Option #1: Proposed Approach for Implementing an ERP System (Part 2)
You are the CIO of a manufacturing firm. The CEO and CFO continue to express concern over the lack of integration among business processes within their functional business areas. They feel an ERP system coupled with Supply Chain Management and Customer Relationship functionality is the answer.
Both executives have heard negative reports from fellow executives in other companies and from press reports of failed ERP implementations. To avoid duplicating the same situation in their organization, the CEO and CFO request that you submit a Proposed Approach for Implementing an ERP System report. Ultimately they want to determine if their company is ready for ERP.
Your deliverable should include the following content:
- A proposed approach to evaluate ERP vendors and their software product’s fitness to meet your requirements. The requirements, at this stage, reflect which functional business processes your firm needs to implement.

- Include at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook.
- Inline citations are required and needs to be used for ever paraphrase / direct quotes.
- Plagiarism is strict, try avoid similarities.
- Course textbook is attached (concepts and reference from chapter 3 – 6) can be used.
