Should we Upgrade our Point of Sale System.

Dear Mr. Peterson, I was one of the managers present at the Zara meeting regarding their POS system upgrade. Zara’s business model relies customer’s satisfaction and getting products in customer’s hands as quickly as possible A sales associate has very administrative duties at this point which allows for them to interact with customers and determine which items must be ordered based on customer preference. . The Store associate has a PDA on hand that allows for them to  collect data from the customer and even place an order to the central warehouse to ensure that the new product will be on the shelves within 2 weeks. The goal is to ensure that the customer is engaged, and buys something during any one of their 17 visits to the store. My understanding of our current POS system is that it is DOS based and that we use dial up modems during the information backup procedures.

Blog 8: Why IT Fumbles

Dear Mr. Peterson, I believe that Montclair State should heavily invest in improving their IT infrastructure. This decision was made after I heard the consultants from Tuesday.

If this assumption proves true, then having a data analysist would greatly improve the system’s efficiency. My second improvement would be to better quantify how this data would be collected in the first place. Would it be through observation of s...

What Should Junk Van Do

Hello Mr. Peterson, I recently returned from Montreal from the meeting with Junk Van and their Information Technology consultants. The issue Junk Van was facing was regarding the need to expand their IT capabilities in order to expand their operations further. Currently they are experiencing daily processing errors such as inaccurate data, lost emails and manual calculation errors. The solution the consultants suggested was to use software as a service to provide them with the IT software required to function. Software as a service is as the name suggests software being treated as a service rather than a product. We will talk about the issues with that concept later in the memo, but for now one should focus on the positives Software as a Service.  In this case, one can assume that the software in question would be similar to the microsoft office suite and google docs/drive.  In this case one can view my previous post regarding which one to use between Microsoft and Google her...
