We use Madar, which is an ERP system developed in King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as a case study to measure the success in ERP implementation from technical and user perspectives. This paper proves that the most important critical success factors of ERP implementation in Higher Education sector in Saudi Arabia was project management. This study has contributed to academic research by producing the empirical evidence to support the theories of CSFs and ERP implementation success.
