Imagine that you are the senior vice president for human resources in a large telecommunication
company. Your company has a very diverse workforce including engineers, salespeople,
accountants, and call center representatives in the United States, Asia, and South America.
You believe that the company's greatest asset is its employees and contractors. However, you are
under pressure to control and reduce overhead costs while increasing the productivity of the
workforce. You are considering ERP solutions to address these concerns for your company.

Determine the necessary business processes and functions needed to meet the goals of the
head of the human resources department.
Determine the data needed for the ERP solution.
Choose the vendor product (such as SAP or Oracle) to implement in the company and provide
a rationale for the ERP solution.
Explain whether to consider an on-demand solution such as SuccessFactors and specify the
pros and cons of this kind of solution.
Explain how the HR ERP system would interact with other ERP modules such as those
implemented in the sales and accounting departments.
Diagram the interaction among other ERP systems in the company using graphical tools such
as Microsoft Word, Visio, or an open-source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically
depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

Instructions
Imagine that you are a solution architect who specializes in ERP solutions and implementation. You
are assigned to work in a midsize company that has over 50 grocery stores in eight states in the
United States.
This company started as a single store in a small town and grew quickly over 10 years with its
competitive price and excellent service. However, over the past two years, its profit margin shrank,
the vendor base increased by 50 percent, and store gross sales declined. Executives have been
considering many options to improve their earnings, one of which is to implement an ERP solution to
provide a holistic view of the company’s performance, such as its supply chain, marketing
effectiveness, customer services, and so on.
Your main task is to find and quantify an ERP solution for this company and help the management
team establish a project plan to implement your solution. You need to consider its organizational
maturity and in-house skill sets since it is not a technology company. You must also evaluate new
technologies to accelerate the implementation with less cost. Since this company does not have a
formal project management office, you need to develop a project plan to demonstrate the key tasks,
milestones, expected timelines, deliverables, and high-level costs and resources plans. As part of
the assignment, you must include the project charter and conduct a return on investment (ROI)
analysis. Finally, you are required to construct a system architecture that shows the interactions
among the ERP modules and other existing systems.
Section 1: Written ERP Solution
Write a 10–15 page paper in which you:
Conduct a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis to identify the
value of using ERP solutions to turn around this company.
Establish the project charter.
Choose the ERP modules for this company and explain the assumptions and rationale for
each module.
Determine inputs, transformations, outputs, and business processes from each ERP module
in the solution.
Identify at least two new ERP technologies or innovative ideas, and detail their pros and cons
in the context of this assignment.
Determine at least two ERP vendors (for example, SAP, Oracle) that are the best of the new
trends identified and explain why they are the leaders in the field.

https://atlas.strategiced.com/app#offering/9226618/course/8649951/preview/courseguide
40/49
Determine the high-level system architecture to implement the technologies and solutions
identified.
Explain how to integrate data and enable analytics for the company in the overall solutions.
Speculate and suggest the organizational changes needed for the successful implementation
of the solution.
Speculate on the ethical implications in the solution and how to mitigate the associated risks.
Explain the production support model that is necessary to support the ERP system.
Use Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library to find at least five academic resources.
Note: Wikipedia and similar websites are not considered quality references.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Submit your paper as a Microsoft Word document.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information,
please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check
with your professor for any additional instructions.
Section 2: ROI Analysis PowerPoint Presentation
In addition to your written ERP solution, you must present your ROI analysis to the executive team
which, along with the written ERP solution, will convince the group that your solution is optimal.
Create an 8–10 slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:
Produce an ROI analysis to convince the executive team that the solution and project will help
the company financially in the long run.
Present the qualitative features and benefits of the solution.
Include bulleted presenter's notes in the Notes section of each slide. Note: You may create or
assume any fictitious names, data, or scenarios that have not been established in this
assignment for a realistic flow of communication.
Use a professional technical writing style to graphically convey the information.
Section 3: Project Plan
Use Microsoft Project to develop your project plan. The project plan should:
Record all tasks, subtasks, resources, and time related to the project.
Outline the planning, analysis, design, and implementation phases.
Identify the key milestones of the ERP project.
