Towards a Benefits Realization Roadmap for ERP Usage in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
نویسنده
چکیده
ERP vendors and implementers usually emphasize a positive impact of their ERP products and projects in company performance. However, the existent ERP literature and research did not attempt to establish the link between benefits of and reasons for ERP implementation, nor the attempt to determine at what point in time the various benefits are expected to materialize. Based in a pilot survey administered to a group of MBA students, we tentatively define a benefits realization roadmap for ERP usage in the context of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). The ERP benefits roadmap suggests that a long-term vision is required in order to obtain a successful realization of the potential benefits that ERP could bring.
