CIS Management Information Systems project

CIS Management Information Systems project

· You will assume you own a (BASEBALL SHOP) small business that needs an influx of technology to grow.

· For example: assume you own a small (baseball shop) flower shop.

· This flower shop is still stuck in the 1980s. Assume it is not technology driven.

· Ask yourself some of the following questions and answer them in the first part of your paper.

· How do customers currently contact you with questions?

· How do customers contact you to place orders?

· How are orders documented?

· How are orders tracked?

· How do you know an order is ready?

· How are customers notified their order is ready?

· How do customers get their orders?

· How do you know how much inventory you have?

· What process do you use to order more inventory?

· Ask yourself the following questions and answer them in the next section.

· Can technology help solve any of these issues?

· What technologies would you use to solve the issues?

· How would these technologies work together? Answer this in the next section.

· How would you tie these together?

· What have you learned in any of the case studies we have done that might apply?

· When you are done with this section I should be able to see a logical system in place that improves the flower shop's processes.

· End with a conclusion section.

· Sum up what you did

· Your PowerPoint will summarize all that you accomplished for the business.

· Also, please do not take your small town flower shop from a one-person operation and try and turn it into 1-800-Flowers.

· This isn't realistic.

· Pick simple, proven technologies and describe how they will work together to improve the operation.

· For example: do not hire out a 24-hour a-day call center to take orders 365 days a year around the world....

Some of you will ask, "Can I choose a different kind of business?" Yes, you can. However, it must fit the same type of parameters.
