a strong relationship, all infrastructures that were created became non-functional. As a result, Timex
had no distribution channels, no point of sale systems and even no databases in place to sustain
business in the Indian continent. For the CIO of the Timex, it was a challenging task of setting the
priority right and creates a strong IT infrastructure to receive the business. The parent company in the
US was using Oracle based ERP system to manage all its business transactions, so the Indian

stage, the IT department decided to create inventory, billing and order management systems.

Various technological solutions were evaluated and tested to transfer the pos data back to the
company?s main data server for intelligent data processing. The watch industry is quite dynamic in
nature as the styles, textures, and trends keep changing very fast. In order to keep analyzing the
buying patterns and demand analysis, the company needs the complete POS data on real time basis
for data analytics. To achieve this, the company decided to implement power builder software to
connect its POS terminals with the central databases. The proposed system was email based batch
processing system, which will send e-mail to the data centre at the end of the day. All e-mail received
from various vendors are validated and uploaded into the Oracle ERP for managers to view and
analyze. The biggest challenge of implementing this system was to cut implementation and running
costs as they had limited funds available for too many technological developments.
Questions:
(a) What was the strategy followed by CIO of Timex?
(b) Why Timex concentrated on developing POS network?
