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.

The kingdom was peaceful and friendly and its people were honest and carefree. The King, King Victor, was fair and kind and it was reflected in the everyday kingdom life as well. King Victor had 4 sons: Maximus, Duo, Tribus, and Quattor, each possessing a great deal of talent, spirit, beauty and strength.

And then there was Minimus. Minimus, the 5th son, the runt of the litter. Always in last place, weak, ugly and untalented, to say the least. Scorned upon by his brothers, he grew rather meek and quiet. He became ghost in the royal family, always careful
