A business's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution is software that fully integrates the services that businesses require, continuously updates business processes and department operations in real-time, and so aids in the successful management of enterprise resources. Previously, ERP solutions were often deployed for large enterprises, but along with the strong digital transformation process, many small and medium enterprises have been deploying Cloud ERP (CERP) solutions. The objective of the study is to measure the factors affecting the successful implementation of CERP solutions at small and medium enterprises and the impact of successful implementation of CERP solutions on business process re-engineering and enterprise performance. Using a quantitative method based on data collected from 230 small and medium enterprises in Vietnam that have been implementing CERP solutions, the results show that there are 5 factors affecting, which are Organizational ERP Strategic, Top management Commitment, Data Security, Training in ERP Projects, Organizational Culture. Research results also show that Successful implementation of CERP has a direct impact on business process re-engineering and business performance. Based on the results, the study has made a number of policy implications in the successful implementation of CERP towards re-engineering business processes to improve the performance of small and medium enterprises.

This paper addresses a performance evaluation model for ERP system's implementation using Analytic Network Process (ANP) technique. In this study, the performance variables are identified as the perspectives of cost, business process, systems operation, and change management, respectively. The empirical study also investigated factors that affect the performance variables to find out the causal relationship between them using the ANP approach. The data for the empirical analysis were collected from manufacturing companies that have implemented ERP systems. The research findings indicate the proposed model is powerful in proposing that the indirect relationship between influencing factors and managerial effectiveness, mediated by employee satisfaction, is an important one.

The purpose of this research is to identify a mediating effect of change management activity(CMA) on the relationships between the role of participants of ERP implementation and system performance. In this paper the role of participants are composed of top's management, user's participation, project manager's skill. Also this research organized ERP system performance into the three dimensions(adaptation to the end-user's ERP system, system usage, individual's performance). The major results of this research can be summarized as follow; project manager's role, top management's involvement, and users' participation in ERP project directly affect CMA of system implementation process and have influence system performance through CMA too. CMA also has a positive effect on a series of system performance, that is, adaptation to the end-user's ERP system, system usage, and individual's performance. In conclusion, the role of participants have an considerable influence upon system performance through CMA. This research makes certain that a mediating effect of CMA between the role of participants and system performance exists. Therefore, the companies implementing ERP must consider CMA.

Enterprise resource planning(ERP) in nature entails large scale business process redesigns and the corresponding risks. To reduce such risks, enterprise modeling(EM) approach could be adopted through which ERP is planned and effectively implemented on a consistent basis throughout the entire organization. The scope of this paper is to report on EM experiences and lessons learned in the process of ERP implementation. Through a case study, this paper presents and EM methodology which takes due account of strategic business processes, information flows, organizational requirements, and their interdependencies. To assess the impact of distributed application scenarios on effective ERP implementation, alternative EMs have been created and evaluated whether they support information requirements for strategic decisions and day-to-day operational activities, core business processes, and business functions as required. Practical issues and problems raised in the EM process have been discussed.

This study analyzes the factors affecting user resistance to ERP in Vietnam, including the factors related to the cultural values of the users, which is rarely dealt in the previous ERP research. A research model is developed based on Klaus and Blanton [2010] and Hofstede [2011], consisting of the independent variables ('cultural value', 'system', 'organization', and 'process' related variables), a dependent variable ('user resistance to ERP') and a moderating variable ('self efficacy'). Major results of study include (1) users with high degree of uncertainty avoidance and femininity regard ERP as potential threat to their job and are likely to resist to ERP; (2) By training the users with high level of femininity to enhance their self efficacy, the degree of resistance to ERP can be reduced; (3) For ERP to be utilized successfully, systems should be developed in such a way in which working with ERP is not regarded as complex and difficult; and (4) communication and training play an important role in reducing the resistance of users.

Nowadays, many commercial ERP products, such as Oracle, SAP, and Baan, etc, are designed based on large-scaled companies. It is difficult for small and medium-size companies with weakness in budgets and resources(e.g., human, organization, technique, and so on) to use them as it was. So, new ERP system need to be provided for small and medium-size companies. In this paper, we model and provide a conceptual ERP model for small and medium-size companies by using "4＋1 View" architecture model of Unified Modeling Language(UML). The conceptual ERP model consists of five subsystems： Manufacturing, Sales, HumanResource and Payroll, Accounting, and Trading. Especially, we describe the conceptual ERP model focusing on "Manufacturing" subsystem by using several diagrams of UML. By using the conceptual ERP model, the ERP system′s developers of small and medium-size companies can obtain many benefits： improving the efficiency of software developing process and helping user requirements gathering and description of ERP system′s nonfunctional aspect as well as functional aspect.

본 논문의 목적은 중소기업 정보화 물결로 도입된 ERP 사용 중 당면하게 되는 유지보수 요청에 대한 효율적 지원체계를 ERP공급 기업 입장에서 마련하여 ERP 사용효과를 극대화 하고자 하는 것이다. 이러한 목적 달성을 위하여 본 연구에서는 국내 ERP 공급기업 사례를 중심으로 지원체계의 합리적 기준안을 사례로 참조하였다. 그리고 기업의 전통적이고도 관행적인 그동안의 비즈니스 프로세스와 ERP에서 제시하는 비즈니스 프로세스와의 업무적 차이를 유지보수 지원이라는 과정을 통하여 중소기업의 업무혁신이 자연스럽게 흡수되도록 하였다. 효율적 지원체계 연구 과정 중 누락되거나 미흡한 부분이 일부 있었으나 ERP 공급기업과 ERP 도입 기업이 당면한 우선적인 과제라 생각되어 현재의 사후지원 방안보다 신속한 유지보수관리가 적용되는 방안을 연구하였다. 이 개선 방안은 다음의 두 가지로 요약된다. 첫째, 유지보수 지원절차를 개선하여 ERP 도입기업의 지원요청이 ERP공급 기업의 지식 DB로 구축되도록 하는 것이다. 둘째, 지원요청 발생 가능한 사항을 ERP 도입 기업에게 사전 제공함으로써 자체 장애해결 능력을 부여하여 ERP 사용효율을 향상시키도록 하는 것이다. 본 논문은 ERP의 효율적 유지보수 지원체계를 정리한 것으로서 연구과정 중 나타난 문제점 들을 점차 개선하고 사후관리관련 구성원들이 보다 전문성을 갖추어서 문제처리에 대한 일관성과 신속성을 갖추게 된다면 ERP 도입기업의 ERP 사용효율을 높여주어 정보화를 통한 기업경쟁력이 더욱 강화될 수 있을 것이다.
