Accomplishments Past Period:
- Formed team
- Obtained ShopSite software for building merchant catalogs
- Began work to set up test server and install ShopSite software for evaluation
- Began conversations with ClearCommerce as a possible software vendor for
credit card processing (replacing Trintech's PayWare Net who had been our
preferred vendor as of Discovery phase of the project. Since, we have
learned that Trintech's schedule to port the product to Solaris has slipped
indefinitely)
- Began to research RedHat's CCVS as a possible short- and/or long-term
option for credit card processing
- Continued to compare notes with peer institutions about e-commerce
strategies, models, products, and so on
Goals for Coming Period:
- Evaluate ShopSite in-house to determine capabilities, integration issues,
and the like
- Work with Museum Shop, Sloan, and other interested groups to understand
ShopSite's fit with their business needs and, as appropriate, help them to
begin planning and building their storefronts/catalogs
- Become familiar with ClearCommerce's offerings and determine whether/how
to pursue
- Evaluate RedHat's CCVS offering and determine whether/how to pursue
- Continue to evaluate CyberCash Cash Register service as a short-term
option, understand integration issues with ShopSite and other systems
Issues:
- None
Additional Comments:
- Integration with SAP is a major deliverable of this project, but it is
not the immediate focus of our work. Even though it's further down the
road, we need to keep this aspect in mind as we work with the various
software packages and delve into the details of the system design.
