Application development: Having a real-time electronic interface with wholesalers created competitive advantages such as reducing cost.

Customers must use the internet to fill out an online form to address their complaints or service needs. These forms are processed by employees in your department. Currently the turnaround time on any given form is between four to eight hours. This creates a number of other customer complaints. Project Call Center is designed to reduce this turnaround time by 75% by creating and staffing a call center in Tampa. Building acquisition, building renovations, building fit out, IT system upgrades, and hiring and training of staff are estimated to cost $8.5 million dollars. This $8.5 million dollars can be paid evenly in any two quarters in the next year. In addition, seven new employees will need to be hired at $40,000 burdened labor costs per year to staff the call center. Management of this project could easily be done with the current in-house staff. Most of the work of this project would be outsourced and will have minimal impact on day-to-operations.

You have been hired by a medium size (approximately 200 employees) widget manufacturing company to do a complete evaluation of their computer needs and make recommendations to them about an information system to support their business. Currently several of their support departments are using manual processes and they wish to automate their accounting and human resources business processes. They also want to harness the power of the Internet in their business.

The selection of a new or add-on program is contingent on budgetary requirements. How much money would have to be laid out for training of staff or does the knowledge already exist in the IT department. BAL is a small company with 400 employees. The budget that would be required to purchase a new software package could seriously outweigh the need.

Something many readers should keep in mind is that Kevin Keller is not a superhero. He is a part of a family comic that showcases the struggles, entertainment, and life of a high school teenager. Many readers can assume, that this character could probably cause some scandal with families. Those families feeling as though letting their young ones read and be exposed to such material could corrupt the minds of their children. What is interesting is Kevin Keller is a wonderful portrayal of all the positiveness in a queer guy. He has no moral issues, does not abuse any kind of substances, and does not sexualize himself to fit the stereotype of the queer community being ‘too sexual’. Readers can assume this is why Kevin is still in the Archie comics

This section describes the cash inflow and cash outflow, NPV analysis, rate of return, and the payback period. The four different investment analysis methods listed here help to show exactly what sort of financial information we are expecting to see over the first year of business.

Simplifying the sales process along with exceeding customer expectations was the goal (O’Brien & Marakas, 2011). In order to accomplish that, identification of the exact data needed was the first step. By merging the various modules for customer management, would allow for instant information, such as inventory status, history of sales for a particular customer and open orders, that the salesperson could access while face to face with the customer. Making the system low data input increased the productivity and strengthened the customer bond. Consequently, the sales team realized a

Selfish is defined as looking after one’s own desires, concerned with your own interests, needs and wishes while ignoring those of others (Encarta Dictionary).

The biggest challenge Twila Day faced is which software modules should be chosen. There are three options. One option is to purchase the minimum number of licenses and software components. This option would provide a good start, but SYSCO would probably need to buy more licenses at a higher price within six months. The second option is to provide broader access to the business intelligence information throughout SYSCO. This option would cover SYSCO for the next 9–12 months, but the company would probably need to license additional software in about a year. The third option was to take advantage of the volume discount that Business Objects would provide if SYSCO licensed all of the software now that it planned to use in the next two years. The first option’s total charge is 2,535,880 dollars, the second option’s charge is 3,074,980 dollars and the third option’s charge is 3,401,020 dollars. How to choose the software module is a big challenge for Twila Day. The first one cost least in the beginning but may cost more subsequently. The third one cost most at the beginning and it provide a discount and no more charge later on but buying too much license may be a waste of money. So the most important thing Day should pay attendance to be to predict how many licenses the company will use in the future. The best way for Day to solve this problem is survey what demand the

Baxter Manufacturing Company (BMC) is in the business of deep-drawn stampings and have been able to provide a quality products at high efficiency. However, over the years the industry has been changing especially when it involves the impact computer networks and software have been having. Even though they have tried to keep up, some implementation of the new technologies did not go to plan. The customer service side information databases and EDI was faltering.

This recommendation will be comparatively cheaper as this application is already being used by the finance team and the similar application needs to be built up for the Insurance and other departments. The major funding should be contributed by the insurance and sales teams to complete this project. Minor changes may be required in the existing finance application as it has to feed the data to the sales and marketing team.

We also know that at a cost of capital of 8% we accept the project because the net present value is positive:

Question 1: PROJECT SABLE Use a 30% per year discount rate to evaluate Project Sable, which has two phases. You may invest in the first, in both or in neither. You may not invest in the second phase without investing in the first.  Phase 1 requires an investment of $100. One year later the project delivers on the average $120.  At that time, after the phase 1 payout has been received, you may invest an additional $100 for phase 2. One year later, phase 2 pays out on the average $140. However, phase 2`s payout can go up or down by 20%. a. How much would Project Sable be worth if it offered only the phase 1 opportunity? b.
