EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this report was to investigate many computers brands, and so
many different styles and speeds of computers on the market to Robert Kerrs
Company. The company is developing and hiring new staffs and also is time to
replace all existing computers and by new ones. Will be included in the survey
how as these desktops, laptops and GPS tracking can help in the performance of
the staffs and consequently the company.

Executive summary
In this case study “Kerr Deliveries” is successful delivery company in NSW. They
are hiring additional staff and need to purchase new computers for staff at the
new locations as well as replace all existing computers within the business
because they are getting old and running slowly. Computers have tremendously
improved the way businesses operate in their respective industries, but specially
with delivery business, it turns to be something essential. Technology has
advanced so remarkably that those who are not using good computers that allow
good apps to are at a major disadvantage against their competitors. In particular,
there are several important advantages that computers can provide to small
businesses. In this report i will recommend which computer to buy for the
company. After researching computer market i believe the company should buy
Samsung brand for all the equipment’s, its important to keep tham all at the
same language, so they can interact within all devices. In this research report
bellow I will explain why Ker Delivery should buy them.

INTRODUCTION
In this case study “Kerr Deliveries” is a small company which is operate by
Robert Kerr and his associates. They provide delivery services by bicycles, vans
and cars for their clients across Sydney and regional NSW. Due to business
expanding at rapid rate ,Robert going to begin operations in Canberra,
Melbourne and Brisbane in couple of months time.

Good computers allow the application of different types of software that can help
businesses keep track of their files, documents, schedules and deadlines.
Computers also will allow Kerr Deliveries to organize all of their information in a
very accessible manner. The ability to store large amounts of data on a computer
is convenient and inexpensive, and saves space. A computer's ability to allow a
company to organize its files efficiently leads to better time management and
productivity.
OVERALL GOALS
Computers can help generate higher sales and profits for businesses via a
company website. Kerr Delivery will now operate online and around the clock to
allow customers to shop for their products and services.

The final goal will be to connect all staff instantly, quick and effective this allows
the dominant operations of a company to remain in-house and empowers the
company to become more independent and less susceptible to errors committed
by outside parties.

METHODOLOGY
The methodology will be based in connection. We will turn every staff more
“Self-Sufficiency” Computers have made staff and companies more self-sufficient
by allowing them to do tasks that previously had to be outsourced. For example,
with this new gear, the field staff (actually delivery driver personnel) they can
now use the newest version of Microsoft Office Software and antivirus software
to complete their tasks, update delivery status on real time and improve service
agility. The Sales staff will also be in advantage, as the new and connected system
that this equipment will provide, they will be able to use the newest version of
software to create marketing materials. This new and connected system also
provide more real time information and managing for the administrative staff,
that will be able to check status of tasks and provide final customers information
and assistance, do online accounting to prepare their own taxes.

FINDING

In conclusion Kerr Delivery face various problems when they started their
business. There is no alternative without using information system in a business
organization. Nowadays, the business environment change rapidly because of
globalization. Every company should keep their information up to date for exist
in this competitive market. Good and fast computers, softwares and equipment’s
can do everything. Using this system organization can collect data from out
sourcing and they can store the data for long as well. They can also communicate
properly within as well as outside the organization. They can use different
software program for operating their business and connect all staff on real time

RECOMMENDATION
After researching computer market i believe the company should buy Samsung
brand for all the equipment’s, its important to keep them all at the same
language, so they can interact within all devices. Ker Delivery should buy them
because they are Cost-Effective by emerging technology makes new tools and
services more affordable Because computers allow work to be done faster and
more efficiently, it is possible for a company to work well with fewer staff. In
addition, with networked and relatively inexpensive computers, the companie
can store data more easily, saving on the cost of outside file storage, and can
avoid having to purchase as many copiers, fax machines, typewriters, and other
such items that were used before computers became popular.

This brand have also a very good and quick system that help speed up other
business operations. The collecting of consumer feedback, ordering of raw
materials, and inspection of products is made quicker through the use of
computers, allowing the company to operate much faster and to produce better
quality results.
This is also the Cheaper of the good brands.

CONCLUSION

Technology changes the definition of the phrase "conduct business." With

computers, you can produce more documents than a typewriter and
mimeograph machine could ever do. Computers simplify business transactions
and enable products and services to be sold across the globe. With them, you can
file and store more information than thousands of file folders and cabinets.

APPENDICES
Models of Collaboration as the Foundation for Collaboration Technologies:
Collaboration is very useful in every organization. According to this article
“collaboration technologies would be more effective and more readily adopted
and accepted if collaboration technology development were guided by models of
collaboration. Model construction plays an important role in software
development today; software developers construct, for example, data models
and object models”. This method has no complexity. Most of the organization
uses this model for their organization. The authors described four type of
collaboration model. Those are as follows:
1) UML (universal modeling language),
2) work flow Modeling,
3) coordination theory model,
4) Goal, objectives, methods, and Selection (GOMS). Here, RTD can use the GOMS
model, as they are doing repetitive job like transporting, and courier service for
their local clients. Different human teams differed substantially in the ways they
interacted and communicated. The GOMS model described how the tasks were
intended to be done, but actual behavior deviated widely from this ostensive
model.

The Internet and DSS: massive, real-time data availability is changing the DSS
landscape: The Internet can serve as a source of massive, micro-level data. In the
article they discuss about the opportunity and challenges in capturing and
utilizing real-time data off the Internet, intranets, or extranets. In the modern
technology The Internet and company intranets and extranets increasingly
provide the opportunity for a firm to obtain repeated observation of individual
choices and actions. Firms now often have access to the information necessary to
track the ‘‘progression to transaction’’. This abundance or rush of real time
information poses significant opportunities and challenges for DSS development
and implementation.RTD has to apply this technology for their business.
According to Bapna et al. (2006) the role of Internet data in developing and
testing new theories and patterns of individual behavior and market
performance. They focused on how such abundance of real-time data offers new
horizons for DSS development and continual recalibration. However, they also
described the emergence of DSS internet’s data rich environments and B2B
system with supply chain management.
