DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS
PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The current physical infrastructure is sufficient to support the implementation of these solutions
at least into phase III. At this time, no additional equipment needs to be purchased. Vision
Systems does recommend doubling the Server RAM, and upgrading the RAM on any
workstation to 128 MB (especially if Win98 is the OS) in order to improve system performance.
Some phone wire routing may be necessary, as well. It is highly recommended that ABC
Company begin to use its DSL ISP for the routing of email, and that the AOL email be phased
out. GoldMine does not support AOL, and as such, email correspondence, an increasingly used
form of communication, will not be stored in GoldMine's history, and users are required to use
an unnecessary application to email contacts.
Incremental database backups should be conducted daily. ABC Company's current backup
resources should be sufficient.
CONTACT DATABASE
Vision Systems has determined that GoldMine will be more than adequate for ABC Company,
due to its scalability, the availability of 3
rd
party applications, the workgroup functionality
required by ABC Company, the requirement to support a remote site, and current user familiarity
with GoldMine.
Vision Systems recommends that ABC Company upgrade to GoldMine version 5.0 for the
following reasons.
♦ Version 5.0 is much more user friendly and easier to learn. This is important, as
several "uninitiated" employees will need to adopt the system.
♦ Version 5.0 allows for better customization that version 4.0
♦ GoldMine Software Corporation will eventually phase out version 4.0, and
incremental updates will be less available.
♦ GSC will produce many free incremental upgrades to version 5.0
♦ If necessary in the future, an easier migration path exists to GoldMine Service &
Support
♦ Version 5.0 has many new and powerful features, such as the literature fulfillment
center, and email rules that would prove to be valuable tools for sales and customer
support.
Vision Systems recommends an initial license count of 8. This will allow for 8 simultaneous
users (including the remote sales location). This would require the upgrade of the current 5 user
license, and the purchase of 3 additional licenses through Vision Systems.
SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATION
Vision Systems recommends that one ABC Company representative receive at least an
intermediate level of training. This Administrator will be able to solve many simple issues in-
house. The Administrator will also be trained in concepts relating to data back-up.
