Zara Reflection



Fellow C Levels,

Subsequent to the consultant’s presentation and our internal meetings I recommend we keep our current legacy information system.  As evidenced by our expanding retail footprint and continuous revenue growth our current IT system has served us well.  Our approach to retail sales is based upon providing a unique customer focused shopping experience and I’m not confident we have discovered a means to convert out POS system without compromising the shopping experience.  

It’s worth noting that we will need to upgrade our POS system in the future and we must continue to research our options and develop a concise transformation plan.  One specific item that we should consider is upgrading our POS and operations system to an enterprise resource system.   It’s undeniable that upgrading our POS will alter the way we conduct business.  To harness all the value of upgrading we should completely transform our IT system.  The costs associated with such an upgrade will be substantial however my preliminary costs estimates indicate that a 2.631% increase in net income will cover the costs of such an upgrade.  Let schedule a meeting next Tuesday to discuss this matter further.
