Introduction
Riordan
Manufacturing, a $46 million dollar earning global plastics manufacturer, is implanting a new customer management system. This system will allow Riordan to consolidate and unify all customer information into one database. The current lack of a unified system creates an enormous issue for the company; it creates the inability to share customer information across the departments or operating entities. There will be a significant amount of change made to implement this new software.
