They wanted to anticipate when any elevator needed repair and to get the right person, with the right parts and knowledge, to fix any elevator that has, or may have, a problem. In one page, describe how the company could accomplish this objective by applying the technology introduced by new information technology process. For each technology application, describe how it will be used to help achieve the objective.
