Role of IT In J.
J. was established in 2002 with a unique philosophy to revive the country's cultural heritage
and make Shalwar Kameez; the popular wear, and soon became one of the most famous and
recognizable clothing brands in South East Asia.
It all started with an outlet at Tariq Road in 2002. Initially, only men's wear was available at
the store, but later clothing for women, children, teens, as well as formal wear including
groom's wear was also added to the product list as expansion continued. In 2011, they took
another bold initiative and gave a new look to all their outlets. This broke the monotonous
theme of their outlets by making them more modern and different from others.
It expanded its store network to 100+ outlets nationwide. J. has further expanded globally by
opening 20 outlets in the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UAE, Qatar, to name a few.

is a relatively simple task. In addition, it is also an easy database to work with. It is also
significantly less expensive than most other database software. They are using MySQL
because it reduces data inconsistencies which results in faster decision making, it also ensures
data security and consistency because of reduced updating errors and updated security
patches. Although MySQL is very easy to access and simple to use, it does have a few
drawbacks. Not surprisingly, MySQL is not designed to do everything. The database is not
fully SQL-compliant and tends to be limited in areas including data warehousing, fault
tolerance, and performance diagnostics. MySQL also tends to have less out-of-the-box
functionality than many other database systems on the market. Certain features are dependent
not on the core engine but on applications and add-ons. MySQL is also suffering from slow
development as compared to other database software because the developers do not accept
community-developed patches.

speed and reliability. Nayatel is a telecommunication company that offers special network
services to corporate firms. They offer packages with internet speeds as high as 40Mbps
which Junaid Jamshed is using in most of their outlets.

Employees around the world are facing exceptional challenges as there is lack of access to
health care. Job losses are set to exceed 25 million worldwide. Social distancing is crucial
and so everyone is in a safer environment for themselves and others. However, a majority of
the world’s workers have little choice but to continue with their jobs even if they are unwell.
J. as an organization also faced an extremely difficult time during the early days of the
Coronavirus pandemic as quoted in one interview of Mr. Sohail Hamid Khan with ARY
News where he highlighted the importance of allowing ecommerce, specifically in Pakistan.
There are:

4. Companies were not prepared for Covid-19, so workload has increased as it was an
unexpected turn of events. Most of their processes are shifted to online e-commerce
increasing workload on their staff. The workload is further increased during special
promotional sales due to limited employees and huge number of customers.
5. Job security is at risk because of downsizing during the recent events. This plays a
role in demotivating staff which reduces efficiency within the organization.
As Junaid Jamshed is a multinational brand that offers eastern wear, perfumes, footwear and
accessories for women and men of all ages, they should focus on market penetration and
increase their promotional efforts. Another strategy that could be used is market development
in which they can avail the opportunity of entering new markets like London, Dubai, Abu
Dhabi etc. It is a well-known brand and so they can also increase the range of their market
offerings.

Customer satisfaction is a key point in the growth and success of an organization. They
should focus more on customer feedback through their representatives. Responding to
customer queries/complaints is a part of customer satisfaction and it needs to be engaged with
more importance. They could also improve their connection with their customers by
becoming more active on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram where
customers can contact their representatives directly and provide real time feedback.
“Customer is king” philosophy should be used to deal with all customers to maximize
customer value so that customers can provide value back to the company.

persona.

efficiently. Although the brand has a hold on good quality fabric, it has lately showed
fondness for a multicolored outfit which is not always aesthetically pleasing to many

cultural gap has been reduced by implementing information systems. It has given companies
