...Project Charter for the YourGard CRM Implementation Project Project Purpose and Justification YourGard is a rapidly growing technology company that provides hardware and software products for the business security sector, they currently have revenues of more than $200 million. Yourgard recently acquired the company Bio-Gard, a leader in the access control market who had revenues of $80 million and is best known for their biometric technology and sophisticated management software. Yourgard has seen over the past six months a loss of new and additional business revenue from existing contracts due to a severe decline in customer satisfaction. Customer frustration stems from the lack of clear points of contacts for both the sales and service departments. Internally there are inefficiencies, duplication of work, and a lack of system commonality. It is critical that YourGard regain and then maintain customer satisfaction, while rebuilding its reputation in the security sector to ensure future growth for the company. The purpose of this project is to install a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that will be implemented across the company to help them: 1. Improve customer satisfaction 2. Make use of the latest technology to organize, automate, and synchronize the company’s business processes that include sales activities, marketing, customer service, and technical support. 3.

...------------------------------------------------- Project Proposal ------------------------------------------------- The upgrade of agency’s ------------------------------------------------- Customer Relationship System (CRM) This project includes and impacts several independent agencies now related to X via the larger program encompassing it: the ongoing initiative of X X to consolidate and streamline the public services of major agencies. These related agencies are identified in their own department as X X. Since 2011, the X Department has succeeded in becoming one of the largest of the X's consolidation projects. It has contracted with and 'absorbed' a significant amount of the call center volume, allowing those agencies to pursue their true goals (e.g., processing real eX licenses, or Xes). The amount of data required to service the newly-contracted agencies was imported with minimal difficulty over the last couple of years, with very few budgetary or administrative push-backs or setbacks. However, the amount of data to be maintained and imported is no longer feasible, and is a stress on the current CRM. Goals Currently, the departments intend to maintain their current success rate of meeting customer service levels promised to the public, and contracted with related departments and agencies. They also intend to have minimal drop in those levels during the transition to the new CRM. Finally, they intend to exceed the current service levels, and nearly double...

(Mashkin), a wholly owned subsidiary of Amir Inc., a British financial conglomerate, is a medium-size, asset-management group based in the US. Mashkin consists of three primary divisions: a mutual fund company with $10 billion in assets; a separate, but closely affiliated asset management company with $15 billion in assets; and a financial services company. Since the early 1990s, these three enterprises have shared the same client database and other software programs. The first program utilized, an inexpensive, off-the-shelf system with limited capabilities, was used by the sales department of both the mutual fund company and the asset management company primarily to store names, telephone numbers, and notes of salespeople. A second program was used by the IT department to update the database as new clients arrived and record daily sales data. A third program was installed at all internal and external salespersons’ workstations and laptops to provide current data to the sales force. In addition, the Client Service Call Center used a separate designed-in-house program to track incoming call activity...

...Hardware Replacement Project Steven Royster IT/205 Matthew Juliana 25 March 2012 The IT department wants to replace their old CRM with a new CRM solution. The only problem is that their existing hardware is old and out of date thus will not support the new CRM. I have been called in to not only access the situation but to analyze what equipment will be needed and help install the equipment. This has to be done before the new CRM can be installed and implemented. Before all that can happen I first must come up with a report for the executives that talks about the five project management variables and how they relate to the upcoming project. I will also discuss what considerations should be thought about as to get the company the best value and what factors will influence the project risk along with how to keep those risks down to a minimal amount. In order to get the picture of how the new CRM will work out the five major variables of project management must be analyzed to see how they will fit in to the scenario. The five major variables are scope, time, cost, quality, and risk. Every one of these variables will play a role in this project so I will discuss each one: 1. Scope defines what work is or is not included in a project. For this particular project there will be a scope for new networking equipment as well as computer equipment to implement the new CRM. The borderline of the scope for the project must not be crossed because it can possibly mess up one of...

...MEMO To: Management Team From: Jacques Lamoureux, CGA, Date: ------------------------------------------------- Re: CRM system, draft financial statements, operational initiatives, and other issues The purpose of this memo is to discuss the operational initiatives and related risks, the draft financial statements, the CRM system and other issues that have arisen over the past year. Homes sales and other operational initiatives Further analysis needs to be done to determine the feasibility of both the home sales and the new candle line. Preliminary research suggests there is a market for scented candles; as several companies similar to FFI report increased sales of up to 5% with the addition of a candle line. However, the sales projections prepared by Mandy show a 20% increase in sales in the first year; this is significantly higher than the results experienced by others within the industry. An evaluation of how Mandy arrived at her projections is required. As it stands, FFI does not have the production capacity to produce a line of candles. Accordingly, a third party contractor will need to be engaged. There are several risks associated with contracting a third party. Specifically, FFI will have less control over quality and the contractor will have access to FFI’s secret recipes for potpourri. Also, the minimum order levels required by the contractors represent the majority of production; this would require a large upfront capital outlay. The home sales program...
