1. When Supervalu attained multiple banners and decided to not only incorporate them all under the main ‘Supervalu’ name but also keep them running on the same course that they previously were they encountered the problem of widely disparate information systems. These resulted in a lack of available data exchanges between stores and corporate due to incompatible systems. This would make it very difficult for the corporate system to keep track of the stores from one and another, sync deliveries, track sales, and accomplish company-wide goals.
2. Centralized back-office processes and centralized information systems aid Supervalu by:
-Meshing together all banners under one system
-Keeping track of all sales and store progress
-Allowing corporate wide or similar stores to exchange and offer successful deals
-Allowing collaboration for banner presidents
-Creating a general culture through the corporate level down
-Allowing corporate to only have to pay for one set of tools
3. Yammer lets companies create their own secure private social network. Employees can use the software to connect with coworkers and gain credit for the completion of successful projects. Yammer also supports the ability to organize events, start leaderboards, create events and find local experts. Additionally, users can divide into team workspaces to share content or compile notes. Yammer is a secure, private social network. It is a new way of working that naturally drives business alignment and agility, reduces cycle times, engages employees and improves relationships with customers and partners. It originally launched as an enterprise micro blogging service but now has applications on several different operating systems and devices. The strong set of features makes Yammer a good choice for small and mid-sized businesses.
