Background and Environmental Analysis
Throughout this section, a comprehensive background and environmental analysis is provided as well as an in-depth analysis of Trusty Carpets' operational landscape. To organize this analysis, a roadmap of contexts will be used, namely a summary of the company's history and a detailed evaluation of its environment. Trusty Carpets' vision, strategy, and objectives will be discussed along with its business processes as part of the environmental analysis. Additionally, the analysis will consider the competitive products and processes of our competitors, technological advances, commercial and operational trends causing change, and relevant statutory and legislative changes. By evaluating these
critical factors, we will be able to gain a better understanding of Trusty Carpets' current situation and identify opportunities for growth and improvement.
A. Background
Trusty Carpets has been in the carpet business for the last 20 years and has increased their footprint in the carpet industry. The business recently expanded with the acquisition of Metro Carpets and a merger with a local carpet installer. Due to growth in the area, housing development, expanded warehouse space, and exposure to
new communities, Trusty Carpets acknowledges the need to streamline the business with innovative technology. With new opportunities for carpet sales, Trusty Carpets intends to increase profitability and continue delivering quality products. The proposed technology and processes will restructure Trusty Carpets’ antiquated business model by providing solutions to inventory management, billing, accounting, and digital marketing within one platform. Trusty Carpets has hired The Destroyers, a
consulting team, to ensure a successful and smooth transition to a new enterprise system. This team will implement a service-wide solution that provides effective and efficient solutions to business problems, meets regulatory and federal requirements, increases revenue streams, and continues to provide customers with the service they expect from their trusted local carpet provider.

With this adjustment, Trusty Carpets’ vision is to become the community's premier carpet sales and installation company, providing top-quality service and environmentally friendly products.

Strategy
Besides using the local newspaper and showrooms as advertisements, Trusty Carpets must get their product out to the public. Trusty Carpets’ adoption of 1
