Week 4

After the CEO reviewed your recommendation, he asked you to review the business application, the ERP system, and provide a system management plan. This plan provides the executive team with the details of a new or upgraded system implementation and helps to decide if its a viable solution for the business. A plan of this nature is typically 4 to 5 pages in length with charts when appropriate.

Develop a system management plan for a new enterprise system for International Plastics, Inc. Ensure you:

• Incorporate an ERP, CRM, Supply Chain Management (SCM), and data management into the International Plastics IT infrastructure.
• Summarize how software applications utilize the IT infrastructure.
• Describe the ethical and regulatory concerns associated with the plan.
• Classify each regulatory concern by its risk and potential impact.
• Justify the plan in the context of improved business performance.
• Address current trends and security concerns.
