The CIO said “there’s too many options, I need your help choosing a direction to go in…” Some options discussed were upgrading the hardware on-premises or moving the ERP workload to the cloud. Some concerns around data privacy and governance were discussed because the ERP data contains sensitive and private information about employees. Given this information, your team has been tasked to draft up a solutions plan for these options.
