    rr communications

    In the mini-case Building Shared Services at PR Communications Vice President of IT, Vince Patton, is faced with the task of creating a single customer service center for the company. The case starts off with Vince firing the four divisional CIO’s, stating that “We don’t need any of you anymore. I’m creating one enterprise IT organization, and there’s no room for any of you.” (McKeen, p 127). Ross Roman, founder of PR Communications, then gives Vince the opportunity to completely turn around the IT department and has given full support to any of Vinces projects. This puts a lot of pressure and responsibility on Vince to complete this difficult task.…

    Caroline Weese Case Summary

    In the case, Caroline Weese, the CIO of North American Financial, was in a bind with the head executives and it was her time to present to them her justification of the IT budget. The executives didn’t see the value in the IT investments after pouring millions of dollars into it, and was looking to Caroline to answer the problem. Caroline had great IT management that followed every standard that ensured IT processes were efficient, cost effective, and on par with industry regulations, but had no way to prove to the executives the rate of return on the investments. She admitted that it was IT’s responsibility to for the quality of work, its timely delivery, and its cost, but they are not responsible for monitoring which projects will deliver the most business value. She told the executives that they are going to have to work together to ensure that the business is investing in the right projects and delivering benefits. This resulted in the agreement on an IT…

    What Went Wrong at Cisco in 2001

    What Went Wrong at Cisco in 2001

    – Scott Berinato, CIO August 01, 2001 There’s Cisco Before and Cisco After, and the two crossed paths, awkwardly, this past April. Cisco Before was CFO Larry Carter writing in April’s Harvard Business Review about the San Jose, Calif.-based company’s "virtual close" software. "We can literally close our books within hours," Carter boasted in the article. "More important, the decision makers who need to achieve sales targets, manage expenses and make daily tactical operating decisions now have real-time access to detailed operating data." Cisco’s decision makers possessed a godlike ability to peer into every nook and cranny of the business, 24/7, which Carter says allowed the company to forecast a slowdown in Japan’s economy and garner half of the switching market there. Cisco After was CEO John Chambers, admitting to The Economist that same month, "We never built models to anticipate something of this magnitude." That something was what is now inelegantly referred to as the recent economic downturn. It created a major earnings surprise for the manufacturer of switches and routers?the company’s first negative quarter in more than a decade. In the third fiscal quarter of 2001, sales plunged 30 percent. Chambers wrote off a mountain of inventory $2.2 billion high, and 8,500 people were laid off. On April 6, Cisco’s stock sunk to $13.63. Thirteen months earlier, it had been $82. Chambers surveyed the wreckage and compared it to an unforeseeable natural disaster. In his mind, the economy?not his company’s software nor its management?was clearly to blame. But other networking companies, with far less sophisticated tools started downgrading their forecasts months earlier. They saw the downturn coming. Cisco did not. Other companies cut back on inventory. Cisco did not. Other companies saw demand declining.…

    Nibco's Big Bang

    In 1994, after a significant strategic planning effort took place, NIBCO Inc., decided to implement a plan to, “Go Live” with a new SAP program. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012) The reasons behind NIBCO’s decision to implement and ERP System are those that are familiar to other companies who have made the same decision. One of the key conclusions from the strategic planning that led to the ERP implementation was that the organization could not prosper with its current information systems. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012) They systems that they were currently using had evolved into a patchwork of legacy systems and reporting tools that could not talk to each other. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012) The lack of systems communications were due to the fact that over the years, NIBCO had a manufacturing package that ran on Hewlett Packard and an accounting system that ran on IBM and a distribution package that was repackaged to run on IBM. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012)The differences in the systems over the years led to lack of digital communication between the systems. Not only were the systems not communicating with each other, there was also concerns about being able to grow the company and become more global without an integrated information capability. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012) Another reason why NIBCO decided to implement a SAP system was because the systems development staff spent most of their time building custom interfaces between the systems, trying to resolve the disconnects between them. The information systems people were not particularly happy a lot because the systems would blow up on regular bases due to the ad hoc changes that were often made. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012) Even though there were several different legitimate reasons for NIBCO to implement a SAP system,…

    Powerit Case Study

    In order to survive in this competitive business world, every business must produce or provide not only a better product or service, they must also provide better customer service, minimize their production costs and overhead costs, have a more efficient management system, a highly reliable infrastructure…the list is endless. Many of these can be achieved through a customized enterprise resource planning system (ERP). ERPs serve as “one comprehensive database to house all of [the company’s] corporate information” so that “when you enter new information in one place, the system automatically updates related information.” However, if these systems are not implemented correctly with the necessary change in management of people and technology it can result in failure…..…
