Project Name: Online Credit Card Processing - ClearCommerce
Project Leader: Lorraine Rappaport
Report Date: 7.6.2001
Project URL: http://web.mit.edu/is/delivery/ccard
Accomplishments Past Period:
- Installed ClearCommerce 4.1 on test server. Created and evaluated several
test stores. The application is more mature than the previous version.
- Made significant progress with First Data on leased line installation.
First
Data's turnaround time is approximately 8 weeks, which targets installation
for
late August. After the leased line is installed, we will be able to complete
installation and testing of the ClearCommerce software on the real server.
- Continued conversations with Career Fair committee and sponsors on planning
for this fall's event. Began work to set up ShopSite store, which this and
other career fairs will be able to utilize under Career Services' sponsorship.
- Continued conversations with DOST and ASST to plan for service.
- Continued conversations with Alumni Association for piloting ClearCommerce.
- Reviewed proposals from SevenSpace and Exodus. Decided against Exodus.
Continued conversations about SevenSpace vs. internal options.
- Learned that OpenMarket has sold the ShopSite product line back to its
original development team. The company is once again known as ShopSite, Inc.
So far, we have noticed no impact on service and support levels. In fact,
recent interactions with ShopSite have been very good.
- Learned that the Museum Shop online catalog has closed (as has the physical
store). Our first dot-bomb! :-( The Museum has arranged with The Coop to
sell a limited number of their products on The Coop's web site.
Goals for Next Period:
- Work with Career Fair committee to build site for this fall's event using
ShopSite and CyberCash. Work with them and the Fair's sponsors to make sure
the appropriate guidelines are followed.
- Finalize documentation of SevenSpace recommendation.
- Gear up for August installation of leased line, ClearCommerce server and
application on production system
- Update documentation to reflect ShopSite organizational changes,
ClearCommerce 4.1 differences, and other miscellaneous changes and
improvements.
Issues:
- Nothing new
