At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Friday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Conduct a preliminary search and:

• Discuss why an organization must expect the implementation of an ERP to disrupt operations.
• Scalability has several dimensions. What are they? What do they mean for ERP installation?
• Distinguish between the two-tier and three-tier client server model. Describe when each would be used?
