Implementation Of ERP System Research Articles

Sustainable Development of Companies Using the ERP System as a Fundamental Tool of Digital Transformation

Purpose of the article: The purpose is to verify that ERP system implementations are in accordance with the company growth. There is no doubt that the ERP system as a representative of digitalisation tools aims at optimisation of resources and processes, while also contributing to sustainability.Methodology/Methods: The article is based on processing and sorting of secondary data published by the Czech Statistical Office. All relevant data were issued in different formats and structures so they needed to be parsed, cleaned and unified. It would not be possible to achieve expected results without such data transformation requiring knowledge in the field. To ensure higher validity of the study, the dependence between two researched aspects was observed in the lowest possible detail of the data and then summarised into present the final result.Scientific aim: The aim is to identify the relationship between the ERP system implementations and company growth. The study assumes that companies are motivated to digital transformation if it helps them to increase their production or do not temporarily slow it down because of the lifecycle and consequences of the implementation covering investment, deployment and usage of the ERP.Findings: Although the number of Czech companies using an ERP system is not constantly growing, the enterprise production is increasing during the reference period. This phenomenon is noticeable in almost every NACE industry in years 2015, 2017 and 2019. Even though the number of firms using the ERP is not clearly growing, as there is a fall in 2017, the general trend between 2015 and 2019 is increasing.Conclusions: As there is no negative effect of implementation of the ERP system on company growth, enterprises are willing to invest into their digital transformation and thus to support sustainable development as a whole.

Using waterfall, iterative and spiral models in ERP-system implementation projects under uncertainty

The article considers the use of cascade and multi-pass implementation models of corporate information systems in case of business and technological uncertainty. A review of waterfall, iterative and spiral ERP-systems implementation models is given. The business and technological uncertainties inherent in software systems implementation projects are introduced. The basic principles of development complex applications in ERP-systems are analyzed, including the rules of evolution and functionality. One compares business uncertainty for refined requirements in the waterfall and Agile-based implementation models, which operate with a change request and allocation requirements to a new round of development respectively. There is no or minimal technological uncertainty in ERP-systems implementation projects, however high business uncertainty exists, which can not be decreased by any basic implementation approaches. The application area of the waterfall and multi-pass implementation models is clarified for ERP projects from scratch, rollout and evolution under business uncertainty.

The influence of the implementation of ERP systems on the performance of an organization

Abstract In this paper, I examined how the adoption and implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning systems influences an organization’s performance. Performance is a key component that underlies the organization’s activity. Enterprise Resource Planning systems are used to manage the activities of an organization (accounting, procurement, compliance, production, project management and other distribution chain operations). The impact of implementing Enterprise Resource Planning systems may differ from organization to organization. The main purpose of the paper is to present the most important performance indicators that are influenced by the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning systems, but also what is their impact on the entire activity of an organization. The research method used is a quantitative research based on the questionnaire where we identified how Enterprise Resource Planning systems influence the performance of the organization. The data collected were useful to answer the main research questions formulated in the paper. The results obtained based on the questionnaire showed that organizations that implemented Enterprise Resource Planning systems obtained more favorable values of performance indicators than organizations that did not implement them. These Enterprise Resource Planning systems also have a role in the sustainable development of the organization, but in principle Enterprise Resource Planning systems are useful to improve the performance of the organization.

Digitalization in the Accounting and Auditing Profession through ERP Systems

The objective of this paper is to observe the possibility of digitizing the accounting and auditing profession by implementing ERP systems, as a result of massive changes in technology over time. The purpose of this paper is to add value to the literature, given the positive or negative aspects of the digitization of the accounting and auditing profession using information systems such as ERP. ERP systems such as information systems have a key role in managing and conducting accounting and auditing, providing support to professional accountants and auditors. The research method used to identify the possibility of digitizing the accounting and auditing profession through ERP information systems is based on the analysis of the archive (literature review), collecting data and information from selected articles from different databases. Following the study, the authors concluded that the accounting and auditing profession can be digitized through the use of ERP information systems, as it allows the automation of a large number of tasks, and the information processed with these systems is much more transparent and accurate.

The Relationship between the Implementation of ERP Systems and the Financial and Non-Financial Reporting of Organizations

Numerous studies have shown that ERP systems can improve organizational performance and efficiency. Thus, the main concepts addressed in the paper are ERP systems, their performance and the manner in which they improve financial and non-financial reporting. The purpose of this paper is to observe the relationship between ERP systems and financial reporting. The role of these systems is to ensure transparency over the financial and non-financial reporting process of an organization. The research method is represented by an archival analysis (organization’s annual reports) to highlight the relationship between ERP systems and financial and non-financial reporting, given the impact of ERP systems on the information used to prepare financial and non-financial reports and how the organization changes after implementing these systems. The results highlight the significant role of ERP systems within an organization, in terms of performance and improvements in financial and non-financial reporting.

The Impact of Human Critical Success Factor on ERP System Implementation

<p><em>Many researchers have investigated the critical success factors in ERP system implementation. The previous study has examined four primary human critical success factors (competence, behavior, team composition, and communication) and based on study literature performed by the author, there were many studies found that top management support also has crucial role in ERP implementation. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of top management support, competence, behavior, team composition, and communication in ERP implementation.</em><em>This study was conducted in three stages. First, review sources and scientific literature relevant to this research. Second, analyze the findings and recommendations of previous research to determine the component of variable x. Third, conduct research using a quantitative approach through a questionnaire survey. </em><em>Questionnaires were distributed to employees from various company that involved directly in ERP implementation. </em><em>This study found that all five variables positively correlated to project success and only team composition variable that significantly positively correlated to project success. This study offers ERP project managers the crucial factors needed to be concerned for the project success.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>ERP, Human Critical Success Factors.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p>

Satisfaction With ERP System Implementation

While many studies explain factors influencing the success of ERP implementation, little is known about the system outcome to satisfy user expectations based on the concepts of task-technology fit and person-task fit. The study examines the effects of fits between user interfaces, task interdependence, and user knowledge on system utilization and performance impacts leading to user satisfaction with ERP system implementation. Based on the structural equation modeling analysis and two-way interaction test results, a user interface dampens the positive effect of task interdependence on task-technology fit while it strengthens the positive effect of user knowledge on task-technology fit. Task interdependence dampens the positive effect of user knowledge on system utilization. The results provide guidance on how to enhance the system impacts on user performance and encourage the system usage resulting in user satisfaction with the ERP system implementation. The paper provides detailed discussions of the results, the implications for theory and practices, and the study limitations.

Identification and Indicators of ERP Implementation Success Factor – a Literature Review

Enterprise Resources Planning has become one of the business and management applications that are believed to be able to improve the performance of companies and or organizations to be more efficient and effective. However, based on much research, the success rate of ERP implementation is questionable. Although the success of ERP implementation is often published in research, the failure rate of ERP system implementation is relatively high. Therefore, this study is to find out the problems and challenges faced by organizations in implementing ERP, by reviewing the existing literature on research on factors that influence the success of ERP implementation. The approach taken is to review several related research articles published in the 2015-2020 period from several publishers, namely Emerald Online, Science Direct, IEEE, and SAGE. The sample size for the last 5 years is expected to show the up-datedness of the data taken from the research article. New ideas that will emerge from this discussion are the main factors causing the success of ERP implementation for organization, so that they can be used to reduce the failure rate of ERP implementation in the future by proposing an ERP implementation model.

Factors of Success in Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems

Implementing complex and yet sound and effective accounting information systems known as enterprise resource planning systems, is an enormous project for the firms that want to streamline their information flow and increase their value. As the effects of these systems on the performance of the entities are both financial and non-financial, their success is of crucial importance. This study is an exploratory factorial analysis to identify the factors of successful implementation of ERP systems in the medium and big companies in Albania. We use in depth surveys and interviews with firms that have implemented enterprise resource planning systems and include twenty initial variables in the survey. Later these variables are combined in three factors that have the biggest impact on the success rate of ERP implementation: the overall quality and end-user satisfaction with the ERP system; the cost-benefit ratio of the ERP and the support from the ERP provider and ERP implementing consultant. This study contributes not only theoretically to the empirical literature, but also practically because it helps businesses of the region that are considering implementing ERPs in the future to pay attention to the most critical factors of success with ERPs.

Exploring the Challenges of Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning in Small and Medium Enterprises

Small and Medium scale Enterprises (SME) are key players in Sri Lankan economy due to the fact that it contributes 52% to the Gross Domestic Product (National policy Framework for SME Development, 2015) and considered as the back born of the economy. ERP offers the best solution for SMEs without the overheads of the huge investment and management costs that are associated with traditional ERP systems, yet the SME sector faces many challenges in their adoption. Traditional ERP studies have predominantly focused on large organizations, and gaps within in the literature indicate that both vendor and consumer perspectives require more understanding with new technology offerings for SMEs and short of challenges are faced by SMEs in the implementation. However, SMEs enthusiasm to adopt ERP system is low. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by the SME in implementing ERP system. In order to achieve the research objective an exploratory research approach was used. Interviews were executed by means of face-to-face approach. Interview techniques are used to extract understanding, opinions and challenges faced by SMEs on their way to adopt ERP system. Based on the responses, the researcher found six (6) themes that are challenges in adopting ERP in SMEs. However, this study endeavors to explore the challenges of implementing ERP project in selected SMEs and contributes the lack of literature on ERP implementation and provides insight for future study by the researcher and respondents.

Analysis of ERP Implementation in Perum BULOG with Extended TAM 3 Approach

Several previous studies explained that the implementation of an integrated information system needed to be realized at Perum BULOG because the old system has not been integrated. This was also realized by the management of Perum BULOG by carrying out one of its long-term plans, namely carrying out the implementation of ERP system in 2020. On the other hand, ERP is a complex system because ERP systems often adds more difficulties to the implementation process. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the analysis of ERP implementation at Perum BULOG to see how ERP users will accept this technology using the extended TAM 3 approach. Outer Model and Inner Model are used to test and analyze data from research instruments using the SMART PLS 3.0. Based on the research findings, it can be seen from 12 research hypotheses, 9 research hypotheses were accepted and 3 were rejected. It is known that perceived usefulness is found only factor in system- technology ERP and perceived ease of use which have a positive and significant correlation. Meanwhile, the perceived ease of use factor was found only the organization process characteristic and system-technology ERP factor that had a positive and significant correlation. Furthermore, the attitude factor of ERP user is influenced by the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Where the ERP user attitude factor is able to encourage behavioral intention and have implication for use and user satisfaction.

This research identifies the top 10 CSFs that contribute to delivering a successful cloud-based ERP systems implementation. A survey instrument was distributed to 70 enterprises using cloud-based ERP systems. The research outcomes indicate a positive and significant relationship between eight CSFs and the cloud-based ERP systems implementation. However, only two factors demonstrate a positive but not significant correlation. Overall, the results of this study show a notable impact of the CSFs on the cloud ERP systems implementation.

Development of an ERP System Design Course to Improve Students' Learning Outcomes

This paper describes the design and evaluation of an ERP system design course, which utilizes experiential learning theory along with open ERP sys-tem to provide the students with a holistic and cost-free learning environ-ment. The objective of the course is to familiarize students with the ERP se-lection and implementation life-cycle. When designing the pedagogical framework, the goal was to help students, especially those with little to no working experience to acquire the necessary knowledge, and develop the practical technical experience. Additionally, it was necessary to help students appreciate the depth and issues involved in the ERP system selection and implementation life-cycle. Lectures, case discussions, system demos with interactive labs, and group projects were used all together to enable in depth learning of the proposed topics. We focus on open source ERP system to provide the students with the required hands-on experience, and also to demonstrate that such approach can be utilized even by low resource universities. This paper includes details of the proposed framework. The proposed framework was taught and evaluated in a 1-semester graduate level course at the university of Jeddah, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The course design was in-directly assessed using a survey, and the results revealed the positive impact that the proposed framework had on students’ learning outcomes. The results of the assessment support that experiential based learning using open source ERP systems can lead to improved learning outcome.

Expected and Achieved Benefits of ERP Systems Implementation over Time

Today information systems are an inseparable part of all companies. This study deals with the non-financial implications occurring while implementing the enterprise resource planning software called AROP in 3 manufacturing companies being in different implementation phases. The work was based on semi-structured interviews, which were supplemented by a questionnaire survey with the management and the employees of the companies. The primary goal was to determine both the expected and the real impacts associated with the introduction of AROP software in the companies. The secondary goal was to determine satisfaction with AROP training in individual companies and to propose countermeasures. It was found that the company using AROP software in the full version confirmed a number of impacts that the companies had expected in the testing phase and in the phase just before the start of the testing phase. Examples of the confirmed impacts are following: merging all information into one system, obtaining previously unknown information or simplifying the work of employees. During the training, some weaknesses were identified, such as the length of the training or the form of the training. Therefore, several recommendations were proposed in order to streamline the implementation of AROP software and improve the training of this system.
