A department store company with stores in 11 cities is planning to install a network so that stores can transmit daily sales by item to headquarters and store salespeople can fill customer orders from merchandise held at the nearest store. Management believes that having daily sales statistics will permit better inventory management than is the case now with weekly deliveries of sales reports on paper. Salespeople have been asking about online inventory availability as a way to retain the customers that now go to another company's stores when merchandise is not available. The planning committee anticipates many more applications so that in a short time the network would be used at or near its capacity. As the planning committee identified the many applications that the proposed network could support, the committee realized that a significant risk could be: A. Incomplete, inadequately tested, or unauthorized application software. B. Inability to obtain needed network components from vendors as usage increases. C. Patent and trademark violations when using new application software. D. Lack of enthusiasm for installing and using the new network in the stores. |
