Week 2 Riordan Manfacturing

M E M O R A N D U M

To: Maria Trinh From: Hugh McCauley Date: September 10, 2003 Re: IT Special Project CC: Michael Riordan; Dale Edgel As we have discussed, over time our use of technology to support continuing business operations and our plans for growing the business has been haphazard at best. Therefore, I have included $150,000 in your FY04 operating budget to fund a project that will include, but not be limited to:

• Document current environment • Forecast of business technology needs for the next 5 years • Recommendations on systems integration, acquisitions and consolidations

Please prepare a RFP for my review that will, at a minimum, accomplish the above.
