resources to operate the billing system shall be reduced.
The extra cost saved by the company shall be used elsewhere and hence, raising the total profits
made by the company each month. The project focuses towards working with a bunch of people
to spread risks in the company. These people shall include the CFO, CEO the billing department
and also customer care services. The success of the project shall be attributed to the fact that the
billing cycles are reduced to more than 30% each month.
As per the project schedule, it is expected that the first piloting shall be done by September
1
st. This shall imply that the development and testing of the software shall be done by 15th
August. This shall give an ample time to facilitate the first piloting study and see if the system is
working correctly and in accordance to the expectations and goals of the project. The final real
