21. IT Operations plan
 Operational service objectives from an IT perspective.
○ Available for online pickup response:
Been there for any online orders to service details and provide them proper acknowledgement to
customer.
Maintain a tracking system and e-receipts generation for all transactions.
○ Customer care services:
To be upfront always for complains resolution. Be responsive for their demands and
advices.
○ Backup for breakdowns:
To be ready with replacements for devices or systems. Normal loopholes pre-prepared in
proper format.

22. 3 typical IT operations matrices
Media available/application available
 The performance the application should be highly satisfactory for the customer i.e.
application should be quick, accurate and user interface should be very easy to handle.
Time to resolve incident or problem
 Decrease the time to resolve any issue better will be the application and business. Having the
best alternative during crisis will increase the trust of customer and will benefit our business.
Time to resolve any complain on first call
 Instant solutions to customer will be the best approach to have regular customer. The couple
to call we show lack of our business whereas the customer will be troubled as well complains
will be higher.

23. 3 Typical incidents that could occur
○ Complains of bad goods/wrong shipped goods from customer
The customer can have some bad experience for online order or online pickup or online
payment and judge our store as an worst one. The in store services will also effect to online
feedbacks of customer; which is reviewed by all non-customer.
○ Application crash down
The application can be effected due to constant load or lack of updating. It can even
happen when the user or hacker tried to manipulate data during any updating or changes
of the application.
○ Price match
The competitor pressure will make your profit go in vain. In order to have the customer
faithful with us we need to do price match and give the product to lower prices.

24. Payment issue
It can be a major factor if the payment is being miss placed or transferred to some another account
or it have less options according to customer.
Problems that could occur
Theft:
The issue of barcode and antitheft devices can create an biggest issue. The CCTV breakdown will
make us face great losses. Data can be stolen or corrupted due to hackers.
Payment system went down:
The system went down due to late response of server and bank to our server or use in the network of
our store. The payments will be stopped or will go on hold due this and all online purchase will go
down.

26. ○ Updating goods and price with seasons:
We need to constantly update new products or goods according to new market
updating as well as per the seasons demands goods should be also made available
for the customer.
○ Price match and discounts compare to competitor:
We need to give the products on lower prices or without thinking of profits if the
competitor’s low price to have a faithful customer.
○ Request Fulfillment requests that would be required.
○ Request for login credentials:
We need to constantly provide portal and links for user’s login or change of
password. A separate person or space needs to free always for there issue.

27.  Ideas to have environment more secure:
○ AAA protection:
We can secure all the details of customer to use their application and payment with an proper
authentication and passwords. Keeping it in full verification steps with minimum information
we can have secure network. We can even generate OTPs for them.
○ X-site scripting:
■ We can block the hackers to pop-up fake advertisement and stealing the data of
customers. We can even help customer to warn by not entering any invalid part of
application.
