“…The same can be said about the relationship among ERP systems, decision support systems, business intelligence systems, and strategic decision-making. There is limited research, and most of it is related to the development of conceptual models such as Shafiei andSundaram ͑2004͒ andChou et al ͑2005͒. BI systems require an organization to plan how the ERP system should be integrated with the BI system.…”

ERP systems are typically the largest, most complex, and most demanding information systems implemented by firms, representing a major departure from the individual and departmental information systems prevalent in the past. Firms and individuals are extensively impacted, and many problematic issues remain to be researched. ERP and related integrated technologies are a transformative force on the accounting profession. As the nature of business evolves, accounting expertise is being called on to make broader contributions such as reporting on nonfinancial measures, auditing information systems, implementing management controls within information systems, and providing management consulting services. This review of ERP research is drawn from an extensive examination of the breadth of ERP-related literature without constraints as to a narrow timeframe or limited journal list, although particular attention is directed to the leading journals in information systems and accounting information systems. Early research consisted of descriptive studies of firms implementing ERP systems. Then researchers started to address other research questions about the factors that lead to successful implementations: the need for change management and expanded forms of user education, whether the financial benefit outweighed the cost, and whether the issues are different depending on organizational type and cultural factors. This research encouraged the development of several major ERP research areas: ͑1͒ critical success factors, ͑2͒ the organizational impact, and ͑3͒ the economic impact of ERP systems. We use this taxonomy to establish ͑1͒ what we know, ͑2͒ what we need, and ͑3͒ where we are going in ERP research.

An emphasis is placed on topics important to accounting, including ͑but not limited to͒ the risk management and auditing of ERP systems, regulatory issues, the internal and external economic impacts of ERP systems, extensions needed in ERP systems for XBRL, for interorganizational support, and for the design of management control systems.

“…Operational staff are unwilling to use the ERP system ERP systems are mainly designed to integrate and automate transaction processing activities of companies (Chou et al, 2005). Consequently, operational staff in the shop floor are the main users of ERP, and they do so extensively in their daily work (Scapens and Jazayeri, 2003).…”

Purpose -The purpose of the study reported in this paper is to identify, assess and explore potential risks that can affect long-term viability of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the post-implementation and exploitation phase. Design/methodology/approach -The research took a large Chinese private group as a case study. A theoretical ERP risk ontology, which was adopted from the literature, was used to frame the study and generate data collection tools. Two questionnaires were thus designed and used to explore ERP post-implementation risks in the case company. Findings -The study identified 37 risk events, of which seven were identified as the most critical for ERP exploitation in the case company. The findings show that organisational and human-related risks are the crucial factors for potential ERP failure and not the usually suspect technical risks. Research limitations/implications -This study contributes to the knowledge of ERP in general, and provides valuable insights into ERP post-implementation risks in large companies in particular. Practical implications -The findings will not just be useful in supporting ERP risk identification and management in the large Chinese companies, but will also be beneficial to other large companies in general, which may be confronted with similar ERP exploitation challenges. Originality/value -The majority of large companies in China and in the West have implemented ERP systems and engaged in the system post-implementation phase. Most of the existing literature in the field focuses on the process of implementation. This paper looks forward to the risks involved in the post-implementation phase. Understanding potential risks that may occur during ERP exploitation is vital for these large firms to achieve and sustain business success though their ERP systems.

This article presents a discussion on the importance of business intelligence (BI) and the role that a specific BI tool, Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, plays in the strategic decision-making processes in an organisation. The University of the Witwatersrand, often referred to as Wits, was used as a case study. The main objective of a business intelligence tool is to improve the quality and timeliness of the input of data to the organisational decision-making process. The quality of the data, which is an organisational asset, is therefore of the utmost importance. Approaches for the identification of business intelligence from corporate information and knowledge management were also assessed. A questionnaire was administered among key informants within the university in order to address some of the pertinent issues at higher education institutions. In addition, the role of a data warehouse within the business intelligence framework was presented. The paper itself covers a wide range of disciplines from information technology, knowledge management to decision sciences. The article also presents a proposed framework to be used in line with the best practices in the implementation of business intelligence solutions.
