IntroductionThe key objective of this project is to come up with a plan for developing Allsports SportsClub Information System (ASCIS) for a Sports Club which currently has most of its operationsdone manually. Such as creation and distribution of it monthly newsletters. With manualsystems, the company has certain challenges that would be overcome with ASCIS. Thesystem would store the date of members, newsletters and advertiser to generate customreports as needed to assist managers in taking decisions. A budget of $60,000 has beenallotted to the project at 6% discounted rate.Page 1

2. Approach to Systems Development 2.1 Existing System of Allsports ClubAllsports Club has sports players as members who like specific sports such as cricket, table tennis,football, athletes or dart. A monthly newsletter is published by the club by taking 10 articles frommembers and 5 advertisements from the newsletter sponsors helping the organization sustain itself.Every month, an editor is chosen from the members to collect and ensure publication of articles. Thecompany is currently acing certain issues with their systems such as:Because of manual operations, the human resource and administrative costs are high in thecompanyWord and Excel applications are used by the president of the club for managing the data ofmembers, newsletters and advertisers which is cumbersomeKeeping track of the newsletter data with manual entries is challenging and often causesdelays in deliveries of the newsletters to the club members causing dissatisfaction in themwith newsletter subscription service of the company.To overcome these difficulties, an ASCIS system is proposed.2.2 Selected Approach for New System developmentWaterfall development methodology has been chosen for the development of ASCIS becauseof several reasons such asThe methodology is simple to understand and adopt for the developmentThe methodology is most suitable for projects where the requirements are very clearand are not going to see any major change during the project executionThe methodology is fast for development when requirements are very clear from thebeginning which is the case with the current project.The method provides a sequential manner of development which is easy to implement and thesequence of development in this case would be member database, newsletter module,advertisement module and reporting system. The waterfall methodology is very cost effective as it has clear requirements and thus, clearsresource definition at the starting of the project as well as uses the big bang approach todevelopment.The methodology builds a very detailed design which leaves no scope for errors in thedevelopment3.

The members of the club would be registered by the club presidentsthrough the use of a registration form provided in the system. The president wouldenter the details of the members after they join the club into this system such thatthe data connects to the member database and gets stored there.Member DatabaseThis database would have the membership details and member contactdetails including name, address, contact number, email IS and sports played.Newsletters DatabaseThis database would have the newsletter details and article details includingpublication date (identifier), published titles, submitted files, advertisementsubjects (identifier) and editor name.Advertisers DatabaseThis database would have the information about the ads and advertiserincluding ad title, address of ad person, contact name, and contact details.ReportingBusiness analysis reports would be generated by the system including:Members list with the sportPublished articles listsList of ads publishedList of editors Club members list of NamesClub members list of Names and emails (Satzinger, Jackson& Burd, 2010).3.2 Non Functional RequirementsASCIS also has some non-functional requirements such as (Satzinger, Jackson &Burd, 2010):Fast data retrieval Easy and fast storage Easy data updating User friendly user interfaceData Backup functionalityAccuracy of reportsSystem security to prevent unauthorized accessPage 3

4. Project Cost Benefit AnalysisThe cost benefit analysis of the ASCIS development project is given in this section. The project takesan initial one time investment of $60,000 and incurs are monthly cost of $1200 for maintenance.Thus the yearly recurring expenses would be $14,400. The discount rate assumed is 6%. Whencalculating investment for the next 5 years at this rate, it is found that the company would invest$420,000 would get $444,150 as earning in the same time. The net profit or the return on thisinvestment would be $1456Page 4
