The mission statement for Club It is “We, Ruben 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.” (R. Kelly Rainer & Turban, 2009) What Rueben and Lisa have done is take a 6000 square foot location, remodeled it to accommodate a 600 square foot dance floor, seating for 220 people, four wells and bar, a kitchen that serves appetizers and short orders. They have different music genres every week providing a variety of musical acts to fit a variety of consumers. They have a limited information system that provides just the basics for tracking, employees and information access and security. My goal is to provide the needed information that will guide Rueben and Lisa to make the necessary additions and changes to their technical and information systems that will ultimately prove to be profitable for them in the long run.

...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...

Upon spending one evening at the club enjoying the wide variety of music, food, and social interactions it is clear to me that this club could greatly benefit from upgraded IT system (Rainer & Turban, 2008). Club IT’s Resources Club IT’s mission is to seek to provide a place where people can regularly meet and enjoy a wide variety of music and entertainment. The establishment also provides appetizers and beverages to add to a comfortable and unique setting. With its remodeled interior of high ceilings and high energy lighting, the club offers a prismatic and high energy dance scene that artistically adds to the energy of the club. The club focuses on a high energy dance scene that provides Hip-Hop, techno, electronic and a MP3 Disc Jockey. Live music is occasional on hand and only adds to the extensive atmosphere. The primary clientele seems to a younger and more energetic customer. Though the club does attract a wide range of ages, the younger group outweighs the rest, due primarily on the music selections and the fast pace of the night club (Rainer & Turban, 2008). The younger crowd, in this day in age is more in touch with using the internet and the other resources that are tied into World Wide Web, i.e. mobile applications...

You are energized when Lisa asks you for suggestions on how to use club and public resources to keep Club IT’s edge as the high-energy, high-impact club it strives to be. The Internet research you have been doing for Lisa and Ruben has been eye-opening, but it is also exasperatingly slow on their dialup connection in their cramped back office.

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.

This is mostly because of the experience of the owners, Ruben Keys and Lisa Tejada. Both Keys and Tejada graduated from college with degrees in Business Administration and during college they both worked in numerous nightclubs as musicians while attending college. Entertainment at Club IT is all music related with live bands on the weekends and a live DJ on the weekdays. Club IT's customers are mostly tech knowledgeable young adults. Smart phones, tablets, and other forms of wireless communications are part of their everyday lives and they are just as likely to shop online as they are to shop at a brick and mortar business. (Appendix D, n.d.) Also, their customers are frequent visitors to social media sites like Facebook and Youtube. Even though the owners have experience their success is impressive because their information systems are either non existent or out of date. The primary goal of information systems is to process data into information and knowledge. Data is raw information that has not been organized or analyzed. Once data has been organized so it has meaning and value it becomes information. Data and knowledge that has been processed to convey understanding, experience, accumulated learning, and expertise as they apply to a business-related problem is considered knowledge...
