Failure Case Studies and Challenges in ERP Integration

Abstract

The 21st century recognizes the importance of information as a vital resource, so it is studied, researched, and improved to accomplish the performance objectives set by an organization. To sustain cohesive business reliability and growth, information sharing and communication are essential. enterprise resource planning (ERP) software integration is seen by many organizations as a way to manage their integrated information flow more effectively under increased competitive pressure. The implementation of such a project for a company is very beneficial because it revolves around performance and formality, both of which are highly important and complex for organizations. However, due to the ERP project implementation budget, time, and resources, this type of project is tricky. In this context, and based on the principle that people learn more from failures than from successes, the authors are interested in this article about the difficulties, the stakes, and the causes of ERPs integration failures reported in the literature to make recommendations and learn from these case studies.
