Abstract
Though ERP systems are being widely implemented in many organisations there is a lack of unified implementation methodologies that reflect the essential critical factors of success. Research developing such methodologies has been scarce. This paper fills this gap by proposing an integrative methodology based on an extensive review of the essential critical factors of success. Following the generic proposed methodology and framework, it is argued that success can be yielded in implementing ERP systems.
