fraud week 8 discussion

 Discussion 1

• Give your opinion on which is the greatest risk of failure for an ERP system for an organization: selecting the wrong system ERP model or the wrong consultant not familiar with the company's business operations. Justify your answer.
• Give your opinion on whether or not the client should just be able to use whatever applications the ERP system provides, given that ERP systems use the best-practices approach in designing their applications, yet appropriateness of fit is considered to be an important issue when selecting an ERP. Explain your opinion.

Discussion 2

• Evaluate the pros and cons of implementing an ERP system using the “big bang” or “phased in” approach for a medium- to large-sized university. Make a recommendation on which approach would be less risky. Explain your rationale.
• Imagine you are the manager of systems applications and development for a company. Assess your options to deal with the problem of file server backup in a decentralized organization with autonomous divisions that do not share common operational data, indicating which approach you believe is best. Provide support for your response.
