Unit 4 Assignment

After reading your recommendations regarding the new system implementation for TBWI, the CEO
determines that at this point an off the shelf system would be the more appropriate choice for the
company. Begin by researching several (at least 2) available off the shelf systems based on your
project for Unit 3 (in other words, if you discussed customer relationship management systems in Unit
3, research customer relationship management systems for this paper). Give a basic comparison of
the systems you reviewed and recommend the one you feel is best suited for TBWI. Explain how this
system will meet the needs of TBWI and explain in detail how the project manager will facilitate each
step of the implementation process. Remember to explain based on the implementation process you
recommended in Unit 3.

Your response should be at least 1200 words, written in proper APA format using 1 inch margins,
Times New Roman 12 point font, double spaced, a title page, headers, headings (where appropriate),
in-text citations and a reference page. Please make sure that you include a minimum of three
references, at least one of which is a primary source.
