Answer to Question 1

The people involved with an ERP system fall into three general categories. Users are the employees of the firm implementing the system. IT analysts, also called systems analysts, are also employees. IT analysts have specialized training or education that enables them to support, maintain, and adapt the system after it has been implemented. Many analysts have a background or education in MIS or IT. A third role is consultant. A consultant works for the ERP vendor or a different company, called a third party, and helps budget, plan, train, configure, and implement the system. These consultants may work at the implementing firm for a period before, during, and after the implementation.
