As a follow-up to Tuesday night's presentation by the consulting team and our further discussion afterwards, I feel that an upgrade of Zara's DOS based system will definitely be something that we should implement in the future. However, I don't feel that the implementation is absolutely imminent. I do fear that we will lose the ability to have our terminals run on DOS in the future and as such we should begin with new upgraded terminals for any new stores going forward combined with a very slow implementation at existing stores. What we are doing is working and working well, the risk of a complete overhaul and related "down time" in the event of any errors in implementation would be too high.
Overall, my recommendation to the rest of the Board would be to start a slow change over beginning with any new store openings. This will be a good way for us to monitor the new system and really be able to compare and contrast the two operating environments.
