Popular product brands that the company distributes are Lindt Chocolate, Ghirardelli Chocolate and Godiva Chocolate. The company has been in existence for over 10 years and has grown immensely since its inception. The company boasts over 100 employees across five strategically located warehouses throughout Trinidad with one stationed in Tobago as well.
Within recent times the company’s outsourced IT and IT Support Services have been terminated by senior management as the quality of service received was unsatisfactory. A drop in the efficiency of day to day actions has served as a major driving force behind senior management’s actions. Senior Management has taken the decision to create a dedicated, internal, IT Unit that will serve all of its 100 plus end user pool across all of its divisions, and will also incorporate an IT Support Services sub-unit (See Figure 1 below).
