   If yes, state specifically why. If not, state why not, making sure to highlight the flaws in his justification. Your answer should also highlight the role accounting must play for an ERP systems implementation project to be successful.

   2. Organizational issues related to ERP system implementation.

What would be the best practices for handling these issues?

3. Assume that the CES board of directors has stated that it will setup a project management office (PMO). From the issues related to project management process with the ECS division ERP implementation, specify actions that should be taken related to project management process to ensure the success of the EME division’s ERP implementation.
