>Case anlysis 2 short answer questionsYou are the owner of a 10 year old highly successful national widget company (Maritime Widgets Limited – MWL). Over the last 3 years MWL has acquired 3 other competing companies each with different transaction processing systems. Each company operates well on its own but you feel that aggregated data/information would help you manage customers and suppliers more effectively.

You agreed with the speaker as you found the same situation existed in Maritime Widgets even though you felt that you had a good IT infrastructure which according to your IT Director that even though most of the technology was older it was still working well.
