2. Focus on the Case Study sections VIII-XV, pp. 20-39 and use your knowledge of the Motiwalla & Thompson textbook, chapters 5-9 inclusive and at least 6 academically sound external sources, to develop your report.

b. Implementation organization and approaches used, 
c. Preparation for 'go-live' readiness, 
d. Provision of training, and 
e. Management of the stabilization period.
