GLOBAL INFORMATION SYSTEM STRATEGY 2
Introduction
From the outlined IT strategic plan of Shore& More Bicycles Company, few facts come
out clearly regarding the challenges this company is facing and which can be linked to its current
IT systems. Integration in a business organization means everything because apart from
simplifying organization operations, it helps in coordinating different departments of the
organization. Secondly, the current systems of Shore& More Bicycles Company had been
designed without the consideration of the scalability factor and that will limit the expansion of
the organization (AlBar & Hoque, 2015). Thirdly, organization data security is not up to the
standard, especially during the current cybersecurity era. I would propose the adoption of Cloud
Enterprise Resource Management System which will adequately take care of the above mention
shortcomings of the current Shore& More Bicycles Company systems.
Through this type of ERP, Shore& More Bicycles Company will stand a position to
manage the different sectors of its operations such as inventory, purchasing and customer
relationship management (Johansson, Alajbegovic, Alexopoulo & Desalermos, 2015).
Additionally, this type of ERP system will be customized to include modules for finance and
human capital management since it’s a business organization. Unlike the on-premises systems
which the company has been using, cloud ERP will increase the accessibility through the internet
and enable users to transfer and share information across different business departments in real
time (Jain & Sharma, 2016). The system will also be equipped with backup and disaster recovery
plans right from the service provider to minimize real-time interruptions to the business
operations.
