An Is Plan for Consulado Bar and Lounge

I. Rational and Scope of the Information System Strategic Plan

A. Purpose of the Plan

The plan is to put up a system that would automate and make transactions easier and more effective for the company. The purpose of automating the systems is to simplify and increase efficiency that would lead to better sales and market status as well as attract potential customers and retain current clients and compete with other industries that are also in the same industry. The plan will also improve services like order transactions and other services, which would increase customer relations because they will have a mindset that Consulado will make sure that they are prioritized and attended to properly.

The automation will include installing a Database with sufficient data storage compared to the present database, which allows more information and less risk to slow data retrieval. This will ensure a faster and more organized way of data storing for Consulado. Automating the system using the Point of Sale system (POS) for the sales department will also be recommended. This will automate all sales related procedures by using data found in the Database. Next is the use of Microsoft software, which would allow the marketing staff to easily record and access marketing strategies done in the past or for future references. The last recommendation to be done is the creation of an online website which showcases the different areas, events, staff and company details to the customer. The website aims to grab the attention of interested customers as well as the continued support of past customers.
