No Now

The company made a good decision to hire Saege Niele so that she can bring in new ideas from outside. With her previous IT consulting experience, she should know the necessary steps to implement a new system and also unplanned problems that could happen in the implementation process and how to solve them. Although the previous leaders tried to use some of the steps during implementation, Niele needs to dig dipper and follow through the steps such as:

A decision cannot be made because of the lack of experience of an employee, as it happened with Dick in the DMA's decision. Under the current circumstances and in order to save money, the company could limit its search to the some of the software systems that were compatible with its current hardware RS/6000. It is not the ideal because, it would be rejecting potential successfully software, but it could be a reasonable option. This analysis should be more exhaustive than just a visit of the supplier's headquarters.
