1. Why was Archway’s management concerned about its old information system?

Archway Cookies, a leading cookie producer, was founded in 1936. Archway’s managers had difficulty obtaining cost information quickly because its business information systems were not integrated. Archway now employs a very sophisticated business information system that allows it to integrate its information packages and avoid manual recording of information. Archway’s managers recognize the importance of timely and accurate information when making decisions. Higher-level executives need to have general information in a summary format and also need to be able to screen large amounts of data to identify exceptions to normal operations.
