Week 4

You have been hired to assist Ashton Fleming in selecting a SaaS AIS suitable for S&S. Ashton would like a list of AISs that may be a fit for S&S. To do that you will have to have a basic plan and knowledge of the AIS requirements.

Ashton has developed a list of the journals, ledgers, reports, and documents that represent what he thinks S&S needs in terms of AIS functionality (see Table 2-4 from Problem 2-9 of your textbook). You will use this information and information provided in the textbook scenario to justify 3 must-have AIS features and make plans for the next steps.

Also, you know that you will have to choose between similar AISs, so you resolve to identify a characteristic for each AIS that differentiates it from the others.

Instructions

Consider the scenario and address the following in your submission document:

1. Briefly justify 3 requirements that best capture the AIS needs of S&S based on the scenario (they must differ from those you have already identified). Add a title that captures each in the table columns. Place an “X” in respective cells to indicate which AIS(s) meet the requirements.
2. Briefly describe a differentiating feature (one that makes it different from others) for each AIS (based upon their marketing materials) and add a title to represent it in the table.
3. Recommend 3 effective next steps for conducting a deeper AIS solution evaluation. Cite at least 3 credible and relevant resources to support your recommendation.

Hint: You might consider what questions you would ask, who the stakeholders are, barriers to adoption, etc. There is no single correct recommendation. Your approach should effectively further the adoption decision, be informed by sound practices, and consider unknown elements of the scenario and vendor solutions if necessary. Support your recommendation with at least 2 credible resources
