<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi Walu - I can see from your comments that you have never worked in a finance environment. For secure setup there is no way "IT guys must then translate x, y & z function into

 the appropriate access levels for that accountant within the system". Simply put a person who is a trained IT expert knows too much about how the system works and therefore cannot be assigned access administration. The overall person for access admin is a

 "super-user" or "Chief Security Officer"or a title in that direction. This super user assigns access rights to users, such as ability to add,delete, update, edit, view, etc records. To assign these rights in practically all IT systems the super user must himself

 have those same rights, otherwise he/she cannot assign them to other users. A system where a super-user is an IT expert is a very weak system. The IT expert should never have ability to enter a system and change records. If you analyse the IFMIS problem you

 will realise that it is not a problem of IT experts infiltrating the system. It is just password misuse by ordinary users. At least I agree with you on one thing - IT expertise role and password administration must never be put in the same office. In most

 banks and finance environments the super-user function is undertaken by the CEO or a very senior executive who is OUTSIDE the IT function.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>

ERP grew from MRP (Material Resource Planning which was a means of<br>

planning and allocating resources in Factories. The difference between<br>

the two is that MRP's were stand alone systems whereas ERP's are<br>

modular and have more functionality. From an evolution perspective ,<br>

it would be ideal to manage IFMIS from Ministry of Finance since they<br>

are the custodians of the treasury and normally allocate resources<br>

through the budgeting process. From a Project Management perspective,<br>

it would be ideal to manage IFMIS from ICTA since it is the<br>

specialized agency meant to manage government technology investments.<br>
