In the past few years, the information
technology has emerged as a key driving force for
growth of business organizations. The trend of
implementing the latest tools and technologies has
reached to maximum extent. The majority of business
organizations has adopted new and innovative tools
to manage their business tasks effectively. In this
scenario, an enterprise resource planning (ERP)
system is a huge information system that
organizations implement to manage their business
tasks. This is a huge information system which links
almost all the business departments and functional
areas. This report presents a detailed analysis of an
enterprise resource planning system. The
implementation of an enterprise resource planning
system requires taking into consideration various
critical factors, which are essential to be considered
in order to make this implementation fruitful. This
report presents a detailed discussion on the
advantages provided by ERPs to business
organizations. The basic purpose of this report is to
analyze critical success factors involved in the
implementation of ERPs. This report also presents
recommendations with every factor that an
organization can follow to make best use of these
systems.

Nowadays, Information Technology (IT) plays an important role in efficiency and effectiveness of the
organizational performance. As an IT application, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is
considered one of the most important IT applications because it enables the organizations to connect and
interact with its administrative units in order to manage data and organize internal procedures. Many
institutions use ERP systems, most notably Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). However, many projects
fail or exceed scheduling and budget constraints; the rate of failure in HEIs sector is higher than in other
sectors. With HEIs’ recent movement to implement ERP systems and the lack of research studies examining
successful implementation in HEIs, this paper provides a critical literature review with a special focus on
Saudi Arabia. Further, it defines Critical Success Factors (CSFs) contributing to the success of ERP
implementation in HEIs. This paper is part of a larger research effort aiming to provide guidelines and

Integration impediment during ERP Developmentijtsrd
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems have increasingly been developed and integrated with other internal and external systems. This paper contributes to the field of enterprise systems integration by clarifying the concept of integration in the context of ERP systems. We investigated integration obstacles during ERP development in 5 large organizations through theme-based interviews. Besides considering integration as purely technical challenge, our findings reveal the other perspectives of integration. In total 31 environmental, technical, managerial, and organizational integration obstacles were identified from empirical data and further mapped with 13 ERP challenge categories derived from the literature. Our findings reveal that integration barriers are related to all 13 categories of ERP challenges. This indicates that integration should not be a separate project from ERP development.

ERP Implementation Success Factors in Saudi ArabiaCSCJournals
A review of the literature on successful implementation of ERP reveals that there are many case studies undertaken by researches, but very few have empirically examined the success factors of ERP implementation. While most of those empirical studies were undertaken in Western countries, very few had examined the implementations in Middle Eastern countries and none in Saudi Arabia. Factors and challenges of ERP implementation in developing countries differ from those of Western countries. Hence a gap in the literature that examines Middle Eastern countries exists. This study is motivated to fill such gap by going beyond case study and boundaries of Western counties to empirically examine the determinants of successful ERP implementation in Saudi Arabia. The main purpose of this study is to examine the influence of some critical factors on successful implementation of ERP.

Success Factors for Enterprise Systems in the Higher Education Sector: A Case...inventionjournals
Many large organisations have moved to Enterprise System solutions in recent years, including the higher education sector (HES). Whilst the benefits of Enterprise systems are well known, the sector has a social mission and characteristics that do not necessarily map to a commercially-focused corporate conceptualization, and assessing the suitability of any particular enterprise solution requires a qualified set of criteria to be applied. This paper looks at an “essential set” of critical success factors (CSFs) relevant to enterprise systems in the HES and applies them in a case study of a large Australian University. The CSFs found to be most relevant to successful ES deployment show differences from CSFs reported in other studies, mainly those in commercial sectors, suggesting a sector based approach be taken to evaluating ES success. We generalise our practical findings to theory, and propose further theory development and validation through confirmatory case studies and specific hypothesis testing.

Capability Maturity Assessment is one of the tools consistently leveraged by Enterprise Project and Portfolio Manage-ment (EPM) practitioners in the creation of adoption roadmaps for organizations that are creating momentum for change with the objective of improving internal governance. Historically, the problem has been addressed in parallel at the Project, Program, or Portfolio levels, and in many cases the solutions devised have been independent of one anoth-er, potentially missing on integration aspects that could greatly improve overall results. In the past couple of years, new methodologies that attempt to encompass all three disciplines have been developed, including OPM3 from the PMI.
Study on Factors for Improving The Effectiveness Of ERP Within Korea Agricult...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: ERP implementation issues have been given much attention as the size of Agricultural Products Processing Center (APC) in Korea gets bigger and bigger. The goal of this study is to find the factors that influence the effect of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) adoption to help improve the business environment of the ERP users, especially in agricultural industry. This study tries to apply traditional IS theory into agricultural industry. By testing multiple aspects in different stages, the study derives more comprehensive factors that positively influence the adoption of ERP. By conducting a survey, the study observed hands-on ERP operators who work at APC which had previously adopted ERP. The study categorizes independent variables into three stages such as pre-adoption, adoption, and post-adoption. Satisfaction, system utility, work efficiency, professionalism, and standardization are examined as dependent variables. Cronbach’s alpha is used to test the reliability of the survey questionnaires in each category and multiple regression analysis is used to derive factors that have an effect on ERP adoption. Discussions on the results of data analysis are made
Manufacturing Companies today are constantly in search for ways to achieve
better business performance and sustain competitive advantages through effective
deployment of resources and business processes. To improve business performance,
Manufacturing Companies require an efficient planning and control system that
synchronizes planning of all processes across the industry. Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) provides a centralized framework for all data and processes of an
industry. It integrates all aspects of a business from planning to inventory control,
manufacturing, sales, marketing, finance, customer service and human resources.
Manufacturing Companies undertake ERP implementations to achieve tangible
benefits including a significant return on investment. Accordingly the most common
benefit of Manufacturing Company is for an increase in response time due to better
availability of information. Another common benefit is increase in interaction across
the company, integration of business operations/processes, improved interaction with
customers, reduced direct operating and labour costs, reduced IT maintenance costs,
improved lead-time, improved inventory levels and improved interaction with
suppliers. A study was undertaken to assess impact of ERP as a Change Management
Tool in Manufacturing Companies. This article presents the key findings, conclusions
and suggestions.
Investigation and Study of Vital Factors in Selection, Implementation and Sat...IJECEIAES
Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in India are the most productive job designers and forerunners in developing new ideas in the field of business. SMEs not only play a vital role in providing large scale employment openings at reasonably lower capital than large businesses but also help in industrialization of rural areas in India. SMEs are complementary to large industries as subsidiary units and this sector contributes immensely to the socio-economic development of the country. Small and Medium scale industries have grown tremendously in the last 5 decades. In spite of high enthusiasm and intrinsic capabilities to grow, there are a number of problems faced by SME‟s; one of them is the „technological obsolescence‟. The SME sector in order to outcome this challenge must make advances in the field of engineering and technology. Adoption of Information Communication Technology in their business process can enhance their productivity and global competency.in the market. In this connection Enterprise Resource Planning plays a vital role in the SME‟s business process strategy. Hence there is a need for the motivation to implement ERP and find whether the current ICT solution the industries using are adequate for their strategy. In this paper we try to find out which ERP vendors does the SME sectors prefer, are the features of the ERP system and the implementation methodology selected have met the business goals and user satisfaction.

As companies enter into the digital world, information technology is playing a major role in bringing
process improvements to the forefront of business management. In the recent decades, many organizations
have struggled to redesign and improve their business processes to reduce their total cost. The main
contribution of this research study is to propose an intelligent framework that possesses the ability to
employ a database of best practices, business standards, and business activity history in order to permit the
manager to analyze and improve the design of the business processes.
In addition, the other objective of this research is to build a business process or workflow directly from its
process design logic in order to enable rapid process development and deployment. This procedure
requires some technical improvements of the business design, as it is mainly based on building the business
process using Microsoft Office Visio, which communicates the defined business process to the business
process management engine.

Developing The Project Communication Plan
A project communication plan is used to facilitate effective and efficient communication with the various stakeholders during its implementation. An effective communication plan includes certain key elements such as communication objectives, important content for the dissemination, target audiences and the methods to be used as well as the frequency. A good two-way channel of communications is crucial for the success of the implementation of an ERP system or any other system in general. Good communication can be used to inform all key stakeholders on the progress of the project as well as reveal omissions and misallocation of resources early enough to allow for rectification and revision.
For this case, a communication plan will be used to keep all the stakeholders and managers informed and updated on all the happenings and progress of the ERP system implementation process. There are several forms of communication that will be used to communicate to all users on how their jobs will change, how they will be trained to use the new system and many more activities such as key milestones achieved and the overall implementation progress. The first form of communication will be through status reports, and these reports will constitute of content such as expected risks that could affect the system and what deliverables will be aligned with risk mitigation and contingencies put in place in case of the risk materializes. These reports will be sent electronically to key stakeholders such as the company's CEO, CFO, and IT director on a weekly basis.
The second form of communication will via newsletters and emails, and these channels will work well for disseminating announcements since the company has a broad target audience which is geographically distributed in different locations. This technique will be used to provide information relevant to the project progress as well as information about the ongoing and upcoming activities throughout the ERP implementation process. These emails and newsletters will be sent on a weekly basis to the IT director, the systems administrator, sales and advertising director as well as the web developer.
The final form of communication will be through meetings where stakeholders who include the IT director, the systems administrator and their teams will be briefed weekly on the progress of the implementation process through face-to-face meetings. On the other hand, the executive will receive the overall updates on a monthly basis which will start with a visua ...

Technical Performance Analysis of AMPS vs. TDMA Wireless Cellular System Desi...zillesubhan
Telecommunication is one of the integral parts of science that has always been a focus point for
exchanging information among parties at locations. The term `mobile' has completely revolutionized the
communication by opening up innovative applications that are limited to one's imagination. Today, mobile
communication has become the backbone of the society and is spreading very fast when the government throughout
the world provided radio spectrum licenses for Personal Communication Service (PCS) in 1.8 - 2 GHz frequency
band. The first generation networks in the market were AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) deployed in
Chicago in 1983. The main technology of this first generation mobile system was AMPS. However, the second
generation networks based on Digital modulation formats that were introduced in this generation with the main
technology as TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). In this research paper, we assume our company name as
Telecom Mobile Company has a budget of $20 million with the population of 850, 000 users that can be affording
only 33 cells where the cluster size is 7. Therefore, each cell costs about $250,000 and each user channel in the cell
site costs to $1000. The cluster having 395 voice channels, so the number of channel per cell can be 395/7=56
channels in a Hexagonal Cell Structure. The calculation work is done such as coverage area, distance, signal to
interference ratio, Receiver Sensitivity, Noise Density, Path loss, Okumura model, etc. for AMPS and TDMA design
based on Telecom Mobile Company’s budget. From this paper, TDMA is the efficient utilization of hierarchical cell
structures that allows coverage for the system to be tailored to support specific traffic and service needs whereas
AMPS is not very efficient. From cellular system designing, consequently TDMA offers a flexible air interface,
providing high performance with respect to capacity, coverage, and unlimited support of mobility and capability to
handle different types of user needs. In AMPS, each user can access a channel on a continuous time basis
according where TDMA provides the voice conversation that allows more users to carry a secured conversation on
the same channel as users were assigned different time slots. Moreover, the designing approach for AMPS and
TDMA is same except that in TDMA, each channel is shared by 3 different user in hexagonal cell on Telecom
Mobile Company budget based on our assumptions.
An Empirical Study of SQA Function Effectiveness in CMMI Certified Companies ...zillesubhan
The most vital component for any software development process is, “quality”, as it ensures the reliability and effectiveness of new software. Software Quality Assurance (SQA) techniques as well as a standardized qualitative metric known as Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) are used to ensure this quality. The purposes of both the practices are same as both make efforts for end product’s quality. In spite of this, CMMI certified organizations have SQA function, but face a lot of issues, which resulted in lowering the quality of the products. Standards usually provide documentation, but SQA consider testing as a chief element and also documentation only for authentication and appraisals. The relationship of the SQA function with CMMI has not attended much in common literatures. This paper is centered on investigation conducted through data collection from diverse CMMI certified software development firm to check the practice of SQA function.

Geographically Distributed Software Development (GSD) process differs from Collocated Software Development (CSD) process in various technical aspects. It is empirically proven that renowned process improvement initiatives applicable to CSD are not very effective for GSD. The objective of this research is to review the existing literature (both academia and industrial) to identify initiatives and key factors which play key role in the improvement and maturity of a GSD process, to achieve this goal we planned a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following a standard protocol. Three highly respected sources are selected to search for the relevant literature which resulted in a large number of TOIs (Title of Interest). An inter-author custom protocol is outlined and followed to shortlist most relevant articles for review. The data is extracted from this set of finally selected articles. We have performed both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the extracted data to obtain the results. The concluded results identify several initiatives and key factors involved in GSD and answer each research question posed by the SLR.
Integrated Analysis of Traditional Requirements Engineering Process with Agil...zillesubhan
In the past few years, agile software development approach has emerged as a most attractive software development approach. A typical CASE environment consists of a number of CASE tools operating on a common hardware and software platform and note that there are a number of different classes of users of a CASE environment. In fact, some users such as software developers and managers wish to make use of CASE tools to support them in developing application systems and monitoring the progress of a project. This development approach has quickly caught the attention of a large number of software development firms. However, this approach particularly pays attention to development side of software development project while neglects critical aspects of requirements engineering process. In fact, there is no standard requirement engineering process in this approach and requirements engineering activities vary from situation to situation. As a result, there emerge a large number of problems which can lead the software development projects to failure. One of major drawbacks of agile approach is that it is suitable for small size projects with limited team size. Hence, it cannot be adopted for large size projects. We claim that this approach can be used for large size projects if traditional requirements engineering approach is combined with agile manifesto. In fact, the combination of traditional requirements engineering process and agile manifesto can also help resolve a large number of problems exist in agile development methodologies. As in software development the most important thing is to know the clear customer’s requirements and also through modeling (data modeling, functional modeling, behavior modeling). Using UML we are able to build efficient system starting from scratch towards the desired goal. Through UML we start from abstract model and develop the required system through going in details with different UML diagrams. Each UML diagram serves different goal towards implementing a whole project.
Different Approaches using Change Impact Analysis of UML Based Design for Sof...zillesubhan
Because of rapidly changing technologies,
requirements for the software systems are
constantly changing. This requires a change in
software design as well, as design should be
traceable to the requirements. There is a strong
need to deal with these changes in a systematic
manner. For this purpose, proper decision
making and change planning is required to
effectively implement the change. Change Impact
Analysis provides its services in this regard, by
allowing us to assess the potential side - effects
of change and also helps us in identifying that
what is needed to be modified to accomplish the
change. A number of impact analysis techniques
have been proposed that perform impact analysis
of UML based software design using a certain
strategy and methodology. In order to explore
the strengths and weaknesses of different
approaches toward impact analysis, this survey
paper includes an evaluation criterion for the
comparison of different impact analysis
techniques and a thorough analysis of these
techniques based on evaluation criteria.
Requirements Analysis and Design in the Context of Various Software Developme...zillesubhan
Software Engineering is a significant domain of Computer Science that deals with all the activities associated with the
software development. Basically, a software is developed in a number of phases and each phase is closely linked to all other
phases. The success and failure of a phase can heavily affect the other phases. Both requirements analysis and software design
are significant phases of the software development process. In fact, the successful completion of a software development task
heavily depends on the successful completion of these two phases. This paper is a comparative study of requirements engineering
and design phases of different software development approaches. The major objective of this research is to present a detailed
analysis of requirements and design phases of traditional and agile software development approaches.
ORGANIZATIONAL SITUATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FIRMS: PROBL...zillesubhan
Being a Muslim, it is our responsibility to obey the rules and principles defined by our religion (Islam) in all the walks of life. Without a doubt, Islam is a complete religion and it has addressed every aspect of life in a detailed manner. In this scenario, whether it is a matter of personal life, social life or professional life, Islam gives appropriate guidelines for all the aspects of life. In addition, we learn these principles and rules from Quran and Hadiths. In fact, it becomes our obligation to follow whatever is written in the Quran and Hadiths. But, in our daily lives, we have a large number of situations where we ignore these religious sayings. In fact, these situations occur in our lives so frequently that we have become used to these situations. This paper addresses some of these situations with respect to organizational environment where we ignore Islamic values and principles over other unimportant activities. In this paper, we have addressed these issues with respect to software development firms. The basic purpose of addressing these issues is to make software development firms and their employees responsive of their religious duties while performing their duties.
Support for Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering in Elastic Cloud Applicationszillesubhan
Businesses have already started to exploit potential uses of cloud computing as a new paradigm for promoting their services. Although the general concepts they practically focus on are: viability, survivability, adaptability, etc., however, on the ground, there is still a lack for forming mechanisms to sustain viability with adaptation of new requirements in cloud-based applications. This has inspired a pressing need to adopt new methodologies and abstract models which support system acquisition for self-adaptation, thus guaranteeing autonomic cloud application behavior. This paper relies over state-of-the-art Neptune framework as runtime adaptive software development environment supported with intention-oriented modeling language in the representation and adaptation of goal based model artifacts and their intrinsic properties requirements. Such an approach will in turn support distributed service based applications virtually over the cloud to sustain a self-adaptive behavior with respect to its functional and non-functional characteristics.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Abstract:- In the past few years, the information
technology has emerged as a key driving force for
growth of business organizations. The trend of
implementing the latest tools and technologies has
reached to maximum extent. The majority of business
organizations has adopted new and innovative tools
to manage their business tasks effectively. In this
scenario, an enterprise resource planning (ERP)
system is a huge information system that
organizations implement to manage their business
tasks. This is a huge information system which links
almost all the business departments and functional
areas. This report presents a detailed analysis of an
enterprise resource planning system. The
implementation of an enterprise resource planning
system requires taking into consideration various
critical factors, which are essential to be considered
in order to make this implementation fruitful. This
report presents a detailed discussion on the
advantages provided by ERPs to business
organizations. The basic purpose of this report is to
analyze critical success factors involved in the
implementation of ERPs. This report also presents
recommendations with every factor that an
organization can follow to make best use of these
systems.
Keywords: ERP, Business strategy, Cross-
Organizational Integration
1. INTRODUCTION
An enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is
regarded as a huge, complex, unified, all-
encompassing, a suite of tools and services that is
developed to provide support for major serviceable
departments of a business organization or industry. In
addition, a huge system of an enterprise resource
planning is required for information storage that
collects and combines data and information from a
wide variety of sources (such as departments and
other entities), existing within as well as outside the
corporation. However, it can also be used to supply
instantaneous data and information to business
workers as well as other associates. In the past few
years, the majority of large organizations has adopted
a wide variety of ERP solutions as a fundamental tool
for their businesses to combine systems such as
supply chain management (SCM) and put together an
inter-organization and global combined processes
across whole organizational processes. In this
scenario, the implementation of these ERP systems
ensures the reduction in time to carry out business
activities as well as help business organizations
improve their information sharing capabilities,
supporting a coordinated and integrated workflow
among various supply chain stakeholders [1, 2, 3, 4].
In addition, the adoption of ERP system in
conjunction with other information systems normally
involves three life cycle stages comprising
assortment, application and process. Additionally, the
final stage can be further extended in two stages
known as a stabilization stage and a routine stage. In
this scenario, the existing researches and studies on
ERP systems have always paid attention to either
assessing the suitability and effectiveness of the ERP
system in comparison with software, specialists, or
solution providers or determining critical success
factors (CSFs) which can have tremendous impact on
the assortment and execution of an ERP system,
however the literature does not show any
considerable endeavor to determining the possible
post-implementation impact [1, 2, 3, 4].
Additionally, up till now a large number of
researches have been conducted to determine a wide
variety of precarious success factors which revealed a
number of critical success factors involved in the
selection and application of enterprise resource
planning systems. Some of these critical success
factors include obvious implementation goals, top
management assistance and participation, scope of
implementation and planning, implementation
objectives, project team capabilities and management

of these team members, user education and effective
communication, training, business process
reengineering, change management, stakeholders
participation and communication, project
management, data analysis and conversion; experts
and consultants, selection of architecture, project
sponsor, and marginal customization [1, 2, 3, 4].
Though, these critical success factors are not for all
the time significant at all stages of the ERP lifecycle,
but the majority of them have significant impact on
implementation as well as operational efficiency. In
this scenario, the greater impact of these achievement
factors with regard to ERP implementation remains
in the operational stage. While the stabilization stage
requires the ERP systems to undergo a post-
implementation breaking-in period in which
efficiency and effectiveness would not be typical of
the enduring effects that a business firm can face. On
the other hand, in the routine phase, the application of
an enterprise resource planning system can be
regarded as a success only from a technical point of
assessment, however at this stage the success of the
implementation completely relies on the users of that
enterprise resource planning system and their
attitudes toward the implementation and particular
function for which this system is being implemented
[1, 2, 3, 4].
It is an admitted fact that the business organization
can attain a large number of benefits from the use of
enterprise resource planning systems simply to the
extent that their employees acknowledge and use
them normally and broadly. Hence, with the purpose
of increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of ERP
systems in the operation stage, a firm needs to carry
out extensive research in order to determine factors
that can affect their employees’ satisfaction. In this
scenario, there is a commonly used model to
determine behavioral intent and usage of the system.
This model is known as technological acceptance
model (TAM). In fact, this model can help business
organization understand influences that improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of ERP system
utilization. Though, in their researches a number of
researchers and scholars have adopted TAM to
observe the usage of an ERP system, however some
researchers took into consideration a wide variety of
external aspects and elements that that can affect
ERP system procedure in the stabilization stage or
intent to use an ERP system. In view of the fact that a
small number of external elements do not clarify
employees’ perspectives on the subject of specific
systems, however the majority of researchers
concentrates on simply a small number of external
factors [1, 2, 3, 4].
The basic purpose of this research paper is to assess
the usefulness of ERPs for business organizations.
This research paper will discuss a number of critical
success factors collected from different researches.
The basic purpose of this research is to determine the
impact of these critical factors on ERP
implementation.
2. BENEFITS OF ENTERPRISE RESOURCE
PLANNING SYSTEMS (ERPS)
In this ever-increasing and extremely
competitive worldwide business atmosphere,
business organizations always look for tools and
techniques to improve or retain their level of
competitiveness by making use of information
systems to effectively support customer service,
minimize expenditure and cut down cycle times. In
this scenario, enterprise resource planning systems
offer a large number of advantages to business
organizations with the intention that they can get
together varying prospects by offering precise,
appropriate, and combined information to improve
the capability of decision making. Additionally,
researches conducted to determine the efficiency of
ERP systems shown vague results. Some studies have
shown that business organizations can attain
considerably greater stock returns upon publicizing
the implementation of an enterprise resource
planning system. However, some studies point out
considerably higher long-standing return on assets
(ROA) for ERP adopters compared with non-
adopters [5, 6, 7].
In view of the fact that the implementation
and use of an enterprise resource planning system has
turned out to be a focal point of organizations and
technology planning, however this implementation is
still time consuming and costly with a large number
of projects costing more, taking longer, and providing
less than anticipated. In addition, adoption,
configuration, and integration of information flows
and business processes highly depend on an
organization’s ability. Without a doubt, an
organization can put into practice enterprise resource
planning system, however it needs to effectively and
successfully adopt, reconfigure, and put together its
data and information flows as well as business
operations on a long-term base for the reason that
markets and trends transform quickly and every day a
new technology is invented. Additionally, in order to
successfully implement an ERP system it needs to
effectively redesign business tasks from a rigid,
mass-transaction direction to a lean, agile, and
knowledge-based process. In this scenario, all

through business process change endeavors, business
organizations must integrate matching education and
training courses, working actions, and information
technologies to provide support for the new
environment. Moreover, the successful and
appropriate implementation of ERP will result in
improved organizational efficiency mainly because of
redesigned business processes, quick reporting
cycles, integrated administrative tasks, and extended
information potential [5, 6, 7].
3. BUSINESS STRATEGY
In their paper (HassabElnaby et al., 2012)
discuss four classes of business strategy
organizations. These four classes include defenders,
prospectors, analyzers, and reactors. In this scenario,
each class of business strategy encompasses an
exclusive configuration of structural and contextual
factors. In this scenario, this idea is practical for the
reason that it relies on an organization’s product-
market orientation strategy that takes into
consideration the environmental factors [5, 6, 7].
How does the Implementation of an ERP System
improve the business strategy
The implementation of huge information
systems for instance ERP has serious impact on
business strategies of organizations. In this scenario,
a business strategy can require long-standing
planning and can include various actions such as
market segmentation, supplier and customer
relationship management, mergers and acquisitions,
capital formation, products sourcing, and product
improvement. It is an admitted fact that an
organization’s capability to have access to required
information helps them attain a competitive edge
over their competitors and initiate various strategic
programs. In this scenario, the implementation
of enterprise resource planning systems provides
excellent support and capabilities for business
organizations to carry on and become accustomed.
Additionally, business organizations need to put into
practice processes, actions, practices, systems, and
metrics that can be helpful in supporting their
business strategy. In view of the fact that an
enterprise resource planning system can quickly
provide a wide-ranging collection of interconnected
data and information to business executives to
support them in decision making, business
organizations can attain competitive edge and
strategic objectives for instance market
differentiation, cost management. In fact, ERP
systems facilitate business organizations to follow
tactical choices for instance product improvements,
mergers and alliances, cost management, and market
differentiation and segmentation. In this scenario, the
implementation of an ERP system has an optimistic
effect on the implementation of prospector-type
business strategy for the reason that it efficiently
supports this strategy [5, 6, 7].
4. ORGANIZATIONAL CAPABILITIES
The research has shown that ERP systems
have considerable impact on organizational
capabilities, which are an organization’s abilities to
carry out a wide variety of jobs by making use of
business resources. Additionally, the basic purpose of
business organizations behind the development and
management of these organizational capabilities is to
attain a competitive edge by developing organization-
specific potentials. In this scenario, with constant
utilization, organization’s abilities turn out to be
much stronger and more complicated for opponents
to copy. Hence, the business organizations invest its
time and money in information technology (IT) to
make its operational tasks more well-organized and
competent (HassabElnaby et al., 2012; Shatat &
Udin, 2012; Sanchez & Yague, 2010). (See appendix
for more detail)
How does the Implementation of an ERP System
improve the organizational capabilities
It is an admitted fact that ERP systems have
a significant impact on business abilities. Up till now,
the majority of researches and studies conducted to
determine the impact of enterprise resource planning
on business organizations have demonstrated that
ERP systems are advantageous to attain tactical,
managerial, operational, management and IT
infrastructure objectives. In this scenario, ERP
systems facilitate business organizations with more
accurate, precise and appropriate information
synchronization. Hence, it helps organization
minimize managerial and inventory expenditures and
increases receptiveness to market variations and
trends. In addition, reduction of buffer inventory and
lead times improve the flexibility and efficiency of
the business organization. As a result, in both
practical and theoretical viewpoint, it is important for
business organizations to determine the impact of
ERP systems on organizations [5, 6, 7].
Moreover, various researches and studies
have shown that organizations can improve their
capabilities by implementing enterprise resource
planning systems. In this scenario, precise and quick
access to information allows a company’s employees
to collaborate and coordinate across business tasks all
the way through various departments. In fact, they

can share data, information, knowledge resources,
thoughts, and easily work together in the form of a
group, as well as attain common objectives
cooperatively with other workers from different
departments as well as with other organizations and
stakeholders located at different locations.
Additionally, the implementation and use of an ERP
system also provide an excellent support for the
establishment of data warehouses with the intention
that business executives can be able to have quick
access to correct data and information when it is
required for effective decision making and
management. According to cybernetic control theory,
if a firm wants to become accustomed as well as
carry on in its setting, its decision makers should
have quick response on major efficiency and
performance indicators in adequate time to become
aware of unforeseen divergence, take suitable acts
and monitor system responses. The implementation
of an effective ERP system allows an organization to
effectively detain, process, and distribute a wide
variety of important performance indicators in (close
to) instantaneous, and a way that allows business
executives to direct and share their decisions across
the firms. Hence, an effectively implemented ERP
system improves organizational capabilities such as
product diversity, information access, process
improvement, and monetary flexibility [5, 6, 7].
The majority of business organizations
expects their latest ERP systems should allow process
improvements. As discussed above, the
implementation of an ERP system also helps business
organizations improve their existing processes
through which they carry out their business tasks. In
this scenario, enterprise resource planning systems
develop a bridge between information technologies
and business processes into a coordinated set of
processes, metrics and applications that go beyond
firm boundaries. In addition, effectively managing a
product range is not simply a production issue,
however a major confront for sales also. In this
scenario, the implementation of an ERP system
facilitates business organizations to organize products
professionally and create superior diversity
competently. Moreover, ERP systems help business
organizations improve their management and
execution capabilities through which they can more
voluntarily recognize market opportunities and risks,
produce innovative concepts and ideas. Furthermore,
the latest researches have shown that enterprise
resource planning systems have a positive effect on a
firm's financial performance. In fact, the
implementation of ERP systems can lead an
organization to continued operational performance
and enhanced overall liquidity [5, 6, 7].
5. EXAMPLES OF ERPS
Some of the well-known enterprise resource
planning systems include SAP/R3, Oracle and
PeopleSoft which provide suites of software
packages that assure the flawless incorporation of a
wide variety of information flowing in all directions
all the way through the business organization, such as
information on accounting and economics, supply
chains, human resources and sales and customers. In
addition, these ERP systems are normally advertised
as standard information technology solutions that
allow business organizations to attain quicker the
processes on the earth and are able to “engage
sequence times, minimized expenditures, and
enhanced customer service. In fact, a wide variety of
advantages and opportunities offered by these ERP
systems have caught the attention of a large number
of firms to implement ERPs in the past few years. In
addition, the superiority and sophistication of ERP
systems have not simply improved the capability of
business firms to get together more data and
information in depth and in instantaneous ways, but
they have also brought about the more widespread
lateral and vertical dispersion of information all the
way through the enterprise. Moreover, the exhaustive
utilization of information as a tool to manage and
control business tasks has been recommended by a
large number of researchers. Without a doubt, the
easily accessible information makes sure that
business executives stay well-informed on
themselves in the decisions of the subordinates” [8].
6. COST OF ERP IMPLEMENTATIONS
In the past few years the majority of
business organizations has adopted these innovative
information systems. The research shows that more
than 70% organizations having a staff of more than
2500 resources have implemented enterprise resource
planning systems. On the other hand, some of the
business organizations believe that the
implementation of an ERP system is expensive. In
this scenario, these expenses can include the price of
implementing an ERP, associated incremental
hardware, software, training and implementation
support, which can be more than $200,000 for small-
size organizations (just about $10M to $20M annual
sales), more than a few million dollars or even more
for large-size organizations and approximately
$600,000 to $800,000 for a midsize organizations
(just about $40M to $80M annual sales)Hence, the
investment of these huge resources, business

organizations anticipate major benefits such as
increased competitiveness and operational efficiency
[9].
Analysis of Critical Success Factors (CSFs)
The research shows that business
organizations implement enterprise resource planning
systems for achieving a wide variety of goals such as
cost reductions, legacy systems replacement and
faster information transactions. In spite of all these
challenges and risks associated with the adoption of
ERPs, the implementation and adoption of ERP
systems carry on growing internationally. However,
most of the researches and existing literature in the
information systems and the trade press domain
spotlight the adoption and successful implementation
of enterprise resource planning systems, but simply a
small number of researchers talk about the critical
success factors and aspects of such systems in the
implementing organizations. In their research article,
(Ifinedo & Nahar, 2006) refer “ERP success” to
making use of ERP systems that can play a
significant role in increasing organizational
efficiency. In this scenario, (Ifinedo & Nahar, 2006)
stress that the “success” they mention differentiates
in extent of various other aspects such as technical
installations required for ERP adoption and
implementation success. (Ifinedo & Nahar, 2006)
also present the analysis of other theories. According
to their point of view, the quality and role of vendors
and consultants all the way through the lifecycle of
any ERP implementation is very important no matter
what method has been adopted to measure ERP
success. Various researches have pointed out the role
of vendors and consultants in the success of an ERP
implementation. In fact, trust on vendors and
consultant as a major issue in ERP implementations
that is why these systems are believed to be different
from other IT projects. In this scenario, ERP
implementation success model presented by (Ifinedo
& Nahar, 2006) takes into consideration six main
dimensions (as shown in Figure 1). In fact, this model
takes into consideration various measures such as
perceptual, attitudinal and other applicable measures
linked to the information system [10].

The research has shown that more than 70%
of ERP implementations remain unsuccessful in
achieving their predictable benefits. However, the
major reasons that are cited behind these failures
include ineffective business strategies, cost overruns,
underestimation of the endeavor required for
effective change management, and project delays. In
addition to that ERP implementation are believed to
be of increasing complication as organizations join
other companies as well as their sustaining systems
cross beyond organizational boundaries. Hence, there
is an increasing need for a well-organized and well-
managed integration both among the associated
organizations and among different systems.
Additionally, system and organization system
integration that involves an ERP system goes in
parallel with business change. Hence, it creates an
increasing need for watchful business change
planning and control. In some cases, organizations
need to revise or extend their existing business
change approaches with the intention that they could
successfully help business change analysts in e-
business integration and cross-organizational ERP
scenario [11, 12].
7. ERP SUPPORT FOR CROSS-
ORGANIZATIONAL INTEGRATION
An enterprise resource planning system is a
huge set of software applications that work together
to provide effective support for most of an
organization’s information needs inside as well as
closely linked departments in an organization.
Contemporary ERP systems with back-end support of

transaction processing systems serve as the basis for
a wide variety of internet based integration and e-
business model inside an organization and all the way
through its value chain. In this scenario, such cross-
organizational ERP implementations provide the
business organizations with an excellent support for
collaboration and coordination among several
organizations in a value network by computerizing
tasks and data control flows and work flows shared
by the business stakeholders and associates [11].
8. ERP IMPLEMENTATION MODELS
In their paper, (Eckartz et al., 2009)
differentiate between ERPI and ERPII. According to
their viewpoint, traditional systems known as ERPI
takes into consideration the incorporation of back-
office information systems, while ERP II particularly
focuses on improving the relationships between the
organizations and their customers (front-end). Some
of the well-known examples of these systems can
include vendor such as supply chain management
(SCM) and customer relationship management
(CRM). In addition, the differences between ERP I
and ERPII have been discussed by a number of
researches with respect to the architecture of the
system and application domain. In this scenario, ERP
I systems are normally implemented by
manufacturing firms in the distribution and
manufacturing areas as well as having a web-aware
however comparatively closed architecture, on the
other hand ERP II systems support all the areas and
departments of an organization and are based on a
web-based open architecture. Additionally, these
differences need to be considered when we have to
determine their success criteria, conceptualizing
benefits and expenditures in the business change
management. In this scenario, the success criteria that
is adopted to determine the success of ERPI systems,
cannot be completely suitable measurement for ERP
II success, as these systems are comparatively huge
and complex [11].
9. CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS IN ERP
IMPLEMENTATION
In view of the fact that ERP systems are
more complex than traditional information systems,
hence the adoption and implementation of these
systems are also more complex than traditional
information system implementations and for this
reason these implementations are more likely to be
unsuccessful. However, if organizations effectively
deal with these challenges and issues, ERP
implementations can provide a large number of
benefits. In this scenario, an organization must lead
this implementation with an effective implementation
plan that is able to imitate the complicated
environment of ERP system implementations [11].
According to (Maditinos et al., 2012), in
spite of all the characteristics and key benefits
attained through the implementation of ERP systems,
the adoptions and implementations of these systems
are not for all time successful. In their paper
(Maditinos et al., 2012) cite the reasons of this
failure. According to their point of view the majority
of business organizations are not capable of
completely justifying their funds in ERP system, in
view of the fact that the most of ERP benefits remain
unseen. According to their research, more than 25
percent of ERP implementations go beyond the early
cost plan and more than 20 percent cannot be
completed. In addition, in some cases ERP systems
frequently fail to get together business objectives
afterward their adoption. Moreover, the major cause
of the wide-ranging dissatisfaction on the subject of
ERP system efficiency remains in numerous reasons,
comprising a misapprehension regarding the system's
potential [13].
In addition, the success of the
implementation of an enterprise resource planning
system depends on various factors in which some
factors are believed to be critical. However, the
definition of “success” varies from system to system
and heavily depends on the needs and requirements
of an organization. In the beginning the successful
implementation is believed to be the completion of a
project in time, to satisfactory standards, within
financial plan and in time. However, the last stages of
ERP implementation are mainly concerned with the
apparent participation of the system to business
performance. All the way through, the ERP
implementation success is determined from the
standpoint of top management. In this scenario,
critical success factors have been identified as “those
which are critical parts where things must move
correctly for the organization to be successful”. In
fact, in the previous researches these rules have been
used for a number of aspects of information systems
consisting of reengineering, manufacturing systems
implementation, project management, and, more
recently, these rules are being applied to determine
the implementations of ERP systems. In addition,
critical success factors are mainly practical to
practitioners for the reason that they offer obvious
direction on where an organization should pay
attention to the resources needed in the project.
Additionally, prior researches on conducted
to determine the CSFs in the implementations of
enterprise resource planning systems took into

11
consideration prioritized sets of factors. In this
scenario various researchers formed these groups on
the basis of tactical and strategic factors, by this
means offering further support to team leads and
managers who are assigned the role of planning ERP
implementation projects. In their paper (Shanks et al.,
2000) outlines a list of eleven critical success factors
involved in the implementation of an ERP system.
Additionally, this list contains eleven most important
critical success factors for ERP systems
implementation. These factors are determined on the
basis of literature and viewpoints of different authors.
These factors include [14, 13]:
(a) Top management support
First most important critical factor that most
of the literature discusses is the support from the top
management, which encompasses several attributes
such as the enthusiasm, support of senior
management and positive commitment all the way
through ERP implementation. However, according to
several researches, the role of top management
support in implementation of an enterprise resource
planning system does not seem to be much greater
than the one played by users, for the reason that
higher management has to play their role simply in
the situation of conflicts (and this factor is not
directly linked with ERP system successful
implementation), on the other hand user support has a
significant impact on both communication success as
well as, more significantly, knowledge transfer and
sharing (without a doubt this factor is directly linked
with ERP system’s successful implementation).
Hence, an organization should ensure user support
with the purpose of implementing a successful ERP
system. However, there are certain steps that can be
taken in order to ensure user participation [14, 13]:
Users should be allowed to present their
ideas on the need for the implementation
Organizational workers should be involved
in the specifications of the system
They should actively take part in the
implementation process
A wide variety of reward systems should be
introduced in order to support to successful use of the
newly accomplished enterprise resource planning
system
Without a doubt, fully contribution of users
throughout the system implementation is essential. In
other words, in the absence of the active involvement
and the fully recognition and approval of its users,
every enterprise resource planning system, regardless
of its style and cost, is intended to create ineffective
outcomes that the ones predicted, or even stop
working despondently [14, 13].
(b) External expertise
Without a doubt, the implementation of an
ERP is believed to be a large size project. Hence,
throughout the implementation of this huge project
the use of the experience and expertise of outside
experts plays a significant role. The research has
shown that the effective support of outside
consultants is vital for the successful implementation
of enterprise resource planning systems. It is an
admitted fact that the support presented by external
experts is vital, in fact it is more important than the
support that is offered by higher management. In
addition, the role played by the external consultant in
the implementation process has also been proved by a
large number of researches. In view of the fact that
external expertise is an aspect that has significant
influence on implementation of an effective ERP
system, hence business organizations need to pay
more and more attention on searching and selecting
the true and expert consultant groups for the
particular business setting. In this scenario,
organizations should not think that the efforts they
are paying towards consultant selection is not a time
wasting process, in view of the fact that the
knowledge of the external firm in a related business
environment, the dedication towards attaining joint
objectives and the common attitude of the two
vendors are of critical importance for effective
implementation. In addition, organizations should not
hire external consultants for only acquiring their
technical expertise; however they should also keep in
mind a wide understanding of the individual business
procedures and an authentic dedication towards
dealing with daily problems regarding ERP system
implementation. In this scenario, it is recommended
for adopting organizations to establish an agreement
between the improvements to be made in particular
sectors of business activity and fees paid to the
consultant team. On the whole, this external group
should be considered as a precious “supporter”
throughout the implementation of ERP system. On
the other hand, these consultants need the effective
support as well as the approval of the business
employees with the purpose of completely integrating
their precious knowledge and establish a considerable
distinction in the effective ERP implementation. In
this scenario, if system users do not adopt a positive
approach towards cooperating and collaborating with
an external team, it will certainly produce ineffective
results [14, 13].

(c) Balanced project Team
In order to make the implementation of an
ERP system a success, an organization should form a
mixture of business and IT workers with a wide
understanding of business processes. The research
has shown that ERP adopting organization should
develop the required environment with the intention
of supporting the procedure of knowledge transfer
among various entities. In this scenario, IT personnel
should cooperate with non-technical personnel and
they need to learn more about their new
organizational tasks and procedures apart from the
training about the newly implemented ERP
technology. In addition, these employees should
enthusiastically attempt to obtain utmost results from
the implementation of the ERP system, in view of the
fact that inactive approach will not lead to successful
ERP implementation [14, 13, 15].
(d) Data Accuracy
In order to make the implementation of an
ERP system a success, an organization must make
sure that they collect high quality data from existing
legacy systems. The organization must implement
strategies to make this data consistent and clean so
that it could be used beneficially for the effective
implementation of an enterprise resource planning
system [14, 13].
(e) Clear Goals
Before the initiation of this implementation
project an organization must define its goals clearly
and these goals must be well-understood before
further proceeding [14, 13].
(f) Project Management
Without a doubt, there is dire need for
effective project management capabilities for the
successful accomplishment of this implementation
process. In order to make this project a success an
organization must develop and maintain a thorough
project plan covering the project goals should be
established and maintained [14, 13].
(g) Change Management
Without a doubt, change is inevitable at
every stage of system implementation. In order to
deal with these emerging changes an organization
must pay careful attention to change management,
seeing that the ERP implementation will engage a
wide variety of changes to business processes [14,
13].
(h) Education and Training
In view of the fact the implementation of an
ERP system requires a lot of people to work on
different processes, in the same way the adoption of
this system heavily relies on users. In this scenario,
for the successful implementation of ERP project an
organization must ensure effective training and
education of both technical expertise regarding the
ERP system and its associated models and knowledge
about its working and use for both business and IT
employees [14, 13].
(i) Presence of a Champion
There should be a person who works as a
leader, an individual, who is not always a senior
manager, but responsible for explaining the benefits
of the ERP system throughout the implementation
process [14, 13].
(j) Minimizing Customization
This factor involves minimizing the amount
of customization and scope of the ERP system
implementation and alternative choice [14, 13].
(k) Hiring Best people full-time
The project team should be formed within
the firm should be completely released from other
tasks and responsibilities during the ERP
implementation project. This team should be assigned
a full-time responsibility of the implementation [14,
13].
10. CONCLUSION
In the past few years, the implementations of
ERP systems to manage business tasks has become
an attractive trend. There are many well-known
vendors that provide excellent ERPs solutions to deal
with business processes effectively. This research
paper has presented a detailed analysis of enterprise
resource planning system and various associated
aspects. This research paper has discussed the ways
enterprise resource planning systems support
business organizations. At the present, business
organizations use ERPs for the management and
integration of different business processes. Without a
doubt, the successful implementation of an ERP
ensures maximum business efficiency and
competitive edge. The research paper has shown that
EPR is a huge information system and its
implementation requires huge investment and time as
well as involves various critical issues. In order to
make this implementation fruitful organizations must
take into consideration these critical factors. Different
researches have outlined different factors depending

on the nature and size of the organization. This
research paper has combined critical factors from
various researches. This research paper has collected
eleven critical factors from different researches. This
research paper has also discussed the solutions to
issues that can arise during implementation of ERPs.
In this scenario, user involvement plays a significant
role throughout the implementation of ERPs. They
should be educated and trained regarding the use of
ERP in order to make effective use of the system.
