For several months, the project team carefully reviewed the requirements from Sloan School. The project team learned that as the ERP system already configured and customized functions that the central office needed, the Release 1 ERP system limited DLCs’ options to those used by the central office, and thus required huge amount of additional management effort or customization in the ERP system. For instance, the Sloan School of Business had approximately between 500 and 1000 cost objects in the legacy system. However, it became to make between 4,000 and 5,000 cost objects in the ERP system, since the ERP system provided very high-level cost object and did not have additional objects to clarify information in the department point of view (Donna Behner, April 23, 2013).
