- Steeley Associates versus Concord Falls Steeley Associates, Inc., a property development firm, purchased an old house near the town square in Concord Falls, where State University is located. The old house was built in the mid-1800s, and Steeley Associates restored it. For almost a decade, Steeley has leased it to the university for academic office space. The house is located on a wide lawn and has become a town landmark. However, in 2008, the lease with the university expired, and Steeley Associates decided to build high-density student apartments on the site, using all the open space. The community was outraged and objected to the town council. The legal counsel for the town spoke with a representative from Steeley and hinted that if Steeley requested a permit, the town would probably reject it. Steeley had reviewed the town building code and felt confident that its plan was within the guidelines, but that did not necessarily mean that it could win a lawsuit against the…arrow_forwardSpringBreaks ‘R’ Us (SBRU) is an online travel service that books spring break trips for college students for decades but changes in technology have transformed the travel business in recent years.

- Facebook Data Move Project Facebook deals with various kinds of risks on a regular basis, and the risk of service interruption is high on the list. About five years ago, Facebook was involved in a multimillion-dollar effort to move a terabyte of data from a near-capacity data center to a then new higher-capacity data warehouse. The project was scheduled to be completed in 100 days with no provision for any schedule delays. In Facebook terms, a terabyte is equivalent to 250 billion “Likes” on Facebook. The project had two phases, i.e., building and outfitting the new data warehouse, and then moving data to the warehouse. The new data warehouse was designed so the servers could handle four times as much data as the current servers, and the processors and software were upgraded as well. As a result, the new data warehouse could hold eight times more data than the current data center, and it could also move and manage data more efficiently. To reduce the risks the project team took a…arrow_forwardRead the following Case Study Leah Jones is the IT manager at Rock Solid Outfitters, a medium-sized supplier of outdoor climbing and camping gear.
