The interesting nature of Foremostco Company’s operations were the enablement of a new programming of an application that was tailor-made with business logic instead of buying packaged software from reputable firms. The company needed to include manipulation of various fields within the purchase order such as automatic updates on the vendor amounts, pricing, cutting, and the older entries sold. In addition, the use of an extra decimal point n representation for the dollar required sufficient degree of manipulation and articulation without compromising on the company’s business manifold. Despite the challenge presented by the demands of specific changes and development of the application software, the firm did not renege on using the proprietary database, the server of the SQL to store data and enhance the use. The organization was set on achieving the deadline within a year as projected by the managers.

The confusing detail of Foremostco Company’ operations were the subsequent hiring and firing of Information Technology personnel on the sensitive department required to avail the application software that would determine the company’s fate in executing its mandate. The first casualty of the sacking was Carl, who was instrumental in making sure that the traffic module of the data and software were in synchrony. This was despite the fact that the immediate boss at the time had no knowledge of the requirements in IT. Incoming members of the additional programming demands were also under scrutiny by the same manager without top-level analysis of the project’s progress. The sales and surplus modules were not in any way affected as their mandate require integration of the acquired data. The use of external programming slowed the process and efficient execution.
