The Enterprise Resource Planning System is a huge and complex information system that enables the whole organization to operate, collaborate and coordinate its activities through the use of a single data repository. It is expensive to procure and takes a long time to implement. As such, organizations are extremely cautious before making the decision on ERP implementation. Once ERP is implemented, organizations need to continuously monitor its performance and its alignment with the organizations strategic objectives. In this paper we describe our work on the development of a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) that can help organizations to evaluate the success of their ERP implementation and measure the benefits obtained. The challenge of developing the tool lies in determining the criteria for an ERP implementation to be successful, identifying measurements of ERP benefits and ascertaining productivity indicators. To acquire all these yardsticks and measures we had to conduct a survey, case studies and interviews. Finally, all the findings were incorporated in the web-based DSS tool and we called this web based system, SEEBAS.

Enterprise Resource Planning system is a software that suitable for the user to earn more ROI by involving business activities. By the way, most organizations are still afraid to adopt this to their organizations. The reason is the high-cost wastage, and also bankruptcy. But it is not true at all the time. ERP can implement to small and medium-sized organizations too. To clarify these points, the paper focuses on the critical factors that affect the success of an ERP implementation process. It will do by a conceptual framework. It review and assertion of 15 hypotheses will carry out using "structural equation modeling technique". The definition of multi-variable technology used since the ability to check multiple linear connections at once simultaneously depends on one or more variables dependently and independently.

This chapter addresses the topic of organizational change brought about through the implementation of an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) at one of Queensland’s regional universities. This chapter describes the institution’s development and its increasing reliance on corporate information systems. The unsuccessful attempt to resolve problems associated with these systems, in particular the student record system via the Core Australian Specification for Management and Administrative Computing (CASMAC) project, is explored. How the need for ERP adoption was presented to staff is then examined. The reactions of staff to the implementation experience are then explored using preliminary results from focus group interviews. The chapter concludes by comparing the expectations, reactions, and outcomes of the ERP project with some recommendations suggested for improving organizational change induced by ERP implementation.

Nowadays, the adoption of a new enterprise resource planning system is a highly complex process, and it is not as easy as people imagine. It is a challenging task that requires rigorous efforts, careful thinking, and proper planning. Likewise, it demands a detailed analysis of such factors that are critical to the implementation. The field has sparked an immense interest in the research community, and hence several previous studies have tried to assess the current status of these systems and address some issues in the literature reviews. First, the research aims to conduct a comprehensive literature survey, in order to address some issues related to the implementation and management of ERP, and point out overall trends. Afterwards, we tried to provide a contribution to the research field of the critical success factors (CSFs) of ERP projects based on a systematic approach to review a large number of refereed papers published between 2006 and 2018 on ERP from which a large number of documents relating to CSFs on ERP were extracted, and selected for analysis. From that review, we led a survey through which we tried to investigate and examine the different critical success factors that need to be considered to ensure the success of ERP systems.

This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the successful (critical successfactors) of ERP implementation in the company's client PT. Artsys Integrasi Solusindo. The data used are primary data using questionnaires from respondents. This research was conducted on 13 companies that have implemented ERP, with 80 respondents being used as samples. The sampling method in this study uses non-probability sampling with a quota sampling technique based on criteria. The analytical tool used in this study is regression analysis. The research hypothesis testing was completed using t-test, F-test and descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that Change Management, Project Management, Top Management Sponsorship, Realistic Scope Setting, and Adequate Budget are factors that influence the success of ERP implementation. While the factor of Education in an ERP project does not have a significant effect. But simultaneously, the six factors can explain the relation to the success of ERP implementation with the R-square value of 67.6%. With this research, it is expected that ERP consultants and implementers and the companies that are currently and will implement ERP to pay attention and prepare well the factors that determine the success of ERP implementation.

Power IT is an autonomous company of about 200 staff producing and repairing power conversion supplies. Eighteen months after adopting an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system the chief executive officer wanted an investigation into the performance of the system. This was to focus on its technical capabilities and its acceptance by users, since it was not delivering the anticipated gains in profits. The results of the investigation reported here reveal problems with the acquisition and implementation process. This case highlights the difficulties that can be encountered by organizations that attempt to tailor an enterprise resource planning system tithe existing business practices. In particular, the need for careful impact analysis of proposed software modifications and effective change management within the entire project is demonstrated.
