New System Proposal
For a company like Riordan Manufacturing, employing a system that will help in
organizing its sales data is a must. A sales system will help the management
and its employees to access their data system via mobile phone or a computer.
The new system will be password protected because it contains information about
the company and its sales, the sales representatives and the clients of the
company. The password is to ensure that all data remains confidential for the
benefit of the client and the company itself. Since the company is planning on
creating a new data warehouse, carbon footprints and information security will
be taken seriously by the management. Riordan Manufacturing is already using an
old system and in order to save money once it transitions to the new system,
the company can rely on cloud computing system. Cloud computing system will
also provide Riordan an easier transition from their old system of computing to
the new one.

Riordan
manufacturing decided to use cloud computing system for handling its data with
a belief that it will help the company and the management to disseminate
information properly and accurately. With cloud computing system, the company’s
employees will also have access to pertinent data anywhere, anytime. This
access to information and data is not limited to anyone, meaning even front
liners and lowest ranking employees can access, along with the company CEO’s.
The company believes that it is important to have access to all information and
that access to be within reach all the time because these are needed for quick
decision making processes. Analysis also found it easier to do their job with
all the data in one place. People who need to add information can also upload
the data immediately. If additional information is requested by another
department, it can be provided by the department who has it as well. Cloud
computing system can be made available to all locations as well and all
equipment including handheld devices and mobile computing devices.

Fine Tuning the Data Mart
In its effort to find to continue its smooth operation, Riordan Manufacturing
wanted to have a system that can help the sales team in tracking sales data.
One of the first options that were suggested was to improve their data mart.
According to Team A, improving the data mart can help in recording sales
transactions and it can be accessed by anyone in the sales team. Data mart is a
database information system that can house all sales data from the sales
department. In implementing the data mart usage across Riordan, software and
hardware upgrade is needed to be completed first. One of the first things that
the company needs to work in is the upgrade of its corporate computers in order
to use the common software that can run data mart system. Riordan believes that
once data mart is running, it will save the company tremendous amount of money
in running its business and for sales researches.
Riordan is using Windows based computers but the operating system they are
using are old and outdated. For example, in its San Jose, California and
Hangzhou, China plants, their computers are running on a Windows 2000 operating
system. Their plants in in Albany, Georgia and Pontiac, Michigan use Windows XP
operating system as well, another old timer OS (Apollo Group, Inc., 2006).
These are old considering that Windows has nor rolled out its Windows 7 OS that

Riordan Manufacturing: Improving Sales Methods
CIS/207
Riordan Manufacturing: Improving Sales Methods
To improve sales methods, Riordan Manufacturing needs to have an information
system that is accessible through computers and mobile devices across all
branches of the company. The information system data that the company needs is
something that can store all pertinent information about customers such as
customer information. The record must be password protected as well and only
sales agent with accompanying login information can access the records because
most of it are confidential especially customer the information. Through the
internet, a web-based CRM or customer relationship management system can be used.
CRM can run using a service platform called SaaS. This platform and program is
what Riordan Manufacturing needs in order to have an organized sales system.
Through the system, sales analysis would be easier. Through the information
program that Riordan will be using, sales data can be accessible for all sales
analyst and personnel of Riordan who need it. If other departments will need
information about the products and sales of Riordan, they can access it through
the information system as well. Riordan already have computers installed in all
of its branches but most of them are obsolete hence the company must consider
upgrading computers and software to Windows 7. The company might spend some for
the upgrade but in return, the new system will help the company have a better
database. A newer and better database in return will help the company become
more self-sufficient and reliable with its information, something that its
sales analyst can use in order to make useful market and sale predictions. As
needed, Riordan must purchase SaaS system to make its cloud system work
seamless. As Riordan goes through all these changes, it must be aware of the
gains that it will have in the future and set aside the worries of spending
more for the upgrade and spending more for buying software and server platform
like SaaS.
Riordan Manufacturing was started by Dr. Riordan. His company started in the
plastic industry. Prior to starting his business, his patents were licensed to
his manufacturers and after 15 years, Dr. Riordan was able to manufacture his
own products with plants in the US and China. Riordan Manufacturing became a
known company in the production of beverage containers, plastic parts of
medical devices, fans and medical devices such as sterns and artificial heart
valve parts. According to Apollo Group Inc., (2006), the goal of Riordan is to
make $50M revenue in two years’ time. The revenue is expected after Riordan
spends for upgrades and installing information system that the business will
need to run better. We will talk more about the proposed information system
later on. Another reason why the company is willing to spend on information
system is the fact that it can help in increasing sales because sales analyst
can make better analysis if they have ready data at hand, something that can be
only possible if Riordan has an information system to use.
