Identify and briefly discuss four key tasks associated with the successful implementation of a
software package.
You are acquiring a new information system for
The Fitness Center, a company with three fitness
centers in your metropolitan area, with a total of
1,200 members and 20 to 30 full and part-time
employees in each location. Through previous
research efforts, the director of marketing has
determined that your clientele is interested in a
state-of-the-art software system to track all their
fitness and health-related activities. Each piece
of equipment in the gym will be modified to
allow entry of the member’s ID number, recording the date, time of day, weight used, and
number of reps or workout length. Members and
fitness consultants want to be able to log in to
the system from any computer or mobile device
and see displays of various reports (calories
burned, muscle groups worked, blood pressure,
distance run, steps taken, etc.) for a userspecified time period. Use word-processing
software to identify at least six high-priority
requirements for such a system. Use a
spreadsheet or project management program to
identify and schedule the tasks that must be
performed in order to choose the best software
package and implement it.
