7 INTRODUCTION Normally if Eric were to want to know the status of a particular staff members computer. He would need to locate the staff member and their computer. This is a troublesome problem and having a central repository for information would greatly improve productivity.

8 PROBLEM STATEMENT The problem being addressed is how can client computers be registered on a large scale with little to no effort?

9 ASSUMPTIONS This build will exist on the internal network only. This is for administrative purposes Those who access this site will be management or technology interns.

10 PROPOSED SOLUTION In order to solve the Training Resource Centers problem, I designed a web application in ASP.NET as well as a SQL database to store client data.

14 CONCLUSIONS I feel as though I have handled this project as best I could considering my changes throughout the semester. Given my new skills in time management and development I feel I could do this again on a larger scale.

15 FUTURE WORK Currently I am working on a RestfulAPI that will communicate warranty information from dell to the website. I am also working on a RFID project that will allow for resource checkout to be fully functional

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge my Manger Eric Poynter for helping to improve my skills as a developer and professional. I would also like to acknowledge my fiancé Rose Hay for helping believing in me regardless of what I do. 16
