The company has contracted you, as a business IT consultant, to research and recommend the best software solutions to support its accounting and financial functions. It has also asked you to choose another function you believe represents the greatest opportunity to contribute to the company’s ongoing success (such as operations/logistics, customer relationship management, supply chain management, support, or another function of your choosing), and research and recommend the best software solutions for that function as well. To complete this assignment:

  7. Write a 2-page business recommendation that ties the business’s needs to potential software solutions. Your assignment should include the following for each of your recommendations: Software solution Purpose/description Cost Benefits/drawbacks Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

Review the Week 1 section in the Course Notes, which lists common types of businesses in the U.S.: sole proprietorship, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, corporation (Inc.), C-corporation, and S-corporation. Discuss a real or imaginary scenario in which you are significantly involved in setting up one or more of the various types of business. For example, you could discuss setting up a home business, a retail business, a start-up company, a small business with a few partners, a C- corporation, S-corporation and so on.

  9. Explain why you chose that type of business for your real or imagined scenario. Describe your role in the business (which should be significant), partners (if any), and the implications of the business type on IT requirements. ============================================== BSA 500 Week 1 Individual Business Systems Table For more course tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.com BSA 500 Week 1 Individual Business Systems Table Create a table in Excel® or another tool that compares and contrasts your search on the Internet for examples of the types of technologies currently used in the field or industry that you work in or plan to pursue.

For a career in logistics or distribution, research supply chain management (SCM) systems. If marketing appeals to you, research customer relationship management (CRM) systems, blogs, marketing, and social networking.

For this assignment, you are a business IT consultant. You have been contracted by a nationwide taxi service called Carz. The company is looking to modify its service delivery to be more competitive.

  11. One of the proposals already being considered is incorporating a web chat interface to entice web-savvy prospective customers to self- schedule taxis (in addition to traditional telephone and email requests). However, the customer pay interface is still the traditional system, fully dependent on drivers/operators calling in to the central booking system office when rides are over and are available for the next pickup. You, as the consultant, will evaluate the proposed addition and also your own modifications to the business process. Management will consider any recommendations, such as incorporating specific, isolated elements of Uber’s and Lyft’s service model to a complete changeover from Carz’s traditional taxi service to an Uber- or Lyft-type peer-to-peer model. To complete this assignment:

  12. Research service models employed by Uber and Lyft. Consider the decision-making processes discussed in this week’s readings. Write a 2-page business process re-engineering plan that includes: A recommendation for adding an Uber- or Lyft-inspired element to Carz’ traditional service model. A discussion of the potential benefit of adding a web chat service request component to Carz’ service model.

  30. For this assignment, you are a systems consultant who has been contracted by Entertainment2U a streaming media company. In its infancy, Entertainment2U offered clips of movie trailers along with discussion boards curated by film critics and experts.

Thanks to acquisitions, the site grew quickly and began including crowdsourced reviews and ratings of online news and entertainment outlets, hardcopy books and magazines, videos, music, and games. The company grew so quickly that now, several years after its inception, leadership has realized that it has silos of information stored in legacy systems. The CEO of Entertainment2U is frustrated by the time it takes to get information needed to make strategic business decisions. A prior consulting firm suggested porting information from all of Entertainment2U’s divisions to a company-wide business information (BI) and CRM systems. However, the CEO saw this recommendation would just create additional systems, and they thought there was already too much time being spent shuffling data from one system to another and formatting and reformatting. As the systems consultant, you have been asked to research and recommend an ERP solution for Entertainment2U.
