Migrating to a new
accounting information system is not an easy task. Many firms have struggled
with this process even though our textbook makes the process seem quite
straightforward. Recently IBM recapped some of the lessons learned in migrating
to a new accounting information system within the federal government. These
lessons can be applied to any accounting information system project. Others have
developed their own recommendations for best practices and lessons learned
involving implementing accounting information systems. However in order to
appreciate what IBM and others are proposing we need to apply lessons learned
to a real-life situation involving the failure to implement an accounting system
properly.For this assignment
research the Internet or Strayer databases for information related to a
real-life accounting information system failure and best practices as well as
lessons learned from implementing the accounting system. In addition to
information that you may find during your research please use the following IBM
