...Introduction The Bandon Group is a family owned distributor of copiers, electronic printers, faxes and other office equipment who provides high quality equipment and superior customer service at cost effective prices. Their continued success, beginning in 1972, led them to expand into information systems consulting, document outsourcing, and document management services, by 1994. After experiencing exponential growth due to their good reputation, they found that they had outgrown their current information systems. Customers began to request web enabled services, such as online meter readings and e-business solutions. There were also difficulties with the sales prospecting database, as it was not integrated with the operations administrative database (OMD), which made it difficult for Bandon Group to address the needs of their customers.

The overall benefit of the study was to assure that IT plans support future business plans, to provide a basis for linking IT spending to the business direction, offer context for functional managers and MIS professionals to make accurate determinations, and present closer integrations of like systems and networks while...
