3.2 Supplementary Requirements:
 Have hours of operation that are 24 x 7 - Because system can be an automated

process, so it can stay open for 24 hours a day. If the base is now the entire world,
staying open 24 hours a day becomes critical. System is required to be available
24X7 so UPS support must be on server site for at least 8 hours in case of power
failure. System will remain inaccessible to users at 2:00 to 4:00 am for backup
and maintenance purpose.
 Reduce the cost of a sales transaction - To the extent that one can automate the
sales process through this system, one can start to reduce the cost of that sales
transaction. This is particularly true of mundane sales transactions where the
customer knows what they want.
 Make the existing Web site more dynamic in nature - Many early Web
implementations consisted of static HTML pages. This becomes very difficult to
manage if the number of pages gets too large. An effective system should be
largely dynamic taking advantage of technology that automates this process rather
than relying on manual processes. Application should serve dynamic user based
customized web pages to its clients from server.
 Tie the existing Web site into existing enterprise systems – Any existing Web
site that relies on the manual duplication of data from another system is one that
can be improved. Most of the business data in the world today exists in enterprise
servers that can be connected to the Web servers to make this process far more
effective.
 Provide good performance and the ability to scale the server – The Web
Application Server should provide good performance and the ability to manage
performance with techniques, such as support for caching, clustering, and load
balancing.

 Providing session management capability - Web application developers should

not spend valuable time worrying about how to maintain sessions within the
application. The Web Application Server should provide these services.
