In order to gain an average of thirty percent online, it should streamline its operations by centralizing the product information and digital assets. Jimmy Beans should implement three IT initiatives to achieve its business strategy. a) Implement a Product Information Management (PIM) system to control product information b) Implement a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system to store and manage digital assets. Integrate PIM with DAM system for publishing the product information and asset to ecommerce website c) Implement Google Analytics to gain insights on website and take data driven decisions. Jimmy Beans should not invest in high cost technology until it is ready to scale and should possibly try to keep low capital and operating expenditures. With the implementation of IT initiatives over three years, the company would achieve ROI of 20.43%. Description of the Business Jimmy Beans Wool is an ecommerce company that sells yarn online and fabric in retail store located in Reno, Nevada. Jimmy Beans wool was creative in use of social media and established a loyal follower online, particularly for the company posted product reviews and instructional videos in YouTube. In five years that company started, the company realized 50 percent organic growth from 2007 to 2012, reaching $1 million in sales, which increased to $7 million in 2013 (Seeking even faster growth, and E-commerce Company stumbles (April 2014)). IT STRATEGY 3 In its unrealistic pursuit to grow rapidly and hit the $100 million sale target in a very short timeline, founders Laura and Doug Zander, tried several strategies to achieve the rapid growth, however, the sales fell flat and the cash burn rate was increasing. In an effort to double the sales rapidly, the company, which was known for yarn, also started selling fabric by putting an investment of $150,000 in inventory. The company increased its retail footprint by moving from a 3500 square feet foot space into 20,000 square feet and an additional $25,000 investment towards renovations and remodeling. Ms. Zander increased the marketing staff from a team of four to eight. None of these measures increased the sales of the company. Eventually, the founders stopped taking salaries, paid employees from personal savings and were forced to restrategize the growth plans. To bring back the company on track, the company management, should decide on realistic goals and implement the business and IT strategy. IT Strategy Proposal IT Strategy doesn’t simply refer to set of IT plans but is a holistic combination of demand, control and supply factors (Aaron, 2009). IT strategy should align with the business strategy of the company. Before finalizing the IT initiatives, it is recommended that the company adopt the following business strategy of cutting down the unnecessary expansion costs and sticking with the organic growth (Turban, Volonino & Wood, 2015). The steps below detail the implementation steps of business strategy: 1) Focus on yarn production as the major source of revenue. Fabric component can be only small component of the target sales. 2) Cut down the marketing team from team of eight to four. 3) Focus on online sales rather than opening new brick and mortar stores. 4) Invest in eCommerce platform to grow online global sales and gain loyal customers. IT STRATEGY 4 As part of its business strategy to grow eCommerce revenues, the following IT initiatives are proposed: Implement an Product Information Management (PIM) system As the number of products in enterprise grow significantly, it would become difficult to manage the product data. Many retail companies have successfully implemented PIM system, which is essential to centrally manage the product information required to sell and market products (Boyd, 2006). This product data in turn is distributed to target channels such as websites and print catalogs. By implementing the PIM system, Jimmy Beans Wool would achieve product data view which is accurate, timely and consistent (Power, 2010). This would also avoid the cost of duplication of products. By implementing the PIM, Jimmy Beans would establish the groundwork for an enterprise view of its business operations. An enterprise scale PIM products such as Hybris, STIBO would typically have ability to integrate with ecommerce portals driven by Oracle or Adobe web engines. Apart from centralizing the product information, PIM can also integrate with a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. As the number of products grow significantly in number, Jimmy Beans can use the product data in PIM for insights in business analytics which would empower the company to make data driven decisions. Implement a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system DAM is a classification of Enterprise Content Management tools. For Jimmy Beans, it is recommended to have a digital asset management (DAM) to achieve the goal of managing the asset lifecycle. Any eCommerce business should have right process and systems to manage the content lifecycle, which includes digital asset creation, storage, distribution to users, publishing to different channels, and asset retirement (Regli, 2009). A digital asset can be defined as any IT STRATEGY 5 digital information that is of value to the company. To grow online sales, Jimmy Beans should store its digital assets such as product images, product manuals, product documentation, marketing content and instructional videos in a central digital asset management system. From a systems architecture perspective, DAM can be integrated with PIM and the content can be published to web. There are several DAM product vendors such as OpenText, Adobe, a DAM which enable the integration with PIM. By implementing a PIM-DAM integrated system, Jimmy Beans Wool can achieve the following wins: • Reduce operational costs by having a centralized repository for all common marketing materials (Spark, 2003) • Improve time to market by reducing asset development life cycle through automation • Decrease risk of rights infringement by limiting the asset sharing based on the rights that are available on the particular asset • Increase visibility of asset effectiveness by creating asset usage reports • Improve usability and performance by workflow driven collaboration between the teams and units Implement standard Google Analytics on eCommerce platform After the successful implementation of PIM-DAM system and content publish to website, Jimmy Beans should focus on applying analytics on the eCommerce portal. The company should track web analytics using freemium tools such as Google Analytics standard version (Farney and McHale, 2013). By gaining insights on the customer interaction on websites, the company can effectively plan the business and take data driven decisions based on historical performance. This would help the company in demand forecasting for peak seasons such as thanksgiving and IT STRATEGY 6 holidays. The company can also track the effectiveness of online promotions and improve the strategy iteratively based on the key insights. As Jimmy Beans Wool continues to expand, a core strategy of ensuring longevity and sales expansion is to grow the loyal customers, who can act as the virtual brand ambassadors for the company. By implementing analytics tool on the web, the company can establish the key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Net Promoter Score (NPS) which would measure the extent the customers would recommend the products to others. The data can also be combined with the results from social media to provide a holistic view of customer’s relationship with the company. For example, while promoting the company pages in Facebook and twitter, the company can combine and leverage the insights in designing an online promotional campaign. Overall, using analytics would enable Jimmy Beans Wool management to understand its customer and use the valuable information for predictive modeling and business planning. Sourcing Strategy As PIM and DAM are specialized systems, outside expertise from experienced service integrators would be required to rollout the systems. As part of implementation plan, external consultants would conduct the definition and design phase. The in-house IT team in Jimmy Beans can ask for the best practices and recommendations from the consultants to ensure the scalability and effectiveness of system. During development, a mix of both internal and external teams would work together for product customization and integration. This would enable Jimmy Beans to gain the technical know-how and ensure that it can support the systems in long run. Also, to reduce the development costs, the external service provider would integrate the software using an offshore development team. The financials reflect the cost of employing external consultants during development. IT STRATEGY 7 Financial Case The primary significant cost for rolling out PIM and DAM systems is the enterprise product licensing costs. As indicated in Table 1, the licensing cost for the product is $400,000. It is recommended that the PIM and DAM products are purchased as a SAS model and be hosted in Amazon cloud to minimize the on-premise hardware costs. The second highest cost would be the actual implementation costs with hybrid model of internal and external teams, which is to the tune of $230,000. Other implementation costs such as data migration ($25,000) and change management costs such as training costs ($20,000) have been factored in. The typical revenue growth of Jimmy Beans annually is $1 million. With the implementation of IT initiatives, the company would gain an estimated 20% to 36% increase in sales over 3 years. This projection meets the organic growth target of Jimmy Beans and is achievable for its revenue size in online commerce. Moreover, the company can cut down its marketing team which is reflected in savings in reduced personal costs. Furthermore, by avoiding the duplication of creation of digital assets and centralizing, the company can just focus on online advertising compared to the traditional advertising costs incurred with marketing agencies. The complete cost benefit analysis details are captured in Table 1. It can be inferred that the projected ROI for the IT initiatives is 20.43% which is good for a retailer. With a positive NPV and IRR of 11.46%, Jimmy Beans Wool would reap its benefits within 3 years.

To establish the product taxonomy, it is recommended that Jimmy Beans implements PIM first followed by DAM with a timeline overlap in year one. The integration of PIM-DAM systems can have rolled out within a 9-month timeline. Assuming a start date of 3/1/17, below is the high-level overview of the timeline for the three IT initiatives: Activity Start End PIM implementation 3/1/17 8/31/17 DAM implementation 6/1/17 8/31/17 PIM-DAM integration 9/1/17 10/31/17 PIM-DAM deploy and training 11/1/17 11/30/17 Google Analytics 3/1/18 3/31/18 There is a three month overlap between PIM and DAM implementation. The third initiative Google Analytics would be rolled out in year 2 as it would be applied on website which would be supported by a PIM-DAM system. Hence, it is logical to apply Google Analytics once the PIM-DAM system integration is rolled out and stability is achieved. The standard product for Google Analytics doesn’t incur licensing costs and is easy to set up from an in house IT team member. Plan for Sustaining the IT Initiatives As part of the implementation of IT initiatives in Jimmy Beans, a governance team would be formed who would support the initiatives. The representative governance body is shown in IT STRATEGY 11 table below. This would constitute sponsors who would support the investments, process improvement team to implement the best practices in the process, a governance body on PIM and DAM taxonomy, a project manager who would lead the project rollouts, and a software support team. Role Description Name/Title Provide executive support for Executive Sponsor John Doe, VP Operations the project Provides all technology support Charlie Ray, VP Information Technology Support for the project Technology Advises team on process Process Improvement Jim Jones, Process Team Lead improvement techniques Provides taxonomy Taxonomy improvements for changing Matt Uvena, Taxonomy Lead Governance business needs Manages the IT implementation Project Manager Sonny Smith, Project Manager and project team Provides all software support Timothy Day, Software Group for the project Lead Software Support In implementing the projects, project and change management KPIs per ITIL frameworks would be used to govern the IT work. The PMO and IT teams in Jimmy Beans would measure IT STRATEGY 12 KPIs such as adherence to project budget to assess the financial impact and project delays to assess the schedule impact. The governance committee would ensure that the business objectives are achieved during the implementation of project. Summary Jimmy Beans Wool should focus on growing online sales globally for its yarn and fabric products. To enable the company for online growth, it is recommended that Jimmy Beans centralize and streamline its product catalog by implementing three step IT initiatives. Firstly, the company should implement a PIM system to store all the product information. Secondly, a DAM system should be rolled out to store and manage the digital assets. The PIM and DAM systems, with a three-month timeline overlap, would be integrated as part of an overall nine month IT rollout plan in year one. Finally, the integrated PIM-DAM system enabling the Jimmy Beans Wool website would be reinforced by Google Analytics to gain data insights which would be used for predictive modeling, forecasting and understanding customer. By implementing the proposed IT initiatives, Jimmy Beans Wool would gain an average of thirty percent growth in online sales in three years. This would also cut down the unnecessary costs for the company, streamline its operations and ensure the scalability of operations.

Jimmy Bean’s Wool IT Strategy
Introduction
As found in the previous analysis, Jimmy Bean’s wool current woes can be attributed to
diversifying beyond yarn to the fabric business without considering the impact that this would
have on the business. The results were that the company experienced lower performance even
after investing so much capital in advertising their new line of products (Gardella, 2014). This
decline is attributed to the fact that the company did not use an IT strategy that was favorable.
Before this incident, the business had had a good performance up to 2013 due to their use of
YouTube, an IT channel, to market products and gain a loyal following. This being the case, it
would definitely be prudent for the company to employ three IT strategies for a turn around.
These strategies include:
1. Implementation of E-Guides for their customers who would want to know how to use
their products.
2. Implement web-conferencing technologies to reduce transport and administrative costs
for the client.
3. Use Google analytics for web data analysis and visualization
In employing these strategies, the company must use lower cost alternatives which have
proven record of better and unparalleled performance. Doing this will bring the company many
advantages including better customer acquisition and retention and reduced costs for the overall
management of the business. This is shown in details in the returns financials presented in this
document. By the end of it, the business will be able to achieve a 20.43% ROI after 3 years.

IT STRATEGY

Jimmy Bean’s Wool is a small scale yarn and fabric company which started its operations
in 2002. The company was founded by two IT professionals who took it to newer heights
through their use of YouTube advertisements to raise awareness about the use of yarn. The first
ten years of the company were nothing but enviable. The company registered steady growth,
having 7 Million dollars in sales before a strategic miscalculation led it to poor performance.
Various particulars of the company are known. Their competitors are in the fabric business and
most of their customers came to them for their yarn business.
Upon the introduction of the fabric business, there was a slump in the number of
customers that they were serving. This unravels another aspect about the business, it is cash
strained owing to the increased spending that they went through to popularize the business with
no tangible returns to show. For instance, they rented more space, 20,000 Square feet which
added 25,000 dollars for remodeling. Besides this, there are many employees such that the wage
