Tom, Diane, John and Karen continue their video conference to discuss problems with the integration of Lowis into APU. Read the conversation and watch the video. What does Diane suggest?
Diane:
So, this is the situation: you want the Accounting department here at Lewis to integrate our IT systems into APU’s. But we don’t have enough people to do it quickly and, if it isn’t finished before the new financial year, we’ll have a problem. So, what can we do?
Karen:
What abouthiringextraIT people?
John:
I don’t think that’s going to work.
Tom:
I agree with you, John. IT people can be expensive and, anyway, they don’t know our two companies.
Diane:
That’s what I think. It’ll take too long to explain everything. But what if you send over some of your accountants to help Robert’s team?
Tom:
Good idea. And how about sending some IT specialists too?
John:
Well, we could always see if there are some IT people here who are able to do it if that’s really necessary.
Karen:
But first, why don’t you check with Robert what extra help he needs with the new system?
John:
Good point, Karen. Tom, can you send over some information as to where the problem is exactly?
Tom:
I’ll do that today.
Diane:
Excellent. And John, if we tell you who we need, will you send us your people quickly?
John:
We’ll do our best. This is important.
