| Tiivistelmä: | Today's retailers need responsive information systems to maintain their competitive edge. For some they will be sophisticated, using telecommunication satellites. For others, a simple system to manage inventory will suffice. A case is described and analyzed to illustrate two approaches to automating a retail business. The first was a conversion from an existing system, the second a start up. The first decided on a package , the second custom developed. The first has a minicomputer host, the second a PC network. Several interesting details of the systems development and implementation are scrutinized. |
