2INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Summary
The project is based on the implementation of SAP system for Yes Chemist Pty. Ltd. The
SAP system will enable the company to integrate their business system into one common server
using a single operation platform. The central server will enable the organization to establish a
central monitoring and control function so that the all the operations in the different retails can be
tracked and reported. Another benefit of the project is that the errors and delay in operations
caused by manual handling of the systems will be addressed with automated control of all the
operations. Furthermore, SAP will also provide business intelligence that will help in more
efficient handling of all the business operations in addition to analytics, accounting and other
important functions.
