Contemporary ERP systems have various applications. Today, they are successfully used both in material value adding areas and in services rendering / work performance areas. Taking into account the business’ specific features is crucial for selection of software that will automate the activities of each organizational structural unit and the enterprise as a whole. The task of selecting and implementing contemporary ERP systems for business management requires conducting detailed analysis to identify the advantages and drawbacks of their application, as well as determine economic benefits from application of this information and analytical system. In this research, we relied on methods of economic and comparative analysis and used a systemic approach. The main purpose of research is finding arguments proving the practical value of purchasing an ERP system. The paper presents this research containing information on economic benefits that an enterprise could gain after ERP system implementation. According to the author, using a contemporary information and analytical system makes it possible to solve one of the most important tasks – improve business reliability and controllability through application of contemporary information technologies, which is particularly relevant as enterprise management procedures are growing ever more complicated.

Information systems have evolved at a continual pace since administrations began to develop greater interest in production processes and supply chains. This created systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRPII). This research discusses a literature search conducted to map the multicriteria models used to select ERP systems. As a result, this article proposes criteria and subcriteria to be used in the selection of ERP systems. The basic structure is developed around a tree and subcriteria tree that can be used as a checklist for companies wishing to acquire an ERP system.

With the fast development of information technologies and enterprise software, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are increasingly adopted by more small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Based on this trend, it is necessary to develop ERP systems in a manner that meets and fits the SMEs requirements and needs. This paper proposes conceptual components of ERP requirements that are required for generating ERP system functions. In addition, it proposes an ERP requirements analysis method for ERP system developments in order to produce the proper ERP system functions for SMEs. The advantage of this analysis method is that it is easy to analyze and integrate the special requirements of the ERP development for distinguishing a sub-sector of SMEs. In this paper, by analyzing the components of requirements and the relationship of the business process modelling, several basic concepts are given and the method of the process analysis and modelling is also expressed.

In this chapter we focus on the early stage of evaluating and selecting an ERP system prior to implementation. Only a part of decision making for ERP systems can be handled by a definite or accepted procedure such as standard investment calculations. There are many other intangible decision-making criteria needing to be judged and evaluated by the decision makers. There is no agreed-upon and formal procedure for this important task (Hecht 1997; Laudon & Laudon, 1998). Therefore it seems necessary to investigate decision-making practices to increase the understanding of this complex and important task. We also focus on the decision-making situation faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This is of particular importance because SMEs are more and more experiencing the need for integration, especially for interorganizational integration, and expecting ERP software to fulfill these needs. The availability of relatively inexpensive hardware is fostering this situation (Gable & Stewart, 1999). In general, decision making in SMEs features much greater constraints on the ability to gather information in order to reduce uncertainty about their investment (Cobham, 2000). Considering ERP software decisions with its complex and far-reaching implications, poor decision making by SMEs can result in disastrous situations.

The article is devoted to the problem of teaching students whose future profession is associated with management. Since the beginning of the 2000s, there has been a steady increase in the interest of managers in ERP-systems, allowing complex automation of the activities of all departments of the enterprise. In the same period, the demand for specialists with the skills to work with modern ERP systems, such as SAP, “1C:ERP 2”, “Galactica”, etc., also increases. Despite the fact that the problem of training specialists in this field for the last 10 years has been paid close attention, and in scientific publications there are new articles on the issues of training, able to work professionally with ERP-systems, currently there is no well-formed approach to this problem. The author of the article shares his experience of training students in the areas of “State and municipal management” and “Management” to work with the system “1C:ERP 2” and offers a number of recommendations for quality training of students. The process of training students becomes more effective if, before studying the ERP-system, they are given the opportunity to work in one of the programs “1C:Accounting public institution” or “1C:Enterprise Accounting 8” to acquire initial skills in working with “1C” software products. In the research process, the method of economic analysis and a systematic approach were used. The scientific and practical significance of the research results is in the development of guidelines for the quality training of future leaders in order to form competencies that allow university graduates to professionally solve problems related to management issues using IT. The article can be useful for teachers engaged in teaching students modern information technologies.

Despite the level of the information technology spread in Ukraine being lower than in other countries ERP systems are introduced both on the levels of commercial and government organizations. Although there is an adaptation to the national and language features of different countries in ERP systems, their introduction into Ukrainian markets relates to a range of difficulties. Information safety issues and the issues of changes in management accounts and business accounting that appear when introducing ERP system are the main difficulties for Ukrainian enterprises. The research of information security considers such main aspects as the network security, the data base (DB) security, the security on the level of application server and the information security on the client’s computer. The determination of the main principles of the information security and the suggestion of the stages of building the ERP security control subsystem aim at preventing deliberate or accidental information leak. Features of Ukrainian legislation, differences of Ukrainian business accounting standards from the international ones and the management features should be considered when introducing ERP system. The company executives, in their turn, should understand the urgent need in introducing information technologies, realize that the information system is a management system and not only the system of accounting and should meet the requirements and standards of ERP management.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of a hybrid enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, combining an ERP system with enterprise social software (ESS). The study will provide a critical assessment of the implementation of this process technology. Design/methodology/approach Multiple case studies of organisations based in China were conducted to understand the use of ERP systems in different contexts. Following an evaluation of the context of each ERP implementation (within-case analysis) the research draws a cross-case conclusion that defines the nature of a hybrid ERP system and then synthesises the propositions related to the benefits and challenges of implementation. Findings The authors find that a hybrid ERP system is able to support efficiency in business process management and also provide a flexible response to changes in business requirements. It does this by allowing for the continued use of informal processes that cannot be incorporated into the ERP system. Practical implications This research indicates how ERP systems in conjunction with ESS can provide a flexible response to changing business requirements and increase collaboration within the organisation. Key lessons include the need to perform informal activities under the guidance of managers and provide clear boundaries for the implementation of informal activities. Originality/value This study has found that the use of case studies can provide a valuable insight into the use of a hybrid ERP system from the perspective of its use within the organisation as a work system that requires an assessment of the context within which organisational members perform their work.
