    This question is the problem that Riordan Manufacturing has had for many years. Recently, Riordan executive management hired a new Chief Information Officer (CIO) to improve its infrastructure and to answer this question. While management wants to use more IS and IT solutions throughout the organization, it has had trouble finding the perfect fit in all aspects of its operations. Even though IS and IT costs have risen, the puzzle pieces still have not come together; the value and benefit has not been clear to the company. As we will see throughout this review, it is time to focus and find the value that technology and information brings to the organization. It is time to find the efficiencies and savings that the company needs to clearly see the value.

There has also got to be value in using outside services such as Application…

    Custom Machine Company Inc. (CMCI), a subsidiary of International Machine & Tools, operates two plants in Ft. Wayne and Chicago. These plants have played a game of patch-up and catch-up with their information technology. Hardware and software developed for one specific purpose often ends up serving several other different uses. In late 1998, it became apparent that the information technology – specifically the process control software and mainframes – has been stretched too thin, and needs updating and revising before the shortcomings of these systems reach a crisis level affecting production.…
