Case Study 2: Implementation Strategies
Your proposed information system is still a contender. The executives, however, are asking whether it is too limited to prevent the shadow IT projects that continue to take place throughout the organization. They believe that you have considered what the organization does now, but how will your system adapt to new products and processes? Read IQMS (2015) for a concrete example of what they mean.
Youll have to quell their fears, so its time for another memo.
Please focus on these points:
Use the template below but incorporate the following questions.
1. Identify any significant changes that your organization might reasonably make in its product offerings in the next 3 years. Explain the competitive benefits of this change.
2. Explain how your information system addresses or can adapt to the introduction of these new product offerings.
3. Give one reason why capabilities for the new product offerings should or should not be incorporated in the initial information system design. Justify your reason.
This memo should be 35 pages long. Reference: IQMS. (2015). Quick Response Manufacturing Yields Lower Inventories & Improves cash flow. Retrieved from https://www.iqms.com/files/case-studies/quick-response-manufacturing.pdf.
