...Club IT Margo Denise Kindred BIS219 April 21, 2013 John Brooks Club IT In order for any business to be fully successful the owners must have knowledge of IT (Information Technology). We want to use this information resource to find ways to generate more clientele (ways to advertise in and outside of the nightclub/promotions), keeping books and paperwork in order, menus, the best places to obtain the products needed (cost and quality), on down to customer services and proper training for management and employees. “The mission of Club IT is to create the premier nightclub experience that embodies posh elegance and satisfies the changing tastes and expectations of their core customers. Club IT seeks to provide eclectic forms of entertainment that includes both live music and a DJ Club IT also has a variety of delectable food items and spirits”. Nightclub Resources My first goal would be to find a software program that is designed to carry out the needs of how to run a successful nightclub. Club IT relies on software programs tailored for the night club business model. Club management and the IT department have total control over the menu functions, event pages, and the customer databases which can be used for target marketing and tracking demographic and statistical information. The software also features interactive menus giving the users total access at their fingertips of up to 3 menus. From the menu information can be added, changed, or deleted...

...Technology has become the foundation of everyday life; IT plays a vital role in the business world no matter what the business entails of. Nearly every person has to have some knowledge of technology to make in this competitive business world (DW, 2011). Information technology is important for protecting a business database, against rivalry that exists among businesses, and helps to promote an individual’s company. Club IT is a nightclub that just open in the downtown area. The club is owned and managed by two musicians named Ruben Keys and Lisa Tejada, who has spent their college days working in nightclubs (University of phoenix, 2011). Working in the nightclub environment they have gained knowledge, and firsthand experience in what it takes to bring people within their atmosphere. Lisa and Ruben have just finished remodeling the inside of their club, and they were delighted with how it turns out (University of phoenix, 2011). The club gives off this vibe where people can go and relax, make new friends, dance, drink, and just have fun. Club IT has space up to 6,000 square feet and a 600 square foot dance floor with seating up to 220 people (University of phoenix, 2011). The club offers a short order kitchen with a fully stock bar.

Information systems use specific software applications as their “technology tools” to perform certain tasks or information processing. Information systems and software applications are used in specific departments of a business such as marketing, accounting, and human resources. Marketing departments or firms use geographic information systems (GIS) to gather information pertaining to where and how they should market their good or service. GIS’s gather information like population size, average income of the population, and competitive business in radius to potential site locations.

...Club IT Part 2 John Holmes BIS/219 September 4, 2011 Dr. Freddie Spencer Club IT Part 2 Club IT owners Rueben and Lisa understand there is room for improvement in the current information technology systems used by employees at Club IT. This assessment will provide Rueben and Lisa with recommendations for upgrading and improving of the current information management capabilities (University of Phoenix, 2011). After discussing the assessment outcome with Rueben and Lisa, it was agreed upon that three areas need improvement to bring Club IT information technology systems into the mainstream of club management. The areas are integration and collaboration of functional areas within Club IT, customer relationship with the business, and the method of supply management. The first business problem Club IT needs to consider is upgrading the business end of software. Specifically, implementing commercially available Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) software into daily operations would be a nice start. Integrating the planning, management, and use of Club ITs resources into a single functional area will enhance the business processes of the organization (Rainer & Turban, 2009). Sales and marketing are just a couple of the areas that would feed into the ERP system within Club IT. Sales, in the form of food and preparation time would benefit through the implementation of an ERP system. Currently customer’s orders are...

...Club IT, Part Two Nathaniel Rogers BIS219 October 25, 2010 Alanzo White Club IT, Part Two In response to Ruben and Lisa’s request for a full analysis of Club IT’s information needs (Club IT, Part One), over the past few months, I have observed the overall progress and potential of Club IT and have concluded that it has the potential to become one of the most progressive entertainment venues in Newtown. Club IT currently possesses an adequate platform on which to build a state-of-the-art information system that can propel the club into the stratosphere. With some attention directed toward a few strategic areas and a focus on Information Technology (IT), Club IT can become the entertainment topic of discussion. I will discuss these areas in more detail in this paper and make recommendations on certain systems to implement that will provide the tools necessary to position Club IT to reach its full potential. First, allow me to identify three problem areas that deserve considerable attention: (1) customer relations, (2) sales and marketing, and (3) supply chain management. Concerning customer relations, Club IT needs to do more to establish a rapport with current and potential customers outside the physical confines of the club. It is an established fact that many of Club IT’s patrons use some form of electronic or mobile communications device like Blackberry’s, PDA’s, and camera phones (Club IT Part Two). Club IT must capitalize on this widespread opportunity to...

...PROJECT ASSIGNMENT – PART TWO CLUB IT by Markie Labovitz BIS219 April 19, 2010 Gordon Hodgson Abstract Learning about the technologies that can influence growth, and empower business owners to gain a more prosperous company is extremely satisfying. Technology is improving every day. Those who take advantage of it will take the lead. Those who will not will fall behind. When the improvements are made, Club IT will grow and be even more successful in the coming months and years. Club IT, Part Two Evaluating Club IT’s Resources, Customers, and Supply Chain Upon reviewing the records, both Rueben and Lisa have determined that the club’s information technology needed improvement. They had a simple website advertising Club IT gear such as caps, tee-shirts, and mugs. Even though they had their merchandise on their website, there was no way for their customers to order online. Customers had to reserve tickets for the weekend concerts by phone or at the door. They had acquired quite a few week-end customers and repeaters, and it was time to expand to the next level of technology. It is obvious that the expansion of certain information technology would improve...

...Amazon.com Evolution Team D BIS219 Steve Weibel June 30, 2011 Amazon.com Evolution “A study conducted in 2008 showed that 66% of Americans have purchased a product online” (PewResearchCenter Publications, 2008). The percentage has significantly increased throughout time with the help of technology advancement. Smart phones have come to revolutionize and simplify the life of mobile device owners. Research done by ABI showed that “Mobile online shopping increased from about $369 million in 2008 to about $1.2 billion in 2009; and is estimated to reach as much as $2.4 billion in 2010” ( CNBC, 2010). Online shopping is a fast and convenient way to shop and has become more and more popular as technology advances. Who wouldn’t prefer to shop from the comfort of your own home, or even on the go vs. driving in the Arizona heat to walk into a mall where you have to walk around in search for a specific item, deal with bad customer service, and a crowd of teenagers who are out of school for the summer? The answer is simple, everyone. Founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezoz, Amazon.com is recognized as the number one online retail website by Internet Retailer.com. Amazon was originally created as an online bookstore but it has not limited its sales to books only, Amazon sells everything from mp3’s, DVD’s, electronics, clothing, food, just to name a few products. It also acts a competitor to the popular Netflix by offering live streaming of more than 5,000 movies, and T.V shows...
