Zara

The Intuit-HP Retail Solution comes complete with: HP's Point of Sale System, monitor, USB keyboard and mouse, Receipt Printer, Credit Card Reader, Cash Drawer, Barcode Scanner, and Intuit Point of Sale software. To upgrade Zara’s current POS system, Zara should keep the old POS system running until the new system is ready for cut-over. The first plan is to upgrade the Information Infrastructure to support the new system. Zara must first upgrade its company’s network infrastructure from modem based to broadband based. Zara must ensure the network connectivity is available at every store. Once the network infrastructure is in place, Zara should contract with Intuit-HP professional services to install the Intuit-HP Retail Solution and necessary servers at its headquarter first. The installation contract should also entail training sessions and materials for the users at headquarter. When the implementation at the headquarter is completed, the new POS and training should be deployed the local stores. When all the stores get their new POS and all employees are properly trained, with the support of Intuit-HP professional service, Zara should perform a dry-run or integration testing of the solution after-hour to iron out some final glitches or process issues. Upon the completion of the integration testing, Zara could decide on a cut-over day where Zara stores switched to the new system and old data being migrated to the new database. The old POS system should still be kept for a short period of time after the cut-over to make sure the new system running smoothly prior to fully be shut down permanently.
