Club It Part 2

Club IT is a music venue and nightclub located downtown and is owned by Lisa Tejada and Ruben

Keys. The owners went into business together and have successfully operated the club, introducing

their clientele to local talent as well as performing themselves. Although Lisa and Ruben have managed

to use their college background to run the business, the process of managing and growing the business

has presented certain challenges that over time could develop into major problems, setbacks and

could have an impact on the business as a whole. The staff has indicated that to become more

productive and efficient, systems need to be implementing when dealing with resources, customers and

the supply chain and vendors.

After interviewing the staff and listening to their concerns I have determined that the Rapid

Application Development method is the best method to address these concerns with the day-to-day

operation of the business. This method will produce a high-quality system because it is combined with

JAD, prototyping and integrated CASE tools, and the new system can also be developed at a much faster

pace. Changes can be implemented by the end-users to the system as it is needed, and as the business

progresses. During my IT analysis I have noticed that there are three business problems that can be

solved by using the Rapid Development Method. Software such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP),

Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Supply Chain Management (SCM), will also help

manage the business efficiently and work with the issues associated with their IT status.

The first business problem that I will address is the dial-up connection that the club is currently using

at Club IT. The owners indicated that their main clientele is mostly Net Generation and

Millennials, and that on a regular basis they use mobile technologies such as Blackberries, PDAs, camera
