...Business Requirements and IS Proposal Team B University of Phoenix CIS/207 April 11, 2012 Dr. Jeorge S. Hurtarte' Business Requirements and IS Proposal Introduction Riordan Manufacturing is an international company that manufactures plastic. In 1991, Dr. Riordan, a chemistry professor, focused on processing polymers into strong plastic substrates. A year later he acquired a fan manufacturing plant in Pontiac, MI. After growth of the production of plastic containers, Riordan changed the company name to “Riordan Manufacturing, Inc. The company has four locations but research for Riordan Manufacturing Inc. takes place in San Jose, which is the corporate headquarters. One product developed by Riordan includes plastic beverage containers produced in Albany, Georgia. The organization has a need for both internal and external audits on a monthly basis. It is challenging to meet the terms of the new government reporting requisites. The current system is aging and requires constant manual intervention to update. Team B will be elaborating on how the enhancement of the current computer systems will make Riordan Manufacturing Inc. more efficient by coming up with a proposed solution of implementation. Business requirements: How to use computer system utilization to become more efficient Riordan Manufacturing currently remains at a competitive level of operations and an industry leader in plastic injection molding (University of Phoenix, 2011).

...Carl Rascoe, Juan (Danny) Castaneda, and Tina Schaffer CIS/207 November 6, 2012 Bill Fennell Riordan Manufacturing is a global plastics manufacturer that was founded by Dr. Riordan in 1991. Dr. Riordan obtained several patents that later turned into commercial applications that developed his company in to a Fortune 1000 enterprise, employing 550 people with projected earnings of $46 million dollars and over $1 billion in revenues. In 1993 the company expanded from high tensile strength plastics and fans into producing plastic beverage containers. The company’s latest expansion was in 2000 when it opened operations in China. Riordan Manufacturing is the industry leader in using polymer materials with future goals of achieving and maintaining reasonable profitability to ensure and sustain growth (Apollo, 2005). In response to Hugh McCauley’s, Riordan Manufacturing Chief Operations Officer‘s (COO) concern about the antiquated processes and his requirements the team analyzed the manual and redundant processes of the current Human Resources System Integration (HRIS). The team has determined with the use of state-of-the art information technology system the current manual intensive, multi-functional processes can be integrated into a single system. The team has kept in consideration that the integrated HRIS has to be accessible by all of Riordan’s plant locations. Based on the request the new system should be completed and available for use by the second...

...New System Proposal Team A CIS/207 February 23rd 2014 Riordan Manufacturing requires an innovative information system proficient in the organization of product sales, which allows management of data by employees from computers and mobile devices. This new system would contain customer records and be password protected for sales agent’s individual accounts and further promote confidentiality of client and corporate data. Information security and carbon footprints will need to be addressed with creation of a new data warehouse. The cloud computing system would be an idyllic system for addressing the needs of Riordan Manufacturing and would be an inexpensive conversion from the old systems. Cloud computing initially evolved from visualization. The use of visualization would allow Riordan to separate its software, business applications, and data from hardware sources that may experience an issue. The cloud offers storage, network, and hardware virtualization. Businesses can set up private clouds as storage warehouses for company information. Information technology virtualization enhances the business’s assets and offers lower administration fees, reduced maintenance, and consolidation of company information for strategic marketing initiatives in one location. With this in place, there would be less risk of possible loss of important and pertinent information. The entire marketing division would be combined into one superior database for easier comparison of information. Switching...

...Green Systems, Inc. Mobile sales tablet proposal Charles Brooks, Willy Almazan, Nathan Gass, Christian Hawkins, Matthew Chau University of Phoenix CIS/207 11/06/2012 The Mobile sales tablet by Green Systems Inc is an amazing solution to the retail experience. By putting the mobility in employees’ hands to walk around and spend the entire experience with the customer it creates more of a bond that that customer will remember the next time they want to purchase. Employees can look up a multitude of things with the mobile devices and save time from having to do price checks, stock checks, and looking for product information. Employees are freed up to do other tasks they might not have been able to accomplish if they were stuck to a register. And the devices have many more applications for use than just that. Mobile device payment offers a way to inexpensively change the way your business develops. By removing the costly register systems and switching everything over to mobile units you free up space in the store that otherwise would have been taken up by registers, lines, and “in a hurry” Customers. Now we go to them. They don’t have to come to us. We bring not only our own knowledge in our heads, but so much more. With a few other additions to this system we can change the way retail is done. Not a moment is wasted to build an excellent customer relationship that keeps that customer coming back every time. Welcome to The Mobile Sales Tablet. In This proposal we will be discussing...

Business processes are essential components that help business do multiple functions; inventory tracking, personnel tracking, and financial budgeting management are some of the concepts and protocols that most businesses must implement in their organization in order for it to run smoothly and efficiently. With a bad economy and the rising costs of goods and services, companies must try to cut cost where it is possible while keeping up with demands of the 21st Century. Information Technology (IT) costs are up as well and it is up to the companies to insure that they are utilizing the IT resources to the fullest. "Many organizations find that they have some software titles that are out of compliance [with licensing agreements], while others are being underutilized” (Johnson, 2012). The new system that we are proposing to Riordan, we are confident that it will not be underutilized and that the company gets full use and potential out of this system. Real Time Locating System (RTLS) is what we are proposing to Riordan. We will be discussing aspects of this system in detail that will talk about some of the components, how information will be...
