ACC430

1)Explain why a survey of the current system may serve no purpose when an organization is planning to implement an ERP.

2. Discussion Question 1: Accounting educators are discussing ways to incorporate communication skills, both oral and written, into accounting information systems courses. Why do you think these skills are deemed crucial for proper execution of the SDLC?
3. Discussion Question 12: A lack of top management support has led to the downfall of many new systems projects during the implementation phase. Why is this support so important?
4. PROBLEM 3: SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT AND USER INVOLVEMENT Kruger Designs hired a consulting firm 3 months ago to redesign the information system that the architects use. The

architects will be able to use state of the art computer- aided design (CAD) programs to help in designing the products. Further, they will be able to store these designs on a network server where they and other architects may be able to call them back up for future designs with similar components. The consulting firm has been instructed to develop the system without disrupting the architects. In fact, top management believes that the best route is to develop the system and then to introduce it to the architects during a training session. Management does not want the architects to spend precious billable hours guessing about the new system or putting work off until the new system is working. Thus, the consultants are operating in a back room under a shroud of secrecy. Required a. Do you think that management is taking the best course of action for the announcement of the new system? Why? b. Do you approve of the development process? Why?
