Insights To Accelerate Services Growth (Oco White Paper)Jon Hansen
White Paper Introduction (Excerpt):
Much has been written about customer satisfaction, account management practices, and measurement systems
for services businesses. Some of the approaches take a simple, monolithic approach and propose a standard
model for management of all service businesses. We suggest a different approach and recommend that a service
business should be managed and measured based on the maturity of the service business and the specific requirements of its’ customers.
To help operationalize this approach, we provide a framework for understanding how a services organization and its’ customer engagement should be measured. This framework is based on the premise that these organizations often progress through three distinct stages – Customer Centric, Profit Centric and Growth Centric – as they
evolve. We specifically outline various information and reporting approaches to support strategic account management of services businesses at each stage of their evolution, we provide examples of what service metrics are most relevant, and then discuss the effective intersection of account practices and metrics by means of a customer dashboard tool used by many leading firms.

Adapting a Consumer Payment Program to Fit Commercial RequirementsMichel van Bommel
1) Adapting consumer payment programs for commercial use requires understanding commercial needs like purchase controls, billing options, and incentives to draw customers away from payment cards.
2) Commercial customers have different requirements than consumers like separate invoice processing and collections tailored to their needs. Dispute rates above 2% may suggest missing purchase details.
3) Large corporate accounts require specialized billing like separate office invoices and electronic formats for their accounting systems.

1) Adapting consumer payment programs for commercial use requires understanding commercial needs like purchase controls, billing options, and incentives to draw customers away from payment cards.
2) Commercial customers often have unique data requirements for invoice processing like purchase order numbers that can cause delays, so payment programs need separate collections practices for commercial and consumer customers.
3) Large corporate accounts may need specialized billing options like separate billing for multiple offices or electronic formats to interface with their accounting systems.

In a billing and payment program, the mystery of how to maximize B2B profitability is often a simple question of functionality. This paper addresses the common pitfalls of a consumer payment program that hinder commercial growth and goes on to identify value opportunities that can make B2B relationships more profitable.
This document discusses five common pitfalls that companies face when transitioning to a recurring revenue business model. The pitfalls are: 1) having billing systems that cannot support varied monetization models, 2) a fragmented view of the customer across different systems, 3) a lack of agility to react to opportunities, 4) incomplete processes that allow for revenue leakage, and 5) systems that do not scale or have adequate security. The document recommends addressing these pitfalls by implementing a recurring revenue management solution that provides relationship commerce, a unified customer view, adaptive selling capabilities, process orchestration, and enterprise-class infrastructure with security.
Top Five Metrics for Revenue Generation MarketersC.Y Wong
This document discusses key metrics that B2B marketers should track to measure revenue generation. It recommends tracking:
1) Number of leads produced, close rate (new customers/new leads), and revenue per new customer to understand lead generation, nurturing, and quality.
2) Adding metrics like average time to close and cost per new customer.
3) Breaking down the buying process into stages and tracking movement through each stage via funnel reporting.

In an environment of compliancy laws, regulations, and standards, in.docxcharisellington63520
In an environment of compliancy laws, regulations, and standards, information technology (IT) departments in organizations must develop comprehensive organizational policies to support compliance. One specific area in which they must develop policies is the governance of fiduciary responsibility. Scenario: As changes occur in compliancy laws, regulations, and standards regularly, IT management of YieldMore has decided to evaluate the governance of fiduciary responsibility within the organization as it pertains to the IT department. Your team has been assigned the task of evaluating how the governance of fiduciary responsibility affects the organization’s risk. Tasks: You are asked to identify the relationship between fiduciary responsibility and organizational risk, and present this information to the IT management of YieldMore.
1. Identify key stakeholders, their roles and responsibilities, and the impact of fiduciary responsibility on each.
2. Determine the relationships among these stakeholders, the relationship between fiduciary responsibility, and organizational risk for each.
3. Distinguish the identified relationships as they relate to strategic, operational, and compliancy goals for the organization.
4. Develop an appropriate plan to govern fiduciary responsibility for the organization.
5. Prepare a report of your findings for IT management to review.

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler o.docxcharisellington63520
In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

Week Four Instructor Guidance
, and the scenario provided below. In particular, you should review the
Initial Referral to the Multidisciplinary Team form
found on p. 112-113 of your text, the
Child Study Team Referral Form
from week three, and
Part I
of the
Comprehensive Report
found in the
Instructor Guidance
for this week.
Scenario:
In addition to your role on the Child Study Team, you are also a member of the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MDT). This team is preparing to meet because while the Tier Two Interventions have been helpful, Manuel is still struggling with his reading fluency and his writing, and is continuing to fall further behind. The MDT has received the signed and dated formal permission for referral from Manuel's parents and the school psychologist has conducted an academic achievement evaluation as described in your text. One of your roles as the special education inclusion teacher in your school is to translate the results of all the assessments in a way that is understandable to parents, the child, and to the regular education teacher. Another aspect of your role is to write the Initial Referral to the MDT such as the one described on p. 112 of the text. Finally, in your role as the special education inclusion teacher you are tasked with reviewing the results of all the assessments in order to to help the Manuel, his parents and his other teachers to understand the various strategies that are recommended based on his assessment outcomes.
You have reviewed the RTI data collected to date, including the informal observations of Mr, Franklin and Manuel's other teachers and samples of his classroom work, and have compared those data to
Part I of the Comprehensive Report
prepared by the school psychologist. That report is located in the Instructor Guidance for this week. The data paint a compelling and congruent picture of Manuel's current academic functioning. You are now ready to write an Initial Referral for Manuel so that his eligibility for special education services can be determined.
Initial Post:
Review the
Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form
on p. 112 and 113 of your text. Compare the information needed for that form with the
Child Study Team Referral Form
that you filled out last week for Manuel. Explain the different functions of the two documents and state how they are alike and how they are different. Then, explain how you plan to share the data on the Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form in a way that Manuel, his parents, and Mr. Franklin can understand. Be sure to include an explanation for why you are the one sharing this information with them. Include pertinent professional or personal real world examples to illustrate your points.

But life itself, my wife, and all the world
Are not with me esteemed above your life.
I would lose all, ay sacrifice them all

And Portia, who hears these lines (though Bassanio doesn’t know it), says,
“Your wife would give you little thanks for that
If she were [near]by to hear you make the offer.”
(Act 4, scene 1, 281-288
Is Antonio really more important to Bassanio than Portia? Explain why or why not. What do these lines tell us about the value of male friendship vs. marriage in this play? Would Portia be justified in rejecting Bassanio, since later in this scene he gives away the ring she gave him which he swore never to give up? (see Act 3, scene 2, lines 167-185) Your response should be about 200-250 words and should include specific references to lines in the play.

1) Adapting consumer payment programs for commercial use requires understanding commercial needs like purchase controls, billing options, and incentives to draw customers away from payment cards.
2) Commercial customers often have unique data requirements for invoice processing like purchase order numbers that can cause delays, so payment programs need separate collections practices for commercial and consumer customers.
3) Large corporate accounts may need specialized billing options like separate billing for multiple offices or electronic formats to interface with their accounting systems.
Adapting a Consumer Payment Program to Fit Commercial Customer RequirementsPatricia Waguespack
In a billing and payment program, the mystery of how to maximize B2B profitability is often a simple question of functionality. This paper addresses the common pitfalls of a consumer payment program that hinder commercial growth and goes on to identify value opportunities that can make B2B relationships more profitable.
This document discusses five common pitfalls that companies face when transitioning to a recurring revenue business model. The pitfalls are: 1) having billing systems that cannot support varied monetization models, 2) a fragmented view of the customer across different systems, 3) a lack of agility to react to opportunities, 4) incomplete processes that allow for revenue leakage, and 5) systems that do not scale or have adequate security. The document recommends addressing these pitfalls by implementing a recurring revenue management solution that provides relationship commerce, a unified customer view, adaptive selling capabilities, process orchestration, and enterprise-class infrastructure with security.
Top Five Metrics for Revenue Generation MarketersC.Y Wong
This document discusses key metrics that B2B marketers should track to measure revenue generation. It recommends tracking:
1) Number of leads produced, close rate (new customers/new leads), and revenue per new customer to understand lead generation, nurturing, and quality.
2) Adding metrics like average time to close and cost per new customer.
3) Breaking down the buying process into stages and tracking movement through each stage via funnel reporting.

In an environment of compliancy laws, regulations, and standards, information technology (IT) departments in organizations must develop comprehensive organizational policies to support compliance. One specific area in which they must develop policies is the governance of fiduciary responsibility. Scenario: As changes occur in compliancy laws, regulations, and standards regularly, IT management of YieldMore has decided to evaluate the governance of fiduciary responsibility within the organization as it pertains to the IT department. Your team has been assigned the task of evaluating how the governance of fiduciary responsibility affects the organization’s risk. Tasks: You are asked to identify the relationship between fiduciary responsibility and organizational risk, and present this information to the IT management of YieldMore.
1. Identify key stakeholders, their roles and responsibilities, and the impact of fiduciary responsibility on each.
2. Determine the relationships among these stakeholders, the relationship between fiduciary responsibility, and organizational risk for each.

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler o.docxcharisellington63520
In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

In addition to reading the Announcements, prepare for this d.docxcharisellington63520
In addition to reading the
Announcements
, prepare for this discussion by reading the
Required Resources
, the
Week Four Instructor Guidance
, and the scenario provided below. In particular, you should review the
Initial Referral to the Multidisciplinary Team form
found on p. 112-113 of your text, the
Child Study Team Referral Form
from week three, and
Part I
of the
Comprehensive Report
found in the
Instructor Guidance
for this week.
Scenario:
In addition to your role on the Child Study Team, you are also a member of the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MDT). This team is preparing to meet because while the Tier Two Interventions have been helpful, Manuel is still struggling with his reading fluency and his writing, and is continuing to fall further behind. The MDT has received the signed and dated formal permission for referral from Manuel's parents and the school psychologist has conducted an academic achievement evaluation as described in your text. One of your roles as the special education inclusion teacher in your school is to translate the results of all the assessments in a way that is understandable to parents, the child, and to the regular education teacher. Another aspect of your role is to write the Initial Referral to the MDT such as the one described on p. 112 of the text. Finally, in your role as the special education inclusion teacher you are tasked with reviewing the results of all the assessments in order to to help the Manuel, his parents and his other teachers to understand the various strategies that are recommended based on his assessment outcomes.
You have reviewed the RTI data collected to date, including the informal observations of Mr, Franklin and Manuel's other teachers and samples of his classroom work, and have compared those data to
Part I of the Comprehensive Report
prepared by the school psychologist. That report is located in the Instructor Guidance for this week. The data paint a compelling and congruent picture of Manuel's current academic functioning. You are now ready to write an Initial Referral for Manuel so that his eligibility for special education services can be determined.
Initial Post:
Review the
Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form
on p. 112 and 113 of your text. Compare the information needed for that form with the
Child Study Team Referral Form
that you filled out last week for Manuel. Explain the different functions of the two documents and state how they are alike and how they are different. Then, explain how you plan to share the data on the Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form in a way that Manuel, his parents, and Mr. Franklin can understand. Be sure to include an explanation for why you are the one sharing this information with them. Include pertinent professional or personal real world examples to illustrate your points.

Introduction
Especially for You Jewelers is a small jewelry company in a
college town. Over the last couple of years, it has experienced a
tremendous increase in its business. However, its financial
performance has not kept pace with its growth. Especially for
You Jewelers wants to increase repeat sales to its existing
customers; thus, it needs to develop a customer database. It also
wants to install a new direct sales and accounting system to help
solve the outlined problems. (Satzinger, Jackson, & Burd, 2012)
This is not a unique scenario; in fact it is all too common for
small businesses to experience this situation. The business
world is constantly changing in many ways, new consumer
devices, new services, and new technologies are always
emerging. In order to keep space with these changes, the way
organization developed software must also change. The
implementation and deployment of any new system is a set of
complex processes because they consist of so many
interdependent activities. Of the right strategies are
2. implemented, the benefits will outweigh the costs for these
deployments and Especially for You Jewelers will be able to
continue developing new systems for their daily processes.
In order to provide the answers to the research questions, the
technical paper will outline five expected business benefits that
Especially for You Jewelers Company might derive from a new
system. It will also propose at least five system capabilities for
the company. Furthermore, it will ascertain the three possible
scenarios in this new direct sales and accounting system. At
last, the paper will present a system vision document for
Especially for You Jewelers, detailing the overall vision or plan
for the new direct sales and accounting system.
Expected Business Benefits from New System
The reason for presenting the business benefits from a new
system are simple, to determine whether the benefits outweigh
the cost. Every company has its own culture, and the new
system must be in-line with it. Of course there is always a risk
of the new system not meeting specified norms, making it
virtually impossible to be deployed. The areas were Especially
for You Jewelers will most benefit from are:
· Reducing error rates through automated editing or validation:
When recording the amount a customer owes Especially for You
Jewelers, the total of the amount is recorded on the debit of the
accounts receivables. These accounts pose a major challenge to
management as they can turn out to be liabilities when the
customers fail to pay. This error can be overturned with the new
system since lost profits will be visible once more for the
organization
· Increasing market share in existing markets: Even though
Especially for You Jewelers is doing well in the market, the
employment of a new strategy always bids a good outcome for
the company. The strategy for inducing growth in existing
markets, with current products involves little risk since it
utilizes resources and capabilities the company already has. It
also is a strategy that is limited in that once the market is
saturated; a new strategy must be employed. (Bains, 2010)
3. · Reducing bad accounts or bad credit losses: The current
system, which is partly manual and partly automated, doesn’t
track accounts receivables sufficiently. (Strayer, 2015) The new
system will be fully automated, making it possible to keep daily
update records of both creditors and debtors.
· Increase repeat sales to its existing customers: the new system
will increase the sales figures since it will analyze charges and
payments made by the customers. This will be done to increase
the assets or decreasing their values depending on the service
offered and the payments charged.
· Enhancing cross-sales capabilities with existing markets:
because buyers increasingly demand a tailored solution to their
needs (Ledingham, Kovac, Heric, & Montaville, 2013), this new
system will enhance cross-sales capabilities. Customers will be
able to compare products bought from Especially for You
Jewelers with other stores in the area. Buyers will be able to
gather basic information about the various products the
company has to offer.
System Capabilities for the Company
The system capabilities for the new system will help support the
proposed business benefits. These capabilities focus on the
system itself and are as follows:
· Provides a shopping cart capability: this future will support
customer sales with high automation, it will also recommend
related product purchase and comparison shopping and allows
customer ratings and recommendations.
· Provide customer account and billing capability: the new
feature will provide individualized customer account, support
electronic billing and payments and accumulate customer points
and allow for transfer and sharing.
· Market functions for promotions and specials: this feature will
provide flexible promotions and sales and it will accumulate
and track points from suppliers directly to customers.
· Produce daily profit and loss reports: this feature will allow
creating reports for making management decisions about the
different offering available in Especially for You Jewelers.
4. · Report on cost data for inventory items: this feature will allow
for better handling of inventory items. It will give a general
idea of items that are over inventoried and those who are in
high demand to successfully and efficiently manage the
inventory.
Scenarios in New System
Standard Order
The standard order is the process that shows the one-time
customer demand for products inside the standard delivery and
the accounting parameters. This scenario manages the following
activities:
· Helping the customer decide what to buy
· Processing customer orders
· Coordinating distribution and associated logistics
· Producing customer invoices
This scenario integrates the order handling activities with the
workflow of the downstream delivery and the logistics
operations. This scenario is used by Especially for You
Jewelers.
Contract Handling and Scheduling Agreements
This scenario varies in the way customers can specify delivery
quantities and the dates but are same in coordinating delivery
and in producing invoices. These scenarios integrate the
activities of the customer management with the workflow
related with the downstream delivery and logistic functions. The
appropriate cash management, accounts receivable and the
profitability systems are u-to-date.
Third Party Order Handling
Third party direct sales arrangements leverage the relations
between the company and their customers. By controlling
customer service activities and associated accounts receivable
operations, a surviving framework is used to give the flow of
the services and the products to the customer even when they
are not normally sold or produced by the company. The business
process scenario for the third party handling is presented by the
third party order processing scenario. The third party scenario
5. starts by recording the sales activities with the customers like
phone calls and the presentation of the jeweler.
The system makes the purchase demand detailing the products,
quantities and the dates of delivery. This purchase demand is
related with the known resources of the supply. The delivery to
the customer has been full and the invoice of the supplier
processed, billing is taken out for the third party order. The
additional activities in this scenario involve the customer credit
and the debit notes and the processing of the superior vendors
management.
Especially for You Jewelers System Vision Document
Introduction
Over the last few years, Especially for You has experience a
growth in their business. However, its financial performance
has not kept pace with its growth. The current system is

a difficult time why receivables. The company performs
specials to atrack customers but has no ideas if these are
profitable.
Business Needs
The company requires enhancing their business. Its financial
performance has not kept pace with its growth. The recent
system, does not track the accounts receivable and they want to
increase their sales, they need a customer database for this. It

31. Corner Market, Inc.
Project Charter
Project Title: E-Grocer Internet Project with Same-Day
Delivery Service
Project ID:
Sponsoring Organization:
Sponsor Representative:
Prepared By: Group – C
Version: 1
Project Authorization: November 2015
Project Category: Strategic
Project Start Date: November 2015
Project Finish Date: December 2015
Project Description:
A new Web-based service from Corner Market, Inc. is proposed:
Get same-day or overnight delivery on everything in the store
(perishable and non-perishable items). The operations will be
located inside company stores with the “storefront” being an
area of the existing Corner Market retail website. A diverse
team of professionals will design and test new technology and
logistics capabilities for the new delivery service.
32. Business Need:
The delivery service will corner the market of consumers that
may not have the means or time to go to the market for their
essentials. This service is ‘forward-thinking’ and will help us to
develop a strategic change in existing operations and result in
major cost savings that could mean the difference between
future market success and failure.
Company Strategic Plan:
Trial period for same-day and overnight delivery services will
begin in a few select cities as a prototype. A number of new
cities will be launched within two years from the present date.
Project Goal
Given the business need, the goal of our project is to continue
to provide excellent customer service – albeit from a different
method. We aim to do this by allowing consumers to shop their
local Corner Market from the comfort of their home, office, etc.
via our Website, and choose when and where they want
delivery.
Measurable Objectives
In business terms, our objectives are to increase market share
and revenues by 10%. This is obtainable by providing excellent
customer service, a fully functioning and easy-to-use Webstore,
33. and by providing the best prices to our customers.
Vision or Preliminary Scope of the Project
The vision, or preliminary scope, of the project will be to
attract customers (whom may already be existing customers or
not) to shop the store and create more business for Corner
Market, Inc. The preliminary scope of the project will be to set
up operations in a few major cities (i.e. Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Chicago, New York) as a trial for public adoption, to
iron out early issues with the new technology, inventory, and
logistics capabilities.

34. Project Manager Responsibilities and Authority:
The project team reports to the project manager during the
lifespan of the project. Semi-annual evaluations of project team
members will be conducted by functional managers with input
from the project manager.
Budget:
Corner Market, Inc. has allocated $75 million for new operating
initiatives for the next two years (2016-2017). The majority of
the costs of the project is through capital budget. No
outsourcing is expected in this project.
Project Success Criteria:
The new service must meet all codes and specifications and
should be completed on time with all equipment and computers
ready to be deployed.
Risks:
Without the newly requested equipment and people, it will be
impossible to develop this new service. Lower revenues and
profits due to loss of market share, existing and new-to-market
external competitors, and a slow adoption rate are also risks that
should be considered.

Business Problem Statement:
To compete with larger grocery store chains, Corner Market
needs to offer a grocery delivery service. Currently, they may
take special orders over the phone, but they do not have a way
for customers to browse products, place, track, and manage
orders, or a way for their employees to be notified of and update
orders in a timely manner.
System Scope Statement:
An e-commerce system that integrates with logistical functions
will include the ability to place orders, update products, and
manage orders. The project includes the infrastructure
architecture, configuration, and deployment of the application
as well as integration of third party billing and inventory
systems. Testing and user acceptance will be performed prior to
deployment.

1. So, we need a cover letter that is the basic proposal letter to
Corner Market
2/3. We have the Title Page and Table of Contents
4. We will need a strong executive summary - as described by
119. the professor she wants an abstract (what to expect to find) of
what is contained in the paper, not a summary.
5. Outline of system study can be something like what is found
in the course description for the project, and should cover all of
the milestones, we have all the milestones, we just need to give
an outline of what each is.
6. Detailed results of the milestones which tie to the outline.
This is the actual diagrams use case lists, etc. that have been
produced
7. System alternatives are not really needed if we have none as
the professor outlined tonight. If we want to add 1 alternative to
something we can, but it should not be included with the
deliverable's and should be in its own report section. I don't
think we need to broach this subject and she didn't sound like
she cared one way or the other.
8. System analysis recommendation (Glenn did you understand
what she wanted here, I got a phone call right in the middle of

9. Proposal Summary - summary of deliverable's that will need
to be put into a PowerPoint presentation that will be uploaded
120. with the project report along with out individual time cards and
the team time card.
10. Appendices - the professor is not expecting anything here
unless we had to do research for the project. She is expecting
most groups to have no appendices as this was not a research
paper.
Let me know who wants to tackle what and we can all work
together to finish this project in a timely manner and move on
with other things.
I would highly recommend downloading the week 7 seminar
from doc sharing as the professor posted the topics and key
items for the final and it should help.

Business Problem Statement:

orders in a timely manner.
System Scope Statement:
An e-commerce system that integrates with logistical functions
will include the ability to place orders, update products, and
manage orders. The project includes the infrastructure
architecture, configuration, and deployment of the application
as well as integration of third party billing and inventory
systems. Testing and user acceptance will be performed prior to
deployment.

Project Title: E-Grocer Internet Project with Same-Day
Delivery Service
Project ID:
Sponsoring Organization:
Sponsor Representative:
Prepared By: Group – C
Version: 1
Project Authorization: November 2015
Project Category: Strategic
Project Start Date: November 2015
Project Finish Date: December 2015
Project Description:
A new Web-based service from Corner Market, Inc. is proposed:
Get same-day or overnight delivery on everything in the store
(perishable and non-perishable items). The operations will be
located inside company stores with the “storefront” being an
area of the existing Corner Market retail website. A diverse
team of professionals will design and test new technology and
logistics capabilities for the new delivery service.
Business Need:
175. The delivery service will corner the market of consumers that
may not have the means or time to go to the market for their
essentials. This service is ‘forward-thinking’ and will help us to
develop a strategic change in existing operations and result in
major cost savings that could mean the difference between
future market success and failure.
Company Strategic Plan:
Trial period for same-day and overnight delivery services will
begin in a few select cities as a prototype. A number of new
cities will be launched within two years from the present date.
Project Goal
Given the business need, the goal of our project is to continue
to provide excellent customer service – albeit from a different
method. We aim to do this by allowing consumers to shop their
local Corner Market from the comfort of their home, office, etc.
via our Website, and choose when and where they want
delivery.
Measurable Objectives
In business terms, our objectives are to increase market share
and revenues by 10%. This is obtainable by providing excellent
customer service, a fully functioning and easy-to-use Webstore,
and by providing the best prices to our customers.
