Abstract

Recent changes in business environment as a result of deregulation, privatization, globalization and consequently by the increased competition, organizations are struggling to survive and getting successfully run their organization towards sustainability. The rising intensity of competition and the pressures for operational excellence, customer intimacy, and innovation are motivating firms to restructure their business processes and information flows. A new breed of information systems, termed as enterprise systems, is being implemented to reengineer outdated business processes and integrate information flows across the enterprise. The ERP system is one of the salient solutions being used to accomplish the organizational need for integration and business processes solutions. Although ERP implementation is a risky task and expensive proposition, it can provide a variety of benefits to the organization, especially in engaging white-business initiatives. Therefore, the successful implementation of ERP projects is an important priority. There are several challenges to the successful implementation of an ERP. This paper will integrate existing ideas about the critical successful factors for guiding an ERP implementation. The resulting framework should provide direction for future research and practice. .
