The CEO of the manufacturing company you are currently consulting for is planning to have a cross-functional division off-site meeting. The structure of the off-site meeting is segmented into small 30-minute breakout sessions. You have been asked to lead a discussion on the discovery of other viable ERP solutions and how the various aspects of customer-driven business involve and impact SCM, CRM, and ERP systems.

Search the Internet and/or University Library for various ERP software systems that are available.

Determine the main selection criteria ERP packages have in common (e.g., features, benefits, modules, and functionality).

Select three packages from your research and create a table summarizing the results of your research. Be sure to compare and contrast the major features and how each package handles SCM and CRM.

Distinguish how the various aspects of customer-driven business involve and affect SCM, CRM, and ERP systems.

Prepare a 15- to-20 slide, multimedia-rich presentation with audio. The presentation should include:

• Comparison table of your three      selected ERP software packages

Section 1:

• How are security threats      harmful to SCM, CRM, ERP systems?
• Why would hackers target SCM,      CRM, and ERP systems?
• What responsibility do      organizations have to keep the data in SCM, CRM, and ERP systems secure?      What responsibility do they have if there is a data breach?

Section 2:

• What      security controls are built into your chosen ERP system?
• Through      your research, what security breaches of your chosen ERP system could you      find and what was used in the attacks (a backdoor program, a trojan-horse      virus, etc.)?
• What      types of attacks are you most worried about for your chosen ERP system?
• How      would you set up the following elements to minimize the risk of security      threats for your chosen ERP system?
  • Risk Assessment
