A company grew from $1 million in sales and 12 employees in 1987 to $22.6 million in sales and 135 employees in 2007, but was told in 1987 they were too small for a management information system. In 2008 the company had $3.1 million in sales for January and was implementing a new MIS system, which presents challenges including not having a perfect system, weaknesses in e-commerce products, frustration with implementation, and potential cultural shock, as well as needing training, utilizing the whole system, ease of use in selection, software updates, and a good report writer feature.
