ERP Implementation Within a Company
Not what you're looking for?
I have attached an idea for my term paper topic on ERP. I need help to tie this idea in with one of the following two options.
Option 1
A routine upgrade project, such as upgrading the PCs for a company, or upgrading from one version of an operating system to another. The project plan for this will need to include a section justifying the upgrade.
Option 2
Selection and installation of a COTS (commercial off the shelf) solution to meet a specific business or operational need. The project plan for this one will need to include a section describing the analysis and why the specific COTS solution was chosen over the other options.
I have also included a template of how this has to be completed. Please be sure to list and cite all references used.

PRMS dates back to 1980 when the PCR company released its Resource Management System (RMS) software. In 1987, Pansophic Systems acquired PCR and added the "P" to the "RMS." In 1991, Computer Associates (CA) acquired Pansophic, which later became the Acacia Technologies division and then interBiz Solutions. SSA Global acquired the interBiz supply chain and financial application product lines from CA in 2002. See Acacia. (http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/PRMS)
