ERP Systems

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) programs are used by companies to unify information from every functional area of the business into an integrated system.

At the TS Group (see the TS Group case study), the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) selection committee chose JDE over SAP, Oracle, and PeopleSoft.

To prepare for this Application Assignment, research these four products through the Walden Library, on the Web, or through other resources.

Write a report that responds to the following guidelines:

- Summarize the key strengths and weaknesses of each one.
- Hypothesize why the TS Group preferred the JDE product.
- Assuming that consultants were equally available for any of the four products, present an argument about which of the constituents (executives, divisional managers, finance controllers, MIS) unduly influenced the decision? Justify your response with reference(s) to the original text.
