After reading the entire case, put yourself in the shoes of the executive(s) who must answer the board's questions

The CES board of directors must now decide how it should proceed. You are to answer the following questions as if you are responding to question raised by the board. 

Case attached below: 

1. Was the CFO's justification for the need for a new ERP system sound? 
   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. Assume that the CES board of directors has asked you to examine the ERP system implementation process. Please identify: 
   1. Business issues related to ERP system implementation; and
   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.

4. Knowing what you know now about innovation, international management of IT, diffusion, IT governance, etc., what would YOU advise the executive(s) in this case to do differently?
