stored procedure would parse the file and insert the data into the necessary tables. This
change was made after the initial testing of the application and while it did not have an
impact on the go live date for the entire company to use the application, this piece of the

upload feature pushed the implementation of the entire application from the test
environment into the production environment out a couple days.
Evaluation of whther or not the project met project goals:
The primary goal of this project was to develop a Web-based CRM application
for the sales staff at ARC so that they would be able to manage and act on their sales
leads more efficiently. Since the implementation of the application more than 19,000
sales leads have been entered into the application. The fact that so many leads were
entered into the system shows that the application is being used frequently for the
management of potential customers, and therefore, achieved the goals and expectations of
the project. An additional goal of the application was that it was to be available to the
sales staff regardless of their geographic location. This goal was accomplished due to the
fact that the application was developed as a Web-based application, which allowed for
the sales staff located throughout the United States to access it via the Internet.
