Summary This case study presents the information technology (IT) sourcing decisions made by a Canadian small and medium enterprise specializing in knitwear, called Ça Va de Soi (CVDS), during the deployment of the second phase of their two-phase organizational strategy based on a "Bricks and Clicks" business model. CVDS has 30 employees and 5 stores with annual sales of around $CDN 5 million (2015). The case focuses on phase two, the "Clicks," where an IT project, divided into two parallel subprojects, was realized: (1) the custom development of an ERP system, and (2) the creation of an online e-commerce. The project was based on an "on-premises" sourcing strategy where the information systems were developed "in-house" by external service providers. After several months of efforts, the subprojects were abandoned and CVDS' activities were rolled back to their legacy systems
