Currently the company runs multiple different systems to perform each of the functions with little or no data flow between systems.
Representing the company is their IT manager, the head of Accounting, and the President. During the introduction, it becomes clear that the IT Manager and the head of Accounting are strongly for the redesign. The President is against considering the change.
While describing an overview of how the systems would benefit the organization, the President interrupts you and while looking you in the eye says “All these computer systems do is make it harder to get the job done, slow down our operating efficiency, and cost money. Why should I change anything?”
