In the previous period, net profits were roughly $10 million on $8.7 billion in revenues. However, Classic is experiencing negative publicity, declining stock prices, as well as the rising costs of fuel and labor over the past year. Furthermore the destructive reports coupled with low employee morale resulted in Classic's Board of Directors requiring a 15 percent cost reduction over the next 18 months. Management must quickly act to implement a nine-step problem solving method to overcome the obstacles and provide solutions to meet the cost cutting measures.

The underutilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) is well documented. In this segment of the economy companies are slow to integrate ICT technologies into operation for a variety of reasons. One recent study found that SME exporters in Latin America who were surveyed found that nearly a third of these firms had not taken sufficient advantage of ICT technologies; less than half used any sort of customer relationship management (CRM) software and of these most were email based, more than half did not use social networks, less than fifteen percent had an automated sales website, and seventeen percent used international distributers to assist them in promoting their products (Rogers, 2012).

Having grown both from a series of acquisitions and a continual series of internal strategies to retain and grow their customer base, Aux Bons Soins (ABS) Information Technologies (IT) infrastructure has grown widely distributed to the point of being fragmented. The acquisitions of General Maritime Protection and Western General Insurance have created significant challenges in integrating their IT infrastructures into the ABS IT systems platforms and architectures. The senior management team anticipated a certain degree of overlap of system licensing, resources, functions and roles, yet didn't realize how much the duplication would slow response to customers. Concerned with the slow response to customers and market conditions, in addition to the continual discovery of just how inconsistent the reporting processes are across the three divisions, the senior management team initiates the Integrated Management System and Processes (IMSP) project. The IMSP looks to avert the duplication of effort between the two recently acquired companies and ABS, while also consolidating reporting across the accounting and financial management systems, human resource management (HRM), marketing and sales management including the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. At the beginning of the case analysis the senior management team at ABS considers the three separate, highly decentralized system to be a competitive advantage as they are seen being more agile and responsive to the market. This assumption quickly proves false however as the most fundamental reports can't be produced across the entire company quickly enough to make decision quickly. As studies have shown, decentralized IT systems and architectures often lead to significant delays in reporting and analysis of critical aspects of a business' operations (Jackson, 2011). This was certainly happening at ABS, causing the company to lose valuable time and potential cost reduction strategies, in addition to sacrificing greater insight into customers as a result. With the decision to integrate all three business units into a single, unified IT architecture based on the core concepts of the Integrated Management System and Processes (IMSP) project framework, ABS was able to begin solving serious problems in their IT systems performance. An assessment of the causes of the problems or difficulties of the distributed IT architecture are included in this analysis is also provided. This paper also includes is an analysis of the critical success factors that companies need to consider when deciding to change enterprise-wide IT systems. Foremost among these is the need for planning and executing an effective change management strategy company-wide.

Business organizations have to keep themselves abreast of the changes in their business environment.
