Prototyping and iterative development is the right approach to the registry system.


End user feedback crucial to a usable / intuitive design.


Cloud hosted very cost effective and scalable.


Based on Skunk Works, we know we can deliver the capabilities that map to
Dean’s overarching requirements in an efficient and professional manner.

We believe the Force.com platform
with Amazon S3 for data storage
represents a strong technology
foundation for Dean’s registry system.


From the skunk works effort, we are
confident we can deliver a professional
web system that can support:



Registry / data entry



Scheduling



Workflow / task management



Data management



Administration



Security



Web service APIs
