CRM at Minitex
This case takes a "horizontal" slice through a number of coexistent issues . As a result, the challenge is "knowing where to start" - just as it is in real organizations - and this requires detective work.
A great way to approach this is to brain storm the issues and challenges that are present in the case. Then present the "IT" versus the "business" perspective- sort the case issues into two groups. Sorting issues into these two groups is valuable as it helps see how different organizational groups can see the same problems differently. Differences are important because the solution set is a derivative of the problem set.
