Project Automation System (PAS)
The Project Automation System (PAS)
developed using the Instant. NET framework is
a tool to estimate the cost that will be incurred
on new project development .It can be used as
an analysis tool since costs actually incurred
can be compared and the historical data captured
by the system can be used to improve estimations
and forecasts.
This has been designed using the layered architecture
provided by the Instant .Net framework. This kind
of architecture not only made deployment of the
PAS faster at client locations but also facilitated
quick and painless modifications.
The synchronization feature built into the system
enables users to store and retrieve data on their
individual workstations without the need to connect
to a remote central database. Any new additions
or changes made to the data are made available
to them and to the central database on synchronization.
This eliminates the need for server round trips
and also does not unnecessarily burden users with
data that they would not need.
The components of the application like menus,
screens, forms, user controls, queries, data explorers,
button groups, navigation controls etc have been
created using the Instant .Net framework classes
while manual code writing has been kept to a minimum.
This has reduced development time by one-third,
saving valuable man-hours and leading to cost
reduction.
Indicative list of reports available
- Project costing on a yearly or monthly basis
- Summary of man-hours spent on each project
- Analysis of time taken on development of
each module
- Analysis of time spent on development of
individual objects and
- List of projects with their module details
- List of project members with details of their
assigned roles
