Disaster Management System

RAID- Redundant Array of Independent Discs

Technology that provides increased storagefunctions and reliability through redundancy.

Data stored in two discs at a time- so that if one

fails, the other can be used to recover the data.

When multiple physical disks are set up to use

RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID

array. This array distributes data across multiple

disks, but the array is addressed by the operating

system as one single disk

RAID Levels have been set up at store level and at

the centralised level

Challenges faced

Difficulties arose after implementation esp. duringinterim period of 6 months involving data migration

Since the introduction of SAP, the process of bug fixing

has become cumbersome and the turn around time has

increased. This is because of parallel execution of REMand SAP.

Difficulty in measuring tangible benefits until the legacy

systems are completely replaced by SAP.

Resistance from employees for change as they require

module specific training for the same.


14/15

Future outlook

REM will be completely phased out and SAP would be used

for all business processes both front end and back end.

Instead of EOD updating, hourly updating will be

implemented once REM is completely removed.

Pantaloons being a forerunner in the use of IT for business

purposes, is further looking into Data warehousing and

Business Intelligence solutions, for use of Analytics to further

improve store performance.
