| Abstract: | Investing in new ERP software packages means a big commitment in terms of both time and money. The paper looks at the process of planning in the acquisition of ERP systems. Six activities are identified and examined: project team formation, requirements definition, establishments of evaluation and selection criteria, marketplace analysis, choice of acquisition strategy, and anticipated acquisition issues. When the acquisition is planned systematically and thoroughly organisations can increase the likelihood that they will identify ERP software and vendors that genuinely meet their needs. |
