...Club IT Part 2 After looking at club IT website I believe it should be upgraded to showcase the fun nightlife the clubs brings. This can be done by adding video footage of club events to the website also testimonials from club patrons speaking on their experience in club IT. With this marking system club IT can attract people not just in their area, but people from all over the world looking for a nice upscale safe club to party at when they are in town on vacation etc. The three business problems I see with club IT is lack of E-commerce, there back office in terms of internet access and efficient product and service. In order to gain more revenue Cub IT must make changes to their back office starting with the replacement of the speed of the internet from a dial up connection to the fastest speed available to them. As stated, at the moment Club IT sells advance tickets for special Friday and Saturday night concerts by phone or in person. However, my recommendation to the owners of club IT is to expand ticket sale not only on Special Friday and Saturday night concerts but all the days the club is open for business. This action will give customers more of an opportunity to buy advanced tickets and not have to wait on long lines to gain entry to club IT. Moreover, the implementation of a website as Ruben stated to sell tickets can also be used to advertize the club which in turn can have a positive impact on business. Forging new relationships between businesses is becoming...

They have recently remodeled the interior of Club IT and it has been successfully paying itself off. Both Ruben and Lisa have decided that their business needs to improve in the information department and have hired Jerry Brown to handle the information management area. Since arriving, getting acquainted with the staff and familiarizing himself with the business, Jerry has evaluated the IT status of the business, its resources, customers and supply chain.

Jerry believes he can incorporate enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and supply chain management (SCM) software into his solutions. Finally, this paper will discuss how various departments within the club may use these solutions. Three Business Problems at Club IT During the evaluation, Jerry has noticed three business problems at Club IT. First, the name of the business is Club IT, yet the club is currently boasting a dialup internet connection. Due to its limited bandwidth the dial up connection is slow in speed. It can provide a maximum speed of 56 kilobits per second. Dial up connection also limits access to certain media like videos. It also takes longer...

The owners of Club IT Ruben and Lisa want to bring at El Centro extraordinary and unforgettable nightlife atmosphere to its guests. Even though Club IT has done an exceptional job in the information systems world, but it is waiting for improvement. In evaluating and examining information about the nightclub business, opportunities at the Club IT exist in improving technology capabilities. Both Ruben and Lisa need an assessment of existing information systems and recommendations on how to improve management capabilities. Although Lisa and Ruben did a good work remodeling their club’s interior, they are thinking about the club’s information management systems. Ruben and Lisa use information resources like the intranet to help to keep their business organization efficiently. For example, the owners and employees use a private network that they only can access. Club IT' employees use their internal intranet to log in to their website with a username and password, club it. It provides the club’s employees with access to information such as their schedules, medical and insurance forms, news, and the company’s policies, which only the company’s employees can access and not the public. Nevertheless, the security of long in needs to be reinforcing, the problem is that the employees have the same login and password giving them access to the...

Their clientele regularly uses mobile technologies like the Blackberries, camera phones, PDA’s, and other wireless communication devices. Ruben wants to set up a web site to handle the ticket sales that he now sells on the phone or by person. Currently, Club IT has a dial up connection which makes it hard to do research for the club much less run a business. There are the resources, customers, and the supply chain to define and discuss how to resolve these issues, finally, a project development method to do a proper analysis of Club IT. Club IT’s Resources, Customers, and Supply chain Enterprise resource Planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), and the customer relationship management (CRM) are part of a system to resolve Club IT’s technological and management problems. To look at them as a whole will help see the problem as a whole then later we will break them down individually.

Although it was a late night and you had to wake up early this morning to report back to work, you now have a better understanding of the daily business cycle at Club IT. You are energized when Lisa asks you for suggestions on how to use club and public resources to keep Club IT’s edge as the high-energy, high-impact club it strives to be. The Internet research you have been doing for Lisa and Ruben has been eye-opening, but it is also exasperatingly slow on their dialup connection in their cramped back office. You have a lot of ideas for useful network applications at Club IT. There are many opportunities for discovery and collaboration among employees, members and business partners. You decide to take the initiative and research network applications for the benefit of Club IT. You have interviewed Ruben and the rest of the staff at Club IT and have compiled the following notes: • Club IT’s customers are mostly Net Generation and Millennials. They regularly use mobile technologies such as Blackberries, PDAs, camera phones, and other wireless communication devices. Online shopping is a regular part of their lives. • Not many nightclubs have taken advantage of various e-commerce activities, and Ruben sees this as an opportunity to gain...

Lisa, Rubin, and a systems consultant have analyzed the current information system status and during this analysis they have identified three areas that need improvement. This prompted Lisa and Ruben made the decision to upgrade their information management systems. The first problem their information system identified was neither Lisa nor Ruben were not up-to-speed with e-commerce. The second problem is that their computers are old and out-dated along with that their Internet connection was the old hard-wired system that plugged directly into the computer. The third problem, they need a better way to keep track of customer orders along with keeping track of inventory. A “Water Fall” method was Lisa and Rubens choice of method to use in their systems analysis (Wiley Higher Education, 2006). Current Information System Lisa and Rubin use their information system to help run their business and in their decision-making process’ (Wiley Higher Education, 2006). Their intranet and using the Internet helps them search for and retrieve needed information quickly.

...Club IT part 2 Xbis/219 12/16/2012 Club IT so far has managed to be successful so their reputation is good in the community that they serve. Although Club IT has managed to be successful with their current operating system it is necessary to improve business operations in Club IT in order to grow and also to expand to the next level. While noticing what areas that can be improved on and then developing a plan of action for those improvements Club IT will become more efficient in serving its customers and to attract new customers. Some of the things that I have noticed are that Club IT customers are mostly of the Net Generation meaning that they regularly use mobile technologies. I noticed that Club IT has yet to take advantage of the many e-commerce activities available in dealing with suppliers and guest. Finally Club IT sells advance tickets for special Friday and Saturday night concerts by phone or also in person. Upgrading in their information technology (IT) system can improve aspects of their business. Club IT can specifically use an upgrade in the Supply chain and Customer relationship management systems in my opinion. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that fully integrates the system can make the two IT systems more efficient. To have more control over inventory Club IT must implement the Supply chain management system (SCM). Reuben and Lisa are currently reordering supplies when they see they are low and sometimes they order extra surplus and sometimes...

The owners and executive Ruben and Lisa are very excited for how their business has grown but even though they is excited of their business they are ready to make a few changes with their business and information systems. After Ruben and Lisa have stayed at the club a few times and have been watching how their business is being operated as they get ready to shut down, they had come up with a few problems. The owners came to assumptions about their company that in order to keep it up that the computer hardware and internet service really needs to be upgraded. Even if they do one at a time it is only right if they bring the tools up to date so they can be able to keep the business a success. I also think that if they keep a more efficient system of how to track customer orders and handle their inventory as needed since the clubs has a big popularity and is constantly growing by the weeks just imagine if they upgrade everything the money they spent on the item to upgrade will pay for itself. Another issue is that Ruben ad Lisa are not taken advantage of participating in e-commerce promote the club online do whatever it takes to...

...Club IT Part 2 Angela Salcedo January 07, 2011 BIS / 219 Mr. Peng Club IT continues to grow in what is known to us as a fast paced, survival strain to maintain success at the end of every day, keeping the company on top of things and customers satisfied in a safe and sustainable manner. Club IT and its IT infrastructure have been very effective leaving Club IT a successful business so far. Club IT’s time has come to take the next step to set itself apart as a leader in the night club industry. Therefore this night club will undertake this by implementing a supply chain manager, using a cutting-edge customer resource manager, building on and improving the enterprise resource planning software. Owners both, Reuben and Lisa, currently order supplies when they consider they might be running low. They have been doing so with all of their supplies from food and drinks to office supplies. By running the club this way, it opens the door to ordering too much or not enough of certain supplies. Reuben and Lisa cannot afford to risk losing customers over incorrect guessing for orders and supplies. By implementing the use of an SCM like, ordering and deliver of goods and services is streamlined while reducing risk at the same time. Club IT can form a new business-to-business relationship with a company like Sysco who can supply food and beverage items. Reuben and Lisa will also be able to create relationships with other suppliers who specialize in specific areas that Club...

...Club IT Part 2 Although Club IT has done an excellent job of beginning their journey in the information systems world, there remains plenty of room for improvement. Implementing a Joint Application Design (JAD) method in advancing their systems development would not only help to create a system that meets the needs of the Club IT staff, but also its clientele. If Club IT intends on gaining a competitive business advantage through active participation in e-commerce, they must take the appropriate steps to invest in their business information system. One of the most obvious problems that Club IT has, is with its internet connection. Currently, Club IT operates using a dial-up connection. (About, 2010) While dial-up connections are a considerably less expensive alternative to high speed connections, they are extremely slow. (Rainer, 2009) While it may appear that Club IT is saving money by not paying for a higher speed connection, it is likely that the savings is not as significant as they may think. Since dial-up connections require the use of a phone line, Club IT is unable to use the phone when the internet is being used. Having an additional phone line installed to alleviate this problem would only incur more cost. In the end, the difference between paying for a high speed internet connection and paying for a dial-up internet connection is minimal. Another problem with using a dial-up connection is latency. (Rainer, 2009) Since most dial-up connections have a high occurrence...

Ruben and Lisa have done a superior job ensuring their business, staff and customers are well satisfied and entertained. Club IT offers a high-energy, high-impacted atmosphere with bands/DJ; refreshments, dance floors, and club merchandise that members can receive discounts for; each of which has proven to win over the clientele they frequently draw in. One would think that is enough to be a successful running business, but there is always room to improve and better your business no matter how well it may seem to be doing. That said both Ruben and Lisa, for the most part, are satisfied with their nightclub, but they feel there is still room for improvement with the information technology they are currently using. As their intern, to help analysis their resources, I strongly agree with their concern pertaining to the information technology that Club IT currently uses. That in mind, I have suggested that they think about implementing a new methodology toward acquiring the best resources that will contribute and enhance the technology used to operate Club ITs information systems. After taking into consideration the different types of methodologies I am familiar with, I felt that the implementation of an Agile Development method would better assist...

While Club IT’s customers are mostly Net Generation and Millennial, whom regularly use mobile technologies Blackberries, PDAs, camera phones, and other wireless communication, Club IT still operate on a dial-up connection. Dialup internet service is a service that allows connectivity to the internet through a standard telephone line. By connecting the telephone line to the modem in your computer and inserting the other end into the phone jack, and configuring the computer to dial a specific number provided by your internet service provider (ISP) you are able to access the internet on your computer.
