Assignment: "Systems Analysis"
• Implementing a new AIS system could prove to be beneficial or detrimental to an organization's IT infrastructure. Assess the risks associated with integrating a new AIS system and suggest what management can do to minimize those risks.
• You have been selected as the change agent for the implementation of a new AIS system that will ultimately affect the way all employees complete their daily tasks. The new AIS system will also require online approvals for all source documents.

Evaluate the risks and rewards of such a move by the firm. Provide specific examples to support your response.
