Sandy Shores Time Shares is one of the largest time-sharing and rental brokers for vacation cottages along the North Carolina coast. After 10 successful years of matching up owners and renters, Sandy Shores decided to upgrade their current reservation and booking system. Tim Burns, the owner of Sandy Shores, asked us, as an IT consultant, for our advice on how to proceed. Questions: 1. What software development and acquisition options should Sandy Shores consider? What option would we recommend and our rationale? 2. As a system analyst, what would our role be in helping Sandy Shores develop/acquire a new system? Would the acquisition option affect our role? Why or why not? 3. Conduct an Internet search of available property management, timeshare rental reservation systems, software, and services that Sandy Shores might consider. What approach would we use to compile an initial shortlist of candidates for further evaluation?
