The CEO of the Baker Inc, wants to implement a new accounting system, to improve work flow through the company’s sales, cash receipts, accounts payable, and cash disbursement procedures. The CEO is, however, concerned about the potential disruption that the implementation will have on operations. In an announcement letter to Baker’s employees, the CEO stated that: “I have contracted Flybynight Consulting Group to do the needs analysis, system selection, and design work. The programming and implementation will be performed in-house using existing IT department staff. The development process will be unobtrusive to user departments because Flybynight knows what needs to be done. They will work independently, in the background, and will not disrupt departmental and internal audit work flow with time consuming interviews, surveys, and questionnaires. This promises to be an efficient process that will produce a system that will be appreciated by all users.”
