Abstract

The second of the AMP of Canada case series (see the (A) case, ''9A99E030'' and the (C) case, ''9A99E032''), this case describes the decision to implement SAP, the project''s history, and culminates with the final decision about whether to go live. Not all functionality is complete, but some may be completed before the go live on October 5, 1998, and some may not be immediately required to run the business. With only two weeks left, the project team is divided. The decision in the case is whether to go live, and how to handle the consequences of either decision.
