    MEMORANDUM

    TO: CEO of the organization


    FROM: CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER
    DATE: 06/03/2021

    Implementing new ERP system in an organization is a life-time investment. ERP implementation


    involves consulting firm from outside to helps the organization in identifying the business
    needs, develop requirement specifications and select ERP packages.

    Some of the risks which are associated with consultants are: It leads to data breaches, it causes
    customer dissatisfaction which may make the organization to lose their customers, it leads to
    fluctuation in income, and leads to scoop creep which may lead to more complications.

    To address the issues and risks, I would like to suggest some procedures that the organization
    can use to guide them in selecting a consultant.

    First, develop initial briefs with several consultants before deciding on the move. Then, scan
    them for expertise. After that, the organization may conduct a shortlisting and request more
    information from them. Then put them to task to give a proposal and hence decide. Finally,
    actualize the contract after settling on the best consultant.

    I hope these suggestions can help the organization select the finest and prominent consultant.
    Thank you.
