They are seeking advice and guidance on how to maintain their high energy, high-impact club. Ruben also wants to explore some new e-commerce technologies and applications to help build his clubs clientele and community and to help their business be more efficient. 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.

...Club IT Part 2 University of Phoenix XBIS/219 1/13/2012 Club IT Part 2 * After meeting with Lisa and Ruben, I came up with several ideas for Club IT to become more successful throughout. I researched several project development methodology that could bring Club IT to a whole new level as far as business and information technology. I was also able to give Lisa some suggestions on how to keep Club IT's edge as high energy and high impact as possible through club and public resources such as network applications (University of Phoenix, 2012). I have also identified three business problems at Club IT and plan on fixing those problems as soon as possible with my suggestions. The project method methodology that I have decided to go with for the company is rapid application development. I chose this methodology because it can combine a number of tools and user requirements such as prototyping and joint application design to rapidly produce a high quality system (Rainer & Turban, 2009). This methodology is important because it allows the users in the company to be involved from the start as well as speed up systems development. Three business problems at Club IT are the website, computer hardware, and Internet. These three problems are huge for Club IT because these problems are slowing Club IT's business down. By upgrading and fixing these problems, Club IT could be better than ever. Club IT's website has been a problem because the website lacks the same excitement...

They have asked for help to make their club the one that everyone wants to visit. After spending time with Ruben and the employees of Club IT and watching how things are done, there are a couple suggestions that will be made to help them grow their business so that it will be the hippest Club in the area. There are a couple areas that the owners will need to improve on and the suggestions that will be made may be a little costly up front but in the end may be the life saver of this club. Some IT applications can be rented so to speak and some can be purchased and the owners will have to decide which they would prefer to do to benefit them the most. Lisa and Ruben have done fairly well so far, but to keep up with the clientele that they are catering to they need to be up to speed, so to speak. They currently cater mostly to a clientele of Net Genners and Millenials. These are the people that use technology for almost everything that they do. From communicating with friends to making major purchases these groups use their Phones, PDA’s, and tablets for everything. IT issues: 1.

Their mission statement is “we Reuben and Lisa offer you live music, DJ’s, dance space and refreshments that suit your lifestyle. You are our friends, and we seek to build a community that meets regularly at Club IT”(Wiley, 2005). The mission statement focuses mainly on the clientele. How they will be taken care of and when they step through the door “it is all about them feeling at home and having a good time”. Club IT’s customers are mostly a younger crowd. Who are mobile device users and are up to date with today’s technology. So, Club IT has to make changes to keep up with and better serve their clientele.

...Roberta Willis May 26, 2013 XBIS/280 Club IT part 2 Club IT has been searching for ways for the club to improve their business management as well as becoming more up to date with today’s technology. Brought in as an employee from the outside I was hired to seek ways to make positive improvements in order for the club to live up to their standards they wish for. Club IT’s mission statement is “To offer you the live music, DJ, dance space and refreshments to suite your lifestyle”. (bcs.wiley.com) In order to do so, Ruben and Lisa must implement a few changes to the club which will allow the club to run smoother and satisfy all customers with implementing these new ideas. According to Chapter 10, the system development life cycle is the traditional development that organizations use for large IT projects Rainer & Turban, 2009, Club IT will take SDLC and use some of its features in order to make the necessary improvements for the club. SDLC has three major advantages which are control, accountability, and error detection (Rainer & Turban, 2009). The first change for the Club IT would be improving its technology. The use of internet should be upgraded from dial-up speeds in order to allow customers to connect to a much faster internet connection. Slow internet connection may prevent some customers from doing business with Club IT. While making changes to the clubs internet connection, the club also integrates ways for customers to be notified VIA email or text message about...

...Club IT Part 1 Jason Hencken XBIS/219 December 23, 2012 Dr. Shawn Rieder Club IT Part 1 To create a viable IT department or intranet application that will be efficient and applicable, first I have to consider what type of platform Lisa and Ruben want to design. There are many things to consider such as security, data management, ethical, and legal restraints. There will need to be firewalls in place and word encrypting to protect sensitive information from hackers. Data analysis of information can be very valuable to an organization such as Club IT. The mission is to increase efficacy, expand the social network, prevent copyright infringement, protect data that is received and transmitted electronically. Club IT can speed up Internet access by using broadband technology instead of using fiber optics or cables. Oracle provides many applications for data management. Information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) are vital to an organization such as Club IT. (IT) and (IS) can be used in accounting, marketing, human resources department and e-commerce. Oracle provides a wide range of products and services for data management and implementation. http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/financial-management/index.html?sckw=srch:enterprise-resource-planning&SC=srch:enterprise-resource-planning. “Founded in 1990, the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) is the world’s largest user knowledgebase for Oracle Applications users.” (Oracle Applications Users, 2012...

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 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...

...Club IT Part 2 4.29.12 XBIS/219 Club IT owned by two college friends, Rueben and Lisa have just remodeled their club, which is quickly growing. The club has just gone through an extensive remodel to enhance the look of the club. Since the cosmetic work on the club has been upgraded so to speak, it is now time for an upgrade to their information technology system. In this paper you will see suggestions on how the simplest updates to there technology system can improve the longevity of their business and help the club to run efficiently. I’ll first begin by offering some suggestions as to some great updates to their hardware, software and communications center. Information Technology Hardware/Software/Communications The first thing I would suggest doing is upgrading the Internet connection from dial-up to DSL or HSI (high speed Internet). It is much faster than dial-up and will allow for a quicker processing time at the bar and with software and downloads. Once the transition from dial-up to DSL takes place I would suggest upgrading the memory by adding and maybe running Windows XP to increase the speed and run the business efficiently. Lastly, smartphones or iPods would be a great way to not only communicate with each other about business while at Club IT, but is also a great way to keep track of business. With so many applications that are free for businesses to use and download on their smartphone or iPad, it helps to keep the business running efficiently and...
