The Strategic Enterprise Model for Information Management

Abstract

Commercial off the shelf (COTS) software is a popular acronym among Department of Defense and private industry leaders because a seventy percent software solution can be delivered to the user without long and expensive development. However, there is concern that COTS will result in a piece meal solution with maintenance problems, excessive maintenance costs and more importantly, effective system integration will be almost impossible to achieve. Seventy percent of the Fortune 1000 companies have now installed enterprise resource planning (ERP), a tightly integrated, ready made software suite that covers all major business processes which can provide leaders with strategic information. This paper will show why enterprise resource planning is the desired strategic information management system for the U.S. military.
