Answer to Question 1

As illustrated by the FoxMeyer case, ERP is not simply about automating existing business processes, but it is about reengineering processes with technology in mind. This often requires organizational change to take advantage of the new integrated systems. Change management is needed to get the company ready for the coming changes and to take advantage of them.

Answer to Question 2

The data warehouse is a database containing analytically useful information. Any database is a structured repository with its structure represented in its metadata. Hence, the data warehouse, being a database, is also a structured repository. In other words, the data warehouse is not a disorganized random mass of data.
