Online resources: AMG, Inc., is a heavy equipment distributor. Due to recent changes within the industry, AMG is finding itself in uncharted waters, namely, the heavy equipment rental business. While AMG is shifting its business model to keep up with competitors, its information system is not as flexible. The information system was designed primarily for sales and service, and thus some of the output for rental purposes is problematic. This case centers on transforming the output of the current information system into information that AMG's management can use to make better decisions regarding the company's rental fleet.
