1.1.1. Existing business process for CC Music:
CC music has realized that technology has been playing a vital role in their business. Till
now they are found to publicise the band through websites. They have been dealing with every
booking arrangements through phones. Further, they have been receiving contracts and payments of
cheques with the help of posts. It is also seen they their six band members have been turning up and
playing. Presently the band has played a minimum of twelve gigs every year. Nevertheless, this has
been to rise likely in substantially (Schaltegger, Lüdeke-Freund and Hansen 2016). Currently, they
are able to omit more time for promotions and networking. This current situation indicates they are
required to consider a more professional approach. Additionally, various other bands are asked
whether they can represent them for any committed fee. Considered to be a vocational route, it
indicates the notable time to work as the music agents for promoting all the other artists. Thus, they
lack suitable software for Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise management. They are
unaware to understand what type of specific information technology support is required by them as
SME or small to medium enterprise (Thompson, Strickland and Gamble 2015). Moreover, they need
essential advice on professional information technology before making any ultimate decisions
regarding investments funds under business software. Further, they are keen over their efficiency of
Open Source Software for keeping the expense minimal. At the current stage, they have lacked the
democratic style and all the people needs the same amount of vote on business decisions.

manner. This is performed and scrutinized in the most effective voice in the latest music heather by
public figures, administrators, musical performers, improvers and composers. Suitable and proper

Weakness:
It can be assessed in the firm of CC music. It has been entailing the lesser levels of funding.
They have risen in dependability on the arts of the scarce public. Since most of the members from
the institutions never have the resources for undertaking private partnership as the notable
contributions emanating from those themselves. It has been confusing and complicated around the
area. This is because every distinct project has been bringing problems and challenges that originate
from artistic, administrative and diverse practices (Leinonen 2017). Here, the variations between the
levels of funding have been varying the project qualities. This is because there has been no stable
system to fund the projects. Moreover, other weakness has been the disappearance of prominent and
vibrant information management of the five latest music. This is enabled with classical music.
Moreover, there is the development of social media that has found to be not going right. This is on
the innovation on-ground as the deals are never striking. Lastly, the diversification of media products
has not been successful.
Opportunities:
Firstly, there is the achieving of more synergies taking place between the media business and
advertisings. Next, there is the rise of 3D viewing and digital media for greater revenue at lesser
costs. Then, there is the rise in the presence of international channels in vast growing sectors like
Africa, Asia and so on.
Threats:
This involves the more significant payments of interest and restructuring of expense for CC
Media. Besides, there are lesser advertising that is spent by CC music.
