NETWORK-BASED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A network-based information technology solution development and management system comprising:
- a customer computer that consults a project mentor about a project for developing information technology solutions, checks information on analysts who can participate in the project and contracts with a specific analyst, provides various requirements for the development of solutions to the analyst such that the analyst plans and develops the solutions, and deposits development funds to a financial institution in stages until the solutions are completely developed;
an analyst computer that controls a process of making a plan to develop a specific information technology solution required by a customer, a process of analyzing requirements, a process of placing an order for each unit program, a delivery process, a process of asking to pay development costs, a process of performing an integrated test, and a process of delivering a job completion sheet and a product, and provides the customer computer with information on the solutions being currently developed at the request of the customer computer;
a developer computer that checks information on various unit programs required to develop the solutions that are planned by the analyst, participates in the development of a desired unit program, and tests and delivers the developed unit program;
a server computer that examines a plurality of analysts and developers who will plan the information technology solutions and develop the unit programs, registers the examined analysts and developers as members, extracts information on the analysts who can participate in the project on the basis of the content of the project registered by the project mentor and provides the extracted information to the customer computer, and integrally controls the input and output of data required for the process of making a plan to develop a specific information technology solution, the process of analyzing requirements, the process of placing an order for each unit program, the process of asking to pay development costs, a process of performing a test on each unit program, the delivery process, a process of performing an integrated test, and the process of delivering a job completion sheet and a product to/from the analyst computer and the developer computer; and
a financial institution computer that receives funds corresponding to a pre-determined number of states in the development of solutions from the customer, and transfers the funds deposited by the customer to the accounts of the analyst and the developer.

Abstract
The invention relates to a network-based information technology solution development and management system and method. In the system and method according to an embodiment of the invention, when a customer requests the development of information technology solutions, a server computer provides information on analysts to a customer computer and allows the customer to contract with a specific analyst. Then, the analyst receives requirements for the development of the solutions from the customer to perform the planning of the solutions, the analysis of the requirements, and the design of the solutions, and then the server computer places an order for each unit program to developers. Subsequently, when the developers who have assigned the unit programs develop the unit programs and deliver the developed unit programs to the server computer, the server computer tests the unit programs to accept or return the unit programs. Then, the server computer provides information the account and payment of the developers having delivered the unit programs to a financial institution computer and allows the financial institution computer to pay development costs to the developers. Subsequently, the server computer performs an integrated test on the unit programs corresponding to each project that are delivered by the developers and delivers the tested unit programs to the customers.
