Systems Implementation Plan
Examine the organization where you currently work, somewhere you have worked in the past, or a place where
you would like to be employed in the future. Identify a need for an IT system to replace a paper/manual
process or to upgrade an existing system.
In your paper:
Describe the need your new system will address and how it will improve quality, efficiency, and customer
satisfaction, and/or how it will reduce expenses.
Describe the selection process required to acquire the appropriate system, including the person or team that
will make the final selection. Within this section:
Describe at least three potential vendors and how they can be differentiated.
Once you identify the final vendor, complete a simple qualitative return on investment (ROI) analysis (what
qualitative aspects are desirable).
List strategies that will ensure a successful implementation and describe potential barriers to success.
Create a high-level implementation plan (high-level steps to implement the system).
The body of your paper should be 5–7 pages long.
Include a Title page.
Include a References page. Include four academic references to support your ideas.
Include an Appendix section for marketing material and/or system implementation documents.
You should be researching the viable solution to the problem and supporting your ideas with examples from
your readings and research.
