Gen-i-Sys© applications cost less to create leaving resources available for an enterprise to invest in other applications or business priorities. Gen-i-Sys applications are completed faster, designed by the business analyst and not a programmer, easier to maintain, self-documenting, have longer life cycles, don't need to be approval tested, and are immediately deployed on the Internet/intranet.
The following comparison illustrates the difference between a basic custom programmed application and a Gen i Sys defined application.
Application Assumptions:
- Custom programmed application takes 6 months to develop with 1.5 months business analysis, 3 months programming and 1.5 months for testing and deployment
- Annual costs for maintaining an existing application are 20% of initial development costs
- The life span of the application is 50 months
- The company expects to save 15% over the life of the application and accumulated savings pay for the cost of development
- Analyst and programmer time is based on $125/hour
Additional Gen-i-Sys assumptions:
- Gen-i-Sys eliminates use of programmers reducing development time by 50% - the application is deployed after only 3 months
- The application life cycle is increased by 20% - a longer life span of 60 months or 5 years
- The same 15% savings are applied over the life of the application. Actual savings should be higher since Gen i Sys applications reduce the loss of business information lost in the knowledge transfer from the subject matter (SME) expert to the programmer
- The Gen-i-Sys application is immediately deployed on the web
- Maintenance of the application is lower and any updates don't need programming changes, the SME can incorporate any future application modifications
