Data Management

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that all organizations, including Starbucks Corporation, must keep track of many types of data, such as payroll, inventory, or even a seating chart for an office, to be as an efficient organization as possible. The author points out that Starbucks, which is a Seattle neighbor of Microsoft, uses Microsoft operating systems and Office packages for its day-to-day operations; Microsoft Excel is a major organizational tool for store and district mangers for the plethora of information needed to coordinate operations. The paper relates that, for the massive operations, the company has instituted heavy firepower from Hewlett Packard and Oracle for their mainframe and database needs.

From the Paper:

"Starbucks as a corporation has over 4,500 retail stores with that number growing daily. But, the company also is a major seller and reseller of both unprocessed coffee and tea products worldwide. New business ventures recently implemented include new equity investments in bottled Frappuccino and DoubleShot coffee drinks as well as a coffee flavored line of premium ice creams. With all of these nuances, any and every aspect of the business requires a sound handle on data management."
