JagRover

Abstract

The case is about the dilemma faced by Mr. Keith Gregor, MD of JagRover Warehouse Operations when he realizes that the technology which they are using is soon going to get obsolete. Currently, the warehouse operation is supported by SAP Warehouse Management System which is going to get obsolete in few years according to the product roadmap of SAP. SAP has introduced a new product known as the extended warehouse management system which is embedded in their suite for High Performance Analytic Appliance (HANA) product. This would mean changes for the warehouse operations, not only in terms of the product but also changing their current database management system. These changes will have huge cost implications. Mr. Keith Gregor is under the dilemma whether to invest on the new product or look for some other options. Cost and analytical abilities are the two heads which will majorly drive his investment decision.
