Following the installation of a full
suite of Merchandise, Retail Management and Data Warehouse Software Systems;
GENESIS 2000, to provide new millennium compliance;
Falcon provided Project
Management support, through Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) for a Merchandise
Reclassification Project. This allowed the BHS Merchandise
Management Team
to periodically re-align their product lines to new structures reflect the
market place, thus giving them flexibility to react quickly to the changes
in Retail Fashion
Trends. Expertise was
provided at a critical stage to the project to steer it through Testing, Implementation
and Execution of the first Reclassifications, when existing Project
Management
Staff had to be replaced at short notice.
The Falcon Project Manger worked closely
with existing CSC Management, who provide Facilities Management for BHS Information
Technology, and with BHS IT staff to ensure
the project progressed as closely
as possible to the original plan, with minimal disruption due to a change
of management after the Design and Development phases had been completed.
