South East Mega Store (SEAMS) is one of the oldest electronics stores in the region. The company was facing a major threat from two companies run by young and technology-oriented managers. These two companies have been introduced to the market only two years ago. To solve this problem, SEAMS decided to buy these two companies after giving them a very good offer. After this merging operation, and starting from day one, SEAMS faced a major communication problem between the different systems used by the three companies. Since each company had a different system with its own master files, preparing a common report has become an almost impossible task. Different attribute names and different coding schemes used by the existing systems made things even worse. Besides, SEAMS has a problem with its internal main warehouse management. Employees are facing many difficulties since it takes a huge amount of time to check the availability and inventory level of the items. Most of the time, the work is done twice just to check if all the items have been counted right (employees have to count the items manually).
