Project Purpose and Justification
YourGard is a rapidly growing technology company that provides hardware and software products for the business security sector, they currently have revenues of more than $200 million. Yourgard recently acquired the company Bio-Gard, a leader in the access control market who had revenues of $80 million and is best known for their biometric technology and sophisticated management software. Yourgard has seen over the past six months a loss of new and additional business revenue from existing contracts due to a severe decline in customer satisfaction. Customer frustration stems from the lack of clear points of contacts for both the sales and service departments. Internally there are inefficiencies, duplication of work, and a lack of system commonality. It is critical that YourGard regain and then maintain customer satisfaction, while rebuilding its reputation in the security sector to ensure future growth for the company.
