Abstract
MALIE, M.; DUFFY, N. and VAN RENSBURG, A.C. J. Enterprise resource planning solution selection criteria in medium-sized South African companies. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.1, pp.17-30. ISSN 2224-7890.
The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that medium-sized South African companies consider important in the acquisition of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. Through an extensive literature review, fourteen ERP selection criteria were identified. Using these fourteen criteria, a questionnaire was developed to test and rate these criteria on a 10-point scale. Results from the survey show that manufacturing and non-manufacturing companies rate reliability, compatibility, service, and support as the most important criteria when selecting an ERP solution.
