Based on the "VINSUN Infra Engineering: ERP on Premise or on Cloud"Case by Sumedha Chauhan, Sangeeta Shah Bharadwaj and published by Management Development Institute Gurgaon and Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation. Answer the following question:

The final line of the case: "Satav pondered what action he should take."

Well? What should Vinsun Engineering do: On-premises ERP or cloud-based ERP? Which vendor should they choose? And why?

Tell me...and then convince me!

Your response: Must start off with a one-sentence paragraph definitively declaring your vendor and platform recommendations for Vinsun Engineering. Then beginning with your second paragraph, you can build your case. Do not write like a mystery novel, unveiling your recommendation at the very end.

Follow these criteria for your deliverable submissiondocument: o You should begin with a one-sentence paragraph that contains your recommendation.

o Your submission should not be a long-running narrative of one paragraph after another, and doesn't break down your major points into specific, easy-to-follow, well-organized sections. You can use whatever sort of

section headers or other demarcations you want to use; but do not submit a "stream of consciousness" document that doesn't clearly delineate your major points.

Must be grounded in the data points of the case, rather than general points such as "cloud ERP is the future." Therefore, your response must be based on and factor in the specifics of Codeautomations and Bluechip, and their respective hosting/platform options, and also the specifics of Vinsun Engineering, as described in the case."Freelancing" and proposing any other solution outside of what Vinsun Engineering are not encouraged.

Must factor in technology issues as well as costing information from Exhibits 4-7. Do not go solely on "low TCO wins." Draw from and apply content in your Strategic Value of IT course.

Do not automatically default to "of course a cloud solution, it's not 1997!" thinking.
