The underutilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) is well documented. In this segment of the economy companies are slow to integrate ICT technologies into operation for a variety of reasons. One recent study found that SME exporters in Latin America who were surveyed found that nearly a third of these firms had not taken sufficient advantage of ICT technologies; less than half used any sort of customer relationship management (CRM) software and of these most were email based, more than half did not use social networks, less than fifteen percent had an automated sales website, and seventeen percent used international distributers to assist them in promoting their products (Rogers, 2012).

Peachtree in its IT planning process has lost clarity regarding their strategic goal for what they intent to accomplish with their systems along with a roadmap for achieving that goal. This should be the starting point of any large-sized institution going for an IT overhaul. The organization's acquisition over the years has brought diverse medical institutions under its fold, each unique in terms of its workflow patterns. Ranging from large and midsized institutions, trauma centers, nursing systems to rehabilitation facilities, each has its own set of unique work processes, overlaps between them.

Business organizations have to keep themselves abreast of the changes in their business environment. In order to sustain in a challenging environment and achieve competitiveness in the industry, they have to ensure operational excellence and superior financial performance with each passing day (Attaran, 2004). With the evolution of Globalization and rapid advancements in the field of Information Technology, businesses find it quite harder to compete with the other industry participants with the help of their traditional business operations and processes (Kurtz & Boone, 2011).

In various forms, we human beings are suffering from information overload. The term "Information Overload" clicks one sentence in our minds and that is "Too Much Information". The information theorists have defined typologies that distinguish between data, information and knowledge. Most organizations are unable to identify relevant material on timely basis; this requires management through information tools. This essay is based on an analysis whether better solutions to information overload can be achieved through changes to organizations' social systems or technical systems- or both? This essay also explains how a "socio-technical" perspective involving joint consideration of both systems together may be better than dealing with either system by itself.

It is paradoxical that the majority of enterprise software companies today have highly fragmented Information Systems (IS) departments with one entire series of departments dedicated to enterprise computing and a second, to specific departments or divisions. As enterprise software systems, specifically in the areas of enterprise CRM are organized to ensure a very high level of data fidelity across departments, there is a conflicting set of priorities for ensuring real-time response to prospective customer requests (Power, 2009). Not only are the differences in enterprise-wide information systems significant in terms of the real-time versus batch-oriented nature of their information needs, they also vary significantly in terms of the analytics used to evaluate their performance (Power, 2009). At Cincom Systems, these conflicts are accentuated by the speed of new product introductions in their five core enterprise divisions versus the real-time data and information needs of each department in terms of sales leads or opportunities and market information. This conflict is most often seen when Cincom attempts to launch a strategic services initiative meant to span across the entire company, only to find the vast differences in information needs by business unit slow down or nearly stop the progress of these company-wide initiatives. The strategic implications of service initiatives often must be tailored to the specific requirements of each business unit or division to attain the greatest potential benefit to the organization (Saini, Khatri, Thareja, 2012). This is certainly the case with Cincom, who has attempted to create an enterprise-wide cloud computing initiative to interlink enterprise software products in addition to internal CRM systems to ensure a higher level of data, knowledge and process integration. To date the project has only been somewhat successful due to the vast differences in hwo the enterprise versus departmental CRM systems are designed and implemented. The intent of this analysis is to examine the policy, team and information technology differences between the enterprise and departmental systems throughout Cincom. Recommendations are also provided for resolving the inherent conflicts in these specific system architectures and the underlying business objectives that drive their development and continued investment.
