Background
You are a systems analyst contracted by Earth Friendly Babies, a mail-order company that sells earth friendly baby products. You and your consulting firm have recently completed development of a new system for managing orders and inventory for Earth Friendly Babies. System architecture already has been decided, and you are ready to embark upon installation, evaluation, and training for the new system.
Earth Friendly Babies has grown from an at-home business set up by a stay-at-home mom to a small mail-order company that sends out catalogs to 10 states, employs 5 people in addition to the business owner, and has office and warehouse space in an office park designed to encourage small businesses. The business has relied upon manual data collection methods for taking orders, billing, and managing inventory. The new IS will provide the support necessary for the company to expand to all 50 states with their mail-order campaign. None of the employees has worked with an IS system…
Assume you're a systems analyst for a consulting firm, and the CEO of a regional bank has requested you to help. Loan officers were among the employees who were let go as part of an effort to keep the bank profitable. Due to the restricted number of loan officers who may examine and approve or reject loans, the bank has had persistent issues with backlogged loan requests. The bank's CEO is looking for ways to speed up the approval process without adding more loan officers, and he's hired your firm to come up with ideas. What kind of system would you suggest to the bank?
K. Choi, chief financial officer for Petrie Electronics, came early to the quarterly IS Steering Committee meeting. Choi, who was the chair of the committee, took his seat at the head of the big table in the corporate conference room. He opened the cover on his tablet PC and looked at the agenda for the day’s meeting. There were only a few proposed systems projects to consider today. He was familiar with the details of most of them. He briefly looked over the paperwork for each request. He didn’t really think there was anything too controversial to be considered today. Most of the requests were pretty routine and involved upgrades to existing systems. The one totally new system being proposed for development was a customer loyalty system, referred to internally as “No Customer Escapes.”
Choi chuckled at the name as he read through the proposal documents. “This is something we have needed for some time,” he thought.
After about 15 minutes, his administrative assistant, Julie, came in.…

- Your company has just acquired a smaller company that sells office automation software. The smaller company's spreadsheet software has a large market share, with many satisfied users (the major reason for the acquisition was that these existing users are potential customers for your company's other products). Unfortunately, no documentation for the spreadsheet software can be found, and the source code is not commented. How would you go about maintaining this software to keep the customers happy?arrow_forwardAn IT consulting business that offers services to organizations that wish to set up e-commerce operations employs you as a systems analyst. A new branch devoted to supply chain management was created by ABC after it bought two smaller enterprises in the previous 18 months. Top management was not pleased with the integration costs or the timeframe for ABC's internal systems. You've decided to propose an ERP strategy in order to prevent future issues, and you'll submit your ideas at the next staff meeting. The management style at ABC is one that is more relaxed and adaptable than more formal approaches. Just how can ERP convert your current team into believers?arrow_forwardAnalyze and solve case study. Jimmy works in an organization as an assistant manager in the IT department and recently promoted to the designation of senior manager. Mark, Jimmy’s department head calls him to his office. Mark shares with Jimmy that the CEO has received a letter from one of the employees of the IT department. The CEO has kept the name confidential. The letter states that software installed recently does not perform well as expected and the department has not achieved the desired results. Jimmy is aware of this problem by the software installed and reported to his Department Head, Mark several times before. Mark is in favor of that software and the only supporter and has been providing positive feedback to the CEO about its performance. Mark asks Jimmy to draft a reply to the letter that should support the system. It should say that the system is performing well with the desired results. Jimmy is confused and mentally disturbed. He wants to give the true facts to the…arrow_forward

How will you unsure that the most important issue for your laboratory-flexibility is addressed in the new system.arrow_forwardEach proposed change to the framework should include the challenges that may arise during implementation and the steps that will be taken to overcome them. This has to be finished before moving on to talk about solutions to the problems you've identified.
