Not what you're looking for?
We have a multinational organization making the decision to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning finance system module using a standard package such as offered by Oracle and SAP. This system will only be used by the organization's employees; that is, there are no interfaces to systems owned by the organization's external partners. A system integrator (SI) has to be engaged to provide the subject matter expertise; furthermore, the SI has been selected and is under contract to start work.

The system will take 1 year to develop, using a typical Systems Development Life Cycle approach, and 1 year to roll out across the organization's domestic and foreign business units.
