Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are commercial software packages that embody and integrate any number of business processes involved in the operation of an organization including but not limited to manufacturing, supply chain, sales, financial, human resources, budgeting, and customer service activity. These modules are developed for the purpose of business organization and there has to be a unique ERP system to support the higher education. There are many higher educational institutions that have implemented ERP system. The review of the study presents that there are very few study which has examined the ERP implementation success factor. The previous studies also indicate that there are unaddressed question which may lead to serious risk. This study may help the institution, and vendor to increase the user effectiveness and success ERP implementation in Higher Education institution.

Paper An ERP System is the dorsum of every individual organization. In the new advance world, ERP is not limited to any particular organization boundaries. It is now used by the education sectors for the smooth functioning of academics performances. ERP plays a very crucial role in the education sector, as earlier universities used to monitor stand-alone software for each department/sector separately, which has faced the problem of centralization of information. Also, there was a problem of record modification/change in the stand-alone software, In order to update any information in any department/sector. We also need to do the same on every department/sector individually, which is a very tedious, time-consuming, and complex job. To overcome such problems and boosting the functionality of the particular education sector we have managed to introduce the system for the better solution of this problem by making a centralized ERP system i.e. Enterprise Resource Planning, with a general approach for the education environment. No doubt many ERP tools are available in the market but generally, they do not fulfill all the aspects of the education environment, because of the lack of proper requirements gathering. The reason behind this is that all the ERP solutions are made by the industry by assuming the requirements. So this paper provides the implementation of an ERP system for the higher education systems which fulfill all the requirements of higher education institutions after taking the requirements from the education sector for the smooth functioning of their particular institution. Finally in this research we have observed the efficiency of work done before and after the introduction of E-HE system and the promising results were observed for quarter 3rd and 4th for all seven cases. In quarter 1st and 2nd we observe less tasks performed by standalone software whereas for quarter 3rd and 4th after the introduced of E-HE system we have observed enormous increase in performance for the completion of jobs done.

One of the technologies that can optimize the data management system in Higher Education is the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) information system. However, in its implementation, failures often occur. This research was conducted to formulate the key factors for the successful implementation of ERP systems in universities. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through case studies on 4 campuses in West Java. The 20 key factors taken are the result of iterations of 32 works of literature in the 2016-2019 timeframe. The results of the study provide an overview of the key success factors that have emerged at each college and university.

Since most higher education institutions have, or will, implement enterprise resource planning systems (Cramer, 2005), it is important to understand how such an implementation will have an impact throughout an institution. In this chapter, enterprise resource planning systems will be defined, and the benefits to the various constituents of the institution will be described. Barriers (and strategies for overcoming them) will be identified, specifically administration-related barriers, resource allocation barriers, time barriers, barriers related to campus policies, human barriers, and product specific barriers. Leaders of institutions at the crossroads, who are determining whether or not to implement an integrated ERP, can better understand the social implications of such projects as a result of consideration of the key issues raised within this chapter.

In the 1990s there was considerable growth in implementations of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Companies expected these systems to support many of the day-to-day business transactions. The growth in ERP implementations had a resultant impact on the demand for ERP skills. Many universities recognised this demand and the potential of using ERP systems software as a teaching tool and endeavoured to incorporate ERP systems into their curriculum. ERP systems have now evolved to incorporate more strategic components such as business intelligence (BI) solutions. Universities and ERP vendors are investigating ways in which curriculum can be developed to support these new solutions. This chapter discusses a blended approach adopted by a university in the development and implementation of BI curriculum.

This chapter involves an investigation into critical success factors (CSFs) for implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system into an Australian university. Existing ERP research has neglected the higher education sector (HES) worldwide and in Australia, even though a majority of Australian universities have implemented an ERP solution. Findings from the case study found that interviewees discussed 22 of the 29 factors identified from contemporary literature. Additionally, four new factors are identified, namely, competitive edge, service for students, knowledge management, and system ownership.
