Management Information Systems

You must write a report on the application of an information system in a specific business.
You should choose a company or organization and investigate a particular information system used by it the system could be an ERP, a transaction processing system,  a CRM system, a POS system etc.  The work must include business name, sector it operates in and system used (therefore custom-built proprietary systems are not allowed). At the very least, the report must include the problem faced by the company, the software system chosen as a solution and how the system helped resolve the problem. The report could also include information on costs, implementation schedule, implementation process or difficulties encountered, possible staff issues faced (e.g. training, redundancy, ethical), post-implementation performance etc. The approach is that of a short case study.
