Hotel BXY have numerous locations in every corner of the country and has a large client platform including the government. Our hotel rated number one in the nation. The hotel prides itself for excellent customer support on which we have won numerous awards. We as a company would not be doing our due diligence if we did not address this matter with our clientele. Crisis Description Including Stages of Crisis In the last week it has be brought out attention that due us switching to a new data management system which houses very important information on our clientele has been faulty. The hotel along with our information tech support team is setting up a new application to counter act the faulty application. This process will take up to 48 hours to complete, rest assured that all data will be retrieved and a safer fire wall will be installed so that this does happen again. We have done a press conference and sent out the proper litutture to make our customers aware of the situation and that it is being corrected. At this time none of our client data has been compromised. The faulty application removed by our technicians and the move to the new application showed successful. This triggered a major crisis for hotel clientele, which led to a nationwide demonstration that triggered the media. The crisis caused customers information not to populate into the new system leaving the clients information vunerable for exposure. Our hotel has attracted many businessmen, and this crisis situation may affect the country’s economic system because many of them are unable to trade. The federal government is also one of the important customers of the hotel, and since most of its data is organized by our special data team, it cannot be implemented like a regular hotel. This press conference is being held at a very delicate moment. We do not want to set our clients into a panic. Since this crisis, the hotel’s stock purchase has been in a crisis - this situation has affected all the most important areas of our business. The country’s media is full of news on this issue, and software vendors strongly refuse to acknowledge the news and publish their arguments that are entirely responsible for the crisis circumstances. Relationship with Media Media conferences will be managed in a proficient way. All media families such as televisions and channels will be welcome to attend therefore that the banks can inform the community what really happened. The media conference will surely be held at bank's board meeting because of its large scale, and the conference function can accommodate the national media. Since this crisis, global media houses will also be welcomed - the situation has also attracted worldwide attention. The financial institution should develop a development plan to open other departments in the nearby countries (Oscarsson & Danielsson, 2017). Therefore, it is very important to require international media to participate in media conferences. As the general manager himself will sign, the advertising department will be responsible for creating the media statement and evaluating it with the general manager's office. Popular media houses will be required to send their concerns ahead of time so that the spokesperson can be prepared and aware of the actual issues that will be asked. Management Start and Finish of the Conference The ad manager will handle the start and finish of the meeting. Since he is the head of the financial institution, the specific spokesperson will be the co-manager of the financial institution. The normal manager of a financial institution is a well-known person, so he can assure the bank's customers that the crisis is under management. The spokesperson will serve as the ambassador of the bank. He will be able to solve all the issues that need to be addressed and elaborate on the crisis situation. Spokesman's statement The following is an argument that the speaker will put forward: “We have a well-recognized and well-recognized client; please allow me to express my honest regret to all of you because of the distractions that have been caused on Wednesday for the past 7 days. The financial institution has informed you that it will set up a new application, which will allow and we continue to provide better, but, despite the assurances and confidence that the applicant has provided to the technicians that the entire process can survive 12 times, the situation continues to persist. Let me assure you that all actions are in order to ensure this crisis. The situation is no longer provided and guidance is provided. The bank’s information and technology innovation department is working 24/7 to ensure that the system is updated again regularly (Ryakhovskaya, 2014). The bank also hired external skills from the world’s best software technicians to help ensure that the crisis does not continue. Being the business to provide excellent service, the situation does not reflect that we protected out clients to the best our ability. We are very sorry and regret that the crisis situation is continuing. I can confirm to you that this crisis situation will not last 24 hours. I have the opportunity to personally determine this deadline. I will manage this function separately and ensure that all functions of the hotel’s data can continue to execute within the stipulated 48 hours. We are very sorry, as a company, I hope to ensure that you can continue to expect better services more than ever before. Please agree to my honest repentance. Thank you very much. ” Three Trick Questions Question: How long does it take for the banking application to recover? Solution: The bank’s control has been convinced by the establishment of a technical staff that the entire process lasts no more than 12 times. Application technicians have extensive contact and reliability in the information and technology industry. Our only choice is to trust them. Unfortunately, this did not happen and the description was due to technical problems with the development of the entire project. Therefore, the entire plan must be completed by the developer, which is the main reason why it takes so long (Herbane, 2012). The application established by the bank is best tailored to our own requirements, and it is only recommended to upgrade it again. Thankfully, this has already been completed, and in the next 24 or so new applications should work. It is worth noting that despite this crisis situation, new applications will indeed completely change the bank's transactions, which will ensure that our customers have "wow experience." Question: What are the control measures for bank challenges to ensure that the plan will be updated within the next 24 hours? Solution: I have already indicated that I personally will take follow-up actions to ensure that we have obtained 24 timetables. Before the press conference, I had to solicit opinions from various experts in the banking industry. I believe this is possible. Therefore, I assure all bank customers that all functions will be started again in the next 24 times. Question: What are the important factors for establishing another new financial institution application, but is the first application working effectively? Solution: Reasons why banks want to build another financial institution application include the important needs that our well-known customers have to offer excellent customer support. Past financial institution plans have also been puzzled by the numerous exchanges it manages on a daily basis. The financial institution also plans to thrive at home, and the new software bank plan will manage such a huge deal on a real-time basis. Compared with the first application, the new application will be more user-friendly and can manage multiple transactions (Kabanov & Yakovlev, 2015). References Herbane, B. (2012).
