PFM Devices
To: Boss
From: Kelly Shaw
Date: July 17, 2017
Subject: PFM Devices
My apologies for not being present at the meeting with CRJD
Consultant Group. I have reviewed the consultant’s presentation along with
their recommendation on how to move forward and I agree with their position to
implement a data warehouse first. This system will aid in our four
objectives:
1. Increase Market share by
2 % (33% to 35%)
2. Decrease opex to less
than 62% of sales
3. Increase
access/visibility to financial, inventory and sales data on a global basis
4.
Reduce inventory levels by 10 % globally
Implementing
the data warehouse over the CRM system will not result in greater profits
initially; however, it provides some security should the economy plummet. During
economic hardship, sales will be expected to decline which makes having a low
operating expense desirable.
A data warehouse will
also positively impact your company in the customer service aspect as well as
employee satisfaction. Employees will have a higher level of accuracy when
taking inventory and be able to communicate globally with ease which will
assist in our goal of reducing inventory by 10%. As a result, the customer’s
needs will be met much more efficiently which ultimately improves their overall
experience.
That
being said, moving forward with the data warehouse project is the best course
of action for the company. If you have any further questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Re: Junk

Mr.
Kingo,
I
apologize for the inconvenience I may have caused by not being present at this morning’s
meeting. After thoroughly reviewing the presentation from our consultants, I
agree with their recommendation. Our current IT system is archaic and puts our
company at a serious disadvantage compared to our competitors and in regards to
potential growth. Therefore, my recommendation is to accept the platform
service offer presented by our consultants.
Currently,
our company’s most critical problem within our IT system is a result of human
error. The long-lasting effects of human error should not be perceived as minuscule to the success of our company. Not only are our customers displeased
with the time lag’s that are occurring, it has the potential to become a much
larger problem than just unhappy consumers. To give you an example, Amazon’s
cloud recently experienced an outage for an hour which caused a ripple effect
to several other businesses and platforms. The cause; HUMAN ERROR! This simple mistake
made by one person was estimated to cause $310
million in lost revenue for US Financial Service Companies and S&P 500
Companies.
An
annual cost of approximately $45,00 is a small price to pay for taking the
appropriate preventative measures for our business ensure its growth potential.
Customer retention and acquisition are also crucial if we want to succeed. Two studies
I researched showed that the probability of selling to existing customer and
new customers are 60-70% and 5-20%, respectively and that 80% of future sales
will stem from existing customers. Minimizing the risk of losing these
opportunities with our consumers is a top priority! An updated IT system will
do just that.
Please
let me know what your thoughts are. I look forward to speaking with you
regarding this matter. Thank you!

Visio
To:
Dr. Peterson
From:

Re:
Visio
Memorandum
Recently,
there has been talk of implementing the use of Microsoft Visio for every
employee in our organization. I don’t think it is necessary to give access of
this program to every employee however, Visio has capabilities that would certainly
benefit our top management team during their meetings and presentations.
It
is important for information to be clear and concise when it is being presented
to other individuals. Visio provides graphic capabilities such as flowcharts
and graphs that make information easier to comprehend. For example, financial information
is presented quarterly to our employees and shareholders. Often, there are
situations where certain jargon used in the financial world is not understood
by other departments. Visio, which is compatible with other Microsoft
Applications such as excel, can easily transfer financial data in a spreadsheet
to a drawing or graph which makes the information easier to digest for
nonfinancial individuals.
Providing
visuals ultimately help reinforce key information and make complex information more
transparent. As a result, less time is being wasted trying to analyze a cluster
of information. Management is able to quickly analyze information with just a
glance and make any adjustments needed to enhance operations and save money.
To
ease any concerns about the costs associated with installing Visio for top
management, there is a 30 day free trial available. This will be provide an
estimate of how long it would take for one to familiarize themselves with the
application and begin utilizing its capabilities. For those members of top
management who are struggling or unfamiliar with Visio, there is a monthly
webcast that offers training and tricks for free. After the trial period and seeing the impact
it has on company’s presentation abilities and information retention, it can be
purchased for $13.00 per user each with an annual contract. There are 20 people in our top management team which totals an additional $260.00 in costs for the use of Microsoft Visio. This cost in minimal compared to the enhancements that will our company will see as a result.
Please provide me with your thoughts and any additional feedback. Look forward to hearing from you!
Best
Regards,
Kelly Shaw
