jointed
October 24 - 30 2005 CES/AEA Conference 17
Taking AIM:
What did we do right?User support was put at the top
Faculty and staff were at the table together
We began with outputs needed and worked backwards
After rollout, the programmer received only technical calls
October 24 - 30 2005 CES/AEA Conference 18
Taking AIM:
What did we do wrong?AIMS was rolled out in 80 days with no pilot testing
The DEMO web was a late arrival
Checkboxes would have eased benchmark selection
User support team was hired after rollout, not before
October 24 - 30 2005 CES/AEA Conference 19
Taking AIM:
Special Features Faculty are e-mailed each month with entry reminders
When events are planned, appointments post to thefaculty member’s GroupWise calendar
Development team access DEMO directly from AIMS
Reports are dynamically generated for independentretrieval of data

Taking AIM:
Growing Pains•Initial home was a production server holding many
other web applications
•The AIMS monthly entry deadline sent traffic soaring
•Constant changes to AIMS the first year affected thestability of the production server
•A dedicated server was purchased in August 2003
October 24 - 30 2005 CES/AEA Conference 21
Taking AIM:
AIMS required behavioral changeThe basic computer skills of faculty were overestimated
[Prior to AIMS, some agents had secretaries print their e-mails and send all responses]
Secretaries previously entered data for agents
Reporting was required at least monthly
