In the modern times, the implementation of the information systems is becoming necessary for improving the business functions and operations. The implementation of the new information systems should be done through following proper procedure to ensure all the requirements of the users would be properly met. This report aims to provide the discussion to be provided to the team regarding the project being undertaken. The project being considered is the introduction of ERP in the LinkedIn organisation. The discussion being provided in this report would be provided to the project team who would be included in the working of the project. It should be ensured that the proper documentation of all the strategies is being done and proper results are presented to the project team.
The project being undertaken of implementing ERP system in the LinkedIn organisation aims towards development of the proper information system in the organisation which would help in managing the customer data and prevent the various data breaches being faced. The implementation of the new ERP system would help in ensuring that the organisation would collect all the customer data properly and manage it with using proper security protocols and mechanisms. The implementation of the new ERP system should be completed within the allocated time and within the allocated budget.
The new ERP system being implemented in LinkedIn organisation should be purchased off the shelf and then it should be customised. It would help in ensuring that all the needed features in the organisation are gained and improved functionalities are received. The implementation of the new ERP system would help in ensuring that the customer data is not being used by unauthorised users and all the required information is stored in the database of the organisation through proper security protocols and security mechanisms (Tan et al., 2020). Purchasing the software off the shelf would be beneficial because it would be quickly implemented, updates would be included and the additional features would be gained.
The most appropriate ERP system that should be used in the LinkedIn organisation is SAP ERP. SAP ERP would help in ensuring that proper data management in done in the organisation and all the required security protocols are maintained. Customer data would be prevented from being accessed by the unauthorised authorities (Mathar & Gaur, 2020).
Types of users | Business reasons | Ways the system support the needs | Support differs from present system |
Database administrator | Controlling and managing the database | Allows DBA to access data from the database and perform various operations | DBA was not allowed to access the data stored in database whenever needed |
Common users | Interact with database through the application interface | Data would be made available in the application at all times and provide constant data | Earlier the application was not providing data to the users whenever needed |
System analyst | Analyse the requirement of the end users, and modify the database according to the requirements | All the functionalities of new database would be made available for the system analyst and needed modifications could be done anytime | Earlier, there was no visibility into the system status and how the database in working |
SQL injection attack: As the major issue of the organisation is improper database management, the organisation is extensively vulnerable to the issue of SQL injection attack. It happens when any partial or complete query is inserted through the data input. The proper input validation, parameterised queries, the stored procedures and escaping work properly with the various varying attack vectors should be used by the organisation for preventing this attack.
Because the new ERP system being introduced in LinkedIn organisation would be managed through cloud, the use of this ERP system could be easily done through mobile devices. The users would be required to login into the mobile application through proper credentials and then it would allow them to provide the interface for completing the tasks. The users would easily be able to use the application through their mobile. The app of LinkedIn would have the improved ability of storing all the data of the customers and it would also store the data of the session that has been completed by the users.
Therefore, the conclusion could be determined from the above discussion that the implementation of the SAP ERP should be done in LinkedIn organisation for improving the data management and ensure customer data is not being accessed by the unauthorised users. The project being undertaken of implementing ERP system in the LinkedIn organisation aims towards development of the proper information system in the organisation which would help in managing the customer data and prevent the various data breaches being faced. The new ERP system being implemented in LinkedIn organisation should be purchased off the shelf and then it should be customised.
