Abstract With the every changing world of technology in today’s technology driven world there is a pressing need for strategic planning. “Most business organizations invest considerable time and energy completing strategic plans that typically cover five or more years” (Satzinger, Jackson & Burd, 2011). With strategic planning comes a series of questions that need to be asked: Where the company is right now and what can we do to be here in the future? This essay will discuss the future of Reliable Pharmaceutical Service over the next five years.
Application Architecture Plan Information systems are designed to be a working unit in the companies they are deployed in and if there is to be any discussion of changing this fact there is usually the need to completely revamp the entire network system. This is the case with Reliable Pharmaceutical Service (RPS). The network system has outgrown the requirements of relied upon outside network requirements for streamlined billing. RPS uses several application to accomplish a single billing transaction when revamping the system will allow them to process billing to agencies and individuals of their choice from a single application. This new application architecture plan will incorporate streamlining this and many other areas of RPS in order for them to be competitive in today’s market and expand to other states. RPS, as stated in the text, is a privately held company incorporated in 1975 in Albuquerque New Mexico. In 1990 RPS expanded its service to include Santa Fe, Las Cruces, and Gallup. This expansion included two twelve hour delivery shifts and was successful in increasing profits until they hit a steady decline in revenue in 2008. The issues being faced are from competition, price controls, and more importantly inefficient
