...Recommendation Report HRM/552 May 30, 2016 Dr. Linda Ballard Recommendation Report My job here at ABC call-center is a newly acquired position here and my focus is on recommendations and restructuring the call center and the overall performance. In my new position I have many things to review and report on with recommendations for the call-center. It is important for me to review all of the call center aspects and report based on all of the factors that can make the call center as a whole more productive and better. At first glance the call center seems to be doing fine; however, the profit margin seems to be slowing and dwindling each reporting week. In first review of the numbers it would seem that the employees are not doing their job, but the numbers show that they are taking calls, doing work, and producing. There is something missing though, so we need to find out what is missing and how we can fix this in the reporting. In reviewing the employees, Henry is the employee who has been here the longest. He has been here with the company for 2 years. We want to speak with him and get his insight into the issues with the call-center and see what can be done from the employee stance to make the center more productive. Henry met with me today and we were able to get some very informative answers about issues that he feels are directly related to the issues at hand for the employees. Some of the concerns mentioned are: * Lack of proper Training * Employee...

...Information Services Data Outsourcing Analysis and Recommendation Executive Summary Smith’s Information Services is an information Services Company located in Lexington, Massachusetts. The company is a growing company with a good future outlook of growing the business. However, the company has growing costs connected to costs of running the data centers. The company has a goal to reduce overhead and possibly utilizing outside services to reach that goal. Smith’s Information Services goals falls within the typical outsourcing services offered by IT outsourcing companies (data center operations). The company’s assessment is that running a data center is getting cost prohibitive and that is backed up by studies done by the U.S. Department of Energy. Data Center Energy Analysis Data centers can consume up to 100 times more energy versus a regular office building. In addition, less that 15% of our energy consumption is being used towards the use of information technology equipment. The energy that data centers like ours are using has doubled from 2000 to 2006. That equates to 60 billion kilowatt hours per year. The projection says that number doubled again in 2011. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prepared Figure 2 below to outline data center energy consumption from 2000 through 2006 with multiple scenarios depicting continued growth through 2011.

...criteria and a high level description of a proposed portfolio management process. You may also be expected to make an informal presentation of the report in class. The proposal should be in the form of a memorandum to your Vice President (your instructor) outlining your proposal. The memorandum should be no more than 10 pages, including any figures and tables. It should be double-spaced, 10 or 12 point font with one-inch margins. This is a summary for an executive, so be concise, to the point, and leave out the fluff. If you don't need 10 pages to document your proposal fully, I am sure that your Vice President will be happy with less as long as it is complete. Using appropriate grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure will be part of your grade. The actual proposal should include the following: 1. A description of the proposed portfolio process. You are explaining it to the executives. 2. The reasons it was selected (tie to strategies as appropriate.) 3. A description of the proposed selection criteria. How will the process be applied in your SBU? 4. The method for applying the selection criteria, and the justification for both.
