One of the important aspects of ERP both for practitioners and researchers are the “implementing considerations”. While companies worldwide have spent considerable investments on the ERP systems, but they've confronted unexpected problems and realization of its final benefits is blurred. In order to implement ERP with minimum risk and assured ROI, it’s necessary' to identify the organizational parameters affecting it positively or negatively. This study aims at describing proper organizational conditions for this organizational system, for Iranian manufacturing industries, and Irankhodro Company as a case. This organizational condition has been investigated in an organizational Architecture framework. OA has been viewed from a plan/design view and the research model has been developed as a variable called design coherence and its effect on the ERP success. Design coherence, is the coherence between HR attitudes about the dimensions of the organization and the real design. The results show that in the proper OA for ERP there exists design coherence. This finding is verified through existing evidences obtained from past studies. Regarding the case company, Irankhodro we can say that the aforementioned organization should move toward this coherence in order to preparation for ERP. Managing the system reliability regarding the organizational information systems (EISs) is an important consideration which merit attention for maximizing the benefits of investigation on such an expensive information system called ERP.

Rapid development of applications of information technology in the third millennium and its enormous effects on the value chain of enterprises has imposed a strategic nature to this kind of technology. It is obvious that due to the influential role of information technology and its impact on enterprises we require to have a strategic view towards management of this technology.
In this paper we primarily introduce a brief history of the evolution of information technology and then we elaborate on the evolution of the various approaches of planning for information technology the main focus of each of the approaches in the planning process and various conditions and origins of every approach. These approaches are technological approach which focuses on efficiency alignment approach which focuses on change management and organizational change. Then we categorize and classify various information technology strategic planning models based on previously mentioned approaches of planning for information technology so that it can be helpful for information technology planners to choose their information technology strategic planning model based on an appropriate approach more conveniently.

In this research, after a brief introduction, different information systems, classification of various methodologies, Object –Oriented view and methodology will be discussed in detail. Then we will design a mechanized information system for purchase activities (including domestic and international purchase). The purchase division of one of the leading automakers (Sazeh Ghostar Saipa Company) was selected for the case study. The division is a good example of a purchase system because of the nature of its activity which is engineering design as well as provision of the parts.
At end of this article, using a questionnaire, Object-Oriented Methodology will be compared to Structured Methodology (SSADM) from technical, usage, and management points of view and then the results will be analyzed.
