Enterprise resource planning (ERP) integrates and automates core business processes. An ERP system unifies operational and financial processes across an organization. Successful ERP implementation requires top management commitment, excellent project management, and organizational change management. ERP provides benefits like process automation, integrated data, flexible configuration, and improved decision-making. However, ERP implementation is costly and complex, requiring customization and significant resources to transition from legacy systems. Overall, ERP is an important tool that can increase revenue and customer orientation when implemented effectively.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS (CSFS) OF ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEM ...cscpconf
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
useful findings that help HEIs to manage the challenges for ERP systems and define CSFs that will help
practitioners to implement them in the Saudi context.

Background According to Sharda (2015), Enterprise Resource Pl.docxwilcockiris
Background
: According to Sharda (2015), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) was designed to help large companies manage the fragmentation of information stored in hundreds of individual desktop, department, and business unit computers across the organization. These modules offered the IS department in many large organizations an option for switching from underperforming, obsolete mainframe systems to client-server environments designed to handle the changing business demands of their operational counterparts. Many firms moved from their troubled systems in the late 1990s to avoid the year 2000 (Y2K) problem and to standardize processes across their businesses.

2. ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP)
“A business strategy and set of industry-domain specific applications that build customer and shareholder
communities value network system by enabling and optimizing enterprise and inter enterprise collaborative
operational and financial processes. (Gartner Research Note SPA-12-0420) ”
3. BEST PRACTICES
According to Umble, E, Haft & Umble, M (2003), some of the best practices for implementing ERP are
Clear understanding of strategic goals
Commitment by top management
Excellent project management
Organizational change management
A great implementation team Data accuracy
Extensive education and training
Focused performance measures
Multi-site issues
6. ADVANTAGES
Provision to automate several process (Umble et al, 2003)
Dedicated modules for integrating and managing data from various departments such as finance, sales, service, and so
on (Meet Our Departments, 2014)
Flexible according to business requirements (Shang & Seddon, 2002)
Ready made solutions for most of the issues (Hossain, Patrick, Rashid & Rashid, 2002)
Return over investment earlier than in-house software (O'Leary, 2000)
Unified reporting system (O'Leary, 2000)
Improved decision making (O'Leary, 2000)
Easier for order tracking, inventory tracking, revenue tracking, sales forecasting and related activities (O'Leary,
2000).
7. CHALLENGES
High implementation cost (O'Leary, 2000).
Delay on return on investment but yields steady performance over time when compared to non-adopters (Hunton,
Lippincott & Reck, 2003)
Requires much customization to fit business needs (Hossain et al, 2002)
Migration from legacy system to ERP system is difficult (Kremers & Van Dissel, 2000)
8. CONCLUSION
ERP is the tool for an integrated information system to stay competitive and
customer‐oriented for all organizations.
Integrates and automate business functions at organizational level
Excellent information system that satisfies both business and customer needs
Increases business revenue
