You are employed as an IT professional at a firm that has about 150 employees in 5 departments:
production/inventory, marketing, finance/accounting, HR, and IT. Until now, each department uses
its computer applications and databases; and all departments are connected to each other through
another connection layer. Given the problems and costly maintenance of this inefficient
arrangement, the firm wants to remove all these systems and use a single ERP system to
integrate all of the firms' processes and operations and be used by all employees and
departments in the business. Management has asked you to prepare a report to address this
issue. First management wants to know: (1) which is better and more efficient: to have an in-house
ERP system OR a cloud-based ERP and (2) management wants to know which the most
appropriate candidate system to use in each category. Support your responses with references
and citations..
