This document is a grading rubric for a case study assignment on implementing an information system. It provides guidance on three key points to address in a 3-5 page memo: 1) Identify changes to product offerings and their competitive benefits, 2) Explain how the system can adapt to new offerings, and 3) Reasons for including/excluding capabilities in the initial design. It evaluates answers based on quality, organization, and writing skills. The rubric also provides guidance on expectations for clarity, persuasiveness, mechanics and formatting of the memo response.

Paper
CIS 500 – Information Systems for Decision-Making Case Study 2: Implementation
Strategies Due Week 7 and worth 175 points Your proposed information system is still a
contender. The executives, however, are asking whether it is too limited to prevent the
shadow IT projects that continue to take place throughout the organization. They believe
that you have considered what the organization does now, but how will your system adapt
to new products and processes? Read IQMS (2015) for a concrete example of what they
mean. You’ll have to quell their fears, so it’s time for another memo. Please focus on these
points: 1. Identify any significant changes that your organization might reasonably make in
its product offerings in the next 3 years. Explain the competitive benefits of this change. 2.
Explain how your information system addresses or can adapt to the introduction of these
new product offerings. 3. Give one reason why capabilities for the new product offerings
should or should not be incorporated in the initial information system design. Justify your
reason. This memo should be 3–5 pages long. Reference: IQMS. (2015). Quick Response
