“…The former hypothesis has been actually verified in a previously published paper by the authors in [34]. It was derived by the study that 92.7% of the companies stated that IS adoption was profitable at a high or at least a satisfactory level.…”

“…85.4% InformaƟon Systems that have been implemented As it was also referenced in the research conducted by the authors in [34], there are similarities and differences in regards of IS adoption with the research that was conducted by authors in [30]. The percentage of the companies they use IS in the current study is almost 75% higher than the one in [30].…”

“…Although the great majority of the companies (90.4%) have invested in an IS in the last decade [34], 62.7% of them have declared that are eager to invest in a new IS in the prompt future. According to the authors in [20], research in Korean manufacturing firms that have already implemented a form of ERP most of the firms were in the process of implementing, planning, or considering to implement various extensions to their ERP system.…”

“…Based on the H4 hypothesis that the profitability of a company is positively affected by the use of IS, two prominent different groups of companies were initially identified regarding the level of profitability they were lead: those which consider that their companies manage to obtain high level of profitability due to IS adoption (IS1 = n 1 = 36) and those that obtained a medium level of profitability due to IS adoption (IS2 = n 2 = 40) [34]. According to authors in [27], if the management chooses to implement SCM, the performance of Indian SMEs can be improved on several issues including financial issues.…”

Purpose—The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Information Systems (ISs) implementation in Greek industry. The main issues that are explored through this survey in regards to IS adoption are the financial and nonfinancial benefits that are derived due to IS adoption. The study also investigates the effect that IS adoption had in several business areas in regards to the factor of financial performance. Design/methodology/approach—The survey that was conducted was questionnaire based. Of the 96 valid responses that were received, 83 of them implemented at least one IS. Those 83 responses were analyzed statistically. Several statistical tools were used for that, such as: nonparametric χ2 tests for homogeneity, Cronbach Alpha method for the reliability of the questionnaire, and Mann–Whitney U tests. Findings—The results suggest that the majority of industry in Greece has implemented—at least—the ERP to conduct their business. In addition, most of them use a combination of not more than three ISs. The respondents are also satisfied by the financial impact of IS adoption. Inventory and warehouse management, along with customer service, were most positively affected by IS implementation. On the other hand, returned products reduction and the relationship with the suppliers were less positively affected by IS adoption. Research limitation/implications—The study has a limitation of being conducted in North Greece and not in the whole country. Originality/value—The paper constitutes an empirical research in regarding the financial and nonfinancial contribution of IS adoption in Greek industry. There are rather limited studies that have been conducted in Greece regarding IS implementation and the impact it poses in business affairs. The financial crisis along with the political instability that Greece has faced in the last decade makes it interesting to explore the influence of IS adoption in manufacturing enterprises. Usually, those studies are conducted in more developed countries where the financial and political environment is more stable.

The paper deals with problems in the post-implementation phase of management Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Proper management of the system maintenance stage is a basis for efficient system development in terms of business needs. Based on the research and analysis of collected materials, it turns out that making a decision to upgrade the system is equally crucial. We present revealed mechanisms determining the post-implementation approach to upgrade or reimplement the ERP system. The main aim is to determine the methodology and difference understanding to achieve success in the post-implementation stage. The paper shows that the systemic approach to the maintenance stage of the ERP system affects its further decisions: upgrade or reimplement. It has a direct impact on future maintenance costs and the scope of new business demands. This research is an outcome of industry–academia collaboration and based on several developed implementation systems, achieved upgrade and reimplementation projects. Based on case study analysis, we show that reimplementation means an evolution of the current ERP processes rather than another attempt to “reimplement” an unsuccessful system implementation. On the other hand, upgrades are not only a tool or system actualization but the easiest way to bolster company sustainability and to have the information system up to date. The issues discussed in the article will be used to develop changes in the implementation methodology of ERP systems.
