In today’s knowledge-driven economy, businesses of small and mid-sized must adopt effective IT systems that can deliver the consolidated information required for decision-making, competitive advantage and growth. Just like huge corporations, all sizes businesses need integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to support their goals and integrate their processes. The growth of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems since the 90’s has been immense. ERP systems are in most cases implemented to improve organizational effectiveness. An implemented ERP system does not automatically guarantee full benefits. The application software should be a simple, affordable and integrated ERP solution designed for all type businesses. This research paper substantiates the necessity of ERP-systems’ use in the business-oriented companies. It is important that ERP is operated as planned and thus provides the real-time information with a desired level of process integration. Any ERP system pushes an organization toward full process integration and solves the fragmentation of information. However, the tight process integration involves operational issues that must be carefully managed. Implementing an ERP system project is a difficult and high cost proposition as it places tremendous demands on organization’s time and resources. This paper looks at an implemented ERP system in Indian organizations. The core aspect of the paper is an over view on the implemented ERP system, which is measured user satisfaction and post-implementation factors.
