Feasibility of investment projects through low cost integrative computer application

(Enero - Junio)

Abstract

Institutions which develop projects need to use several computer programs to develop investment projects, as evidenced by the sample of eight institutions surveyed in the city of Riobamba, Ecuador. This situation gives rise to serious drawbacks; for example, doubling of efforts in pre-investment, and low level of reliability in decision making by having information dispersed and disorganized. Due to this inconvenience, a software program called Project Assessor has been developed. It allows the integrated management of information in all phases (market study, technical study, legal administrative study, financial economic study and a final evaluation), as well as project administration. Consequently, the reliability in making investment decisions. The SQL server database was used in its creation, using the cascade model and the Visual Basic programming language. This computer application serves as a base for professionals who specialize in the design and design of projects.
