SCHEDULE 1
This Schedule describes Services to be provided by Xxxxx.xxx to Client under
this Professional Services Agreement dated November 8, 1999.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Xxxxx.xxx and the Doheny Eye Medical Group (DEMG) will initiate the rapid
development of eCommerce concepts discussed at the 10/12/99 meeting. The goal of
this project phase is to rapidly define and validate existing concepts. Existing
concepts must be validated and refined and effectively demonstrated to key
internal stakeholders and representatives of key external business audiences.
This must be done rapidly so as to preclude competition from marketing similar
concepts to DEMG business audiences. In addition, the first release must be
compelling enough to make a lasting impression. Hence, the first release of
"XXXX.xxx" must deliver features that provide solid business value to its target
audiences.
The project will consist of five parts:
1. Initial envisioning work sessions will define strategy for achieving these
business goals within project scope.
2. Description of Work: Design, development and hosting of a prototype web
site.
3. Functional Specifications: Detailed document containing prototype site
requirements and functionality.
4. Delivery of Functional Specification Document which details Phase 1.0 of the
web site's content and functionality
5. Delivery and acceptance of the prototype site
PROJECT SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The scope of this initiative is as follows:
1. Perform an onsite "envisioning Session"
- Model current eCommerce concepts
- Define current technology and business entities that the solution must
address
- Define future technology and business entities that the solution must
address
- Create a Functional Specification Release 1
- Detailed site information document which will "blueprint" the
prototype site
2. Rapid development of Phase 1.0 Prototype Internet site
Design, develop and test content, and functionality components
- Based on preliminary analysis, it is anticipated that the
functionality of the prototype site will provide for the following:
1. Security will be set up by type of user (i.e., DEMG
supervisor, DEMG faculty, external referring doctor,
doctor, doctor identified patient) in order to show
presentation layout of site. Security for the prototype
will not restrict data access. Multi-level security
access will be addressed when the application to
interface with DEMG's IDX system is created.
2. Firewall at industry standard
