Transaction Processing Systems: collect basic data such as the number of skiers using each lift at any time; number of meals sold at each food outlet; how many vertical feet each skier skies each day; the race time of each skier in the EpicMix Racing program.
Management Information Systems: allows instantaneous decisions to offer skiers rewards for switching to a different lift to keep lines shorter; steer skiers to different food outlets based on demand; determine the most popular places skiers visit and how to improve them or how to improve those places skiers are not frequenting often enough.
Decision Support Systems: help managers understand which ski lifts are being used most often so maintenance schedules can be properly adjusted; which customers should receive special promotions; which customers to target for return visits; which amenities are used most often and those not used very much.
Executive Support Systems: help executives determine the most effective marketing campaigns that will draw the largest number of return skiers; which lifts are used most often and whether to upgrade others; where to invest dollars that will ensure the biggest return on investment.
