E-Tendering System APEX Communications Sdn. Bhd.

The commercial exploitation of the Web is in its infancy. However, a growing number of
organizations are beginning to analyze ways of doing business over the Web. Intranets can be
used for a range of purposes. One of the main uses is as document management system for
the organization.
The APEX Communications IT Division e-Tendering System represents the uses of an
intranet as stated above. The objective of the e-Tendering System is mainly to change the
process of preparing tender documents manually (paper-based) into an automated process
(online).
It has been identified that the conventional process of preparing tender documents has
resulted in the occurrence of someproblems such as the tender preparation process becomes
very tedious, the usage of too much paper and files, the use of many employees for a
particular tender preparation and also it takes up too much time to finish preparing the tender
documents.
As a result of the development of this project, the E-Tendering System has been successfully
produced with all the functions working properly, thus enabling users to automate their
conventional way of preparing tender documents. System users are now able to upload and
download tender documents, making the process of tender preparation faster and more
organized.
With the development of the e-Tendering System using a Spiral Design methodology, all the
problems identified will be diminished in the most efficient and effective manner.
