 Question # 3
 FCMI stands for FARE CALCULATION MODE INDICATOR.
 The main purpose of FCMI is how the ticket was priced,
 The FCMI reflects if the fare was automatically or manually priced, while the FCPI
provides more details about the options used during the pricing. For example, pricing by
fare basis.
 FCMI appears in the airline’s reporting file (HOT) and the BSP reporting file (RET),
while FCPI appears in the TST, in the ticket display, in the airline’s reporting file (HOT),
the BSP reporting file (RET) and in the Amadeus Interface Record (A.I.R).

Question # 4
Data:
Data is at the core of nearly every business decision made. Human resources directors are
gathering data from online resources to determine the best people to recruit and confirm details
about them. Marketing departments are lasering in on market segmentation data to find
consumers who are ready to buy, speeding up the sale-closing process whenever possible.
Business executives must examine bigger trends in the market, such as changes in pricing of
resources, shipping or manufacturing.
A company needs to develop strategies for marketing, sales, human resources and operations.
Getting the right information means knowing what information is important to the company's
decision-making process. The strategy starts with basic demographic data; then, it considers
pricing based on the education and income of buyers, and how that group speaks. Education
and income are important, because the more educated and the higher the income a target group
has, the more likely it is that the business can logically sell a higher-end product to the group
who can understand, appreciate and afford the product.
Example: A company wants to market a new skin care line to women. There are several key
factors the company must know to effectively design and execute a marketing strategy.
Although the product might work for all women, will it be branded more for the younger teen
crowd? Or, will it be branded for the aging woman who's trying to hold on to her youthful
skin? The label design might be different for each group. A higher price point might not be
affordable to a younger crowd, but research backing the claims might be required to sell a
product with a higher price point to educated, professional older women.
 Question # 5
If ERP Implementation was successful:
Implementing an ERP system is a big deal. There are so many moving parts involved in
integrating a new software into an organization’s core business processes. Choosing the wrong
software is far and away the most common mistake made when implementing an ERP system.
First and foremost, prior to choosing an ERP software it is imperative to uncover and understand
each and every requirement this implementation needs. First you need to ask yourself:
 What are the internal strategic objectives?
 Are there any external requirements?
 Can the entire team come to terms with all requirements?
 How should the requirements be prioritized?
After exhausting a list of every requirement, the search for software may begin. By putting
emphasis on the necessary requirements, one will know exactly which questions to ask vendors
in order to better understand which software is the best holistic fit for the organization.
