The implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) is a risky and high cost action, even more when we are dealing with small and medium sized enterprises. Although many studies have shown the importance of paying attention to critical success factors in ERP implementations, there is still a high degree of failures and bad experiences around ERP implementations. Most literature has shown experiences of success and failure coming from large sized firms. But there is a lack of information of what has happened in the area of small and medium size firms, and for some economies, they are essential. In this chapter, we try to show a model containing the main elements that can better explain the degree of success and of failure in ERP implementations by providing examples mainly affecting to the circumstances of small and medium size firms. In our model, we propose 5 main groups of variables affecting final results in ERP implementations.

An enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is an integrated set of programs that provides support for core organizational activities, such as manufacturing and logistics, finance and accounting, sales and marketing, and human resources. An ERP system helps the different parts of an organization share data and knowledge, reduce costs, and improve management of business processes. In spite of their benefits, many ERP systems fail (Stratman & Roth, 1999). Implementing an ERP system is a major undertaking. About 90% of ERP implementations are late or over budget (Martin, 1998), and the success rate of ERP systems implementation is only about 33% (Zhang et al., 2003).

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.

Future Work

Many quantitative and qualitative studies have been conducted on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation in Large Enterprise (LEs) and Small and Medium-size Enterprises (SMEs) to capture the full benefits of ERP systems, but a survey instrument for identification of the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that contribute in the success of ERP implementation at Indian SMEs still does not exist. This paper develops an ERP implementation success survey instrument (questionnaire) by identifying thirty CSFs for the success of ERP implementation at Indian SMEs. This paper proposes a framework in terms of one scenario to explore the 30 CSFs that determine the success of ERP implementation at Indian SMEs. A quantitative survey based method was used to collect the data from the Indian ERP consultants (respondents). The data collected were analyzed using statistical techniques. Respondents are required to respond to each item (statement) on a Likert five point scale of agreement and disagreement. Whole questionnaire is divided in to five parts Cover Letter, General Proforma, Conceptual Framework, Survey Items and One open ended question supported by thank you letter. Findings are discussed for the future work to bridge the current literature gap and provide practical advice for both ERP academics and practitioners.

Complex Process

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.
