You have been hired as CIO for a small independent auto-parts store - Northwest Georgia Auto Parts. The store has been in operation for five years and has grown substantially over that time. At the time the store opened, they had a small server that kept track of inventory, including purchasing and ordering from vendors, and took care of the sales/return transactions. The software was purchased. Payroll is contracted out to an outside vendor. There are three point-of-sale registers connected to the server. The system has gotten very slow and frequently goes down. The owner has two IT technicians working for the store - but knows that he needs a more robust IT operation - thus, the hiring of the CIO position.

You will be creating strategies and policies for IT operations, setting up new networks with accompanying hardware/software, creating a "help desk", updating the database, adding payroll to the system, and start the development of an e-commerce operation for the store.
