He had spent much of his time planning and conducting interviewswith key stakeholders inside the company. He had also worked with the marketing groupto put together some focus groups made up of loyal customers, to get some ideas aboutwhat they would value in a customer loyalty program. Jim had also spent some timestudying customer loyalty programs at other big retail chains and those in otherindustries as well, such as the airlines, known for their extensive customer loyaltyprograms. As project manager, he had also supervised the efforts of his team members.Together, they had collected a great deal of data. Jim had just finished creating a high-level summary of the information into a table he could send to his team members (PETable 5-1 D).From the list of requirements, it was clear that he and his team did not favor building asystem from scratch in-house. Jim was glad that the team felt that way. Not only wasbuilding a system like this in-house an antiquated practice, it was expensive and timeconsuming. As nice as it might have been to develop a unique system just for Petrie's,there was little point in reinventing the wheel. The IT staff would customize the systeminterface, and there would be lots of work for Sanjay's staff in integrating the new systemand its related components with Petrie's existing systems, but the core of the systemwould have already been developed by someone else.Just as he was finishing the e-mail he would send to his team about the new system'srequirements and constraints, he received a new message from Sanjay. He had askedSanjay to take the lead in scouting out existing customer loyalty systems that Petrie'scould license. Sanjay had conducted a preliminary investigation that was now complete.His e-mail contained the descriptions of three of the systems he had found and studied(PE Table 5-2 L). Obviously, Jim and his team would need to have a lot moreinformation about these alternatives, but Jim was intrigued by the possibilities. He sent areply to Sanjay, asking him to pass the alternatives on to the team, and also asking himto prepare a briefing for the team that would include more detailed information abouteach alternative.

An information system (IS) auditor was asked to review the alignment between information technology (IT) and business goals for Cachero, a small but rapidly growing financial institution. The IS auditor requested information including business and IT goals and objectives; however, these were limited to a short, bulleted list for business goals and PowerPoint slides used in reporting meetings for IT goals.

The IS auditor also discovered that Cachero does not have a full-time chief information officer (CIO). The organizational…
