In this stage you will work in groups to market your Taxi
information systems owned by your company. You will be expected to prepare a
detailed and professional presentation to the owners of Red Dragon Taxi Company
(Family of Yao Chu). The following will be your deliverables;

Must have a maximum of
8 pages A5 brochure.
From the Case study document you must now know their systems limitations and the systems
requirements. The choice of the TAXI IT management system
should be able to address most if not all of their requirements.
The mode of presentation will be left to your group to decide. However, the choice of presentation should be captivating, interesting and with deep knowledge and understanding of the concepts related to modern Taxi management information systems.
No similar Taxi IT
systems should be presented by the same group. A company cannot send two groups
to present the same product.
Each group should be
prepared to answer one or two questions related to the case study. The response
to the question should be supported with evidence from research.
