“…Previous studies reported that organization dimension strongly influence on the organizational IT adoption of an innovation (Laukkanen et al, 2007). ERP system is an enterprise-wide generic solution, thus during implementation phase it requires vendors to customize the software according to HEIs' requirements.…”

The focus of enterprise resource planning (ERP) adoption among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has attracted the interest of many Information System (IS) researchers. As a result of its great business values, the adoption of ERP solution is increasingly growing within HEIs. However, very limited studies have focused their attention towards understanding the determinants of ERP adoption among HEIs, especially in Egypt. Furthermore, the adoption of ERP systems in Egypt is still in the beginning stage with no many adopters among HEIs. Therefore, this study aims to fill in the gap by investigating technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) framework among HEIs. Accordingly, the objective of this research paper is mainly trying to introduce a conceptualized research model that can be used to examine ERP adoption among HEIs. This article contributes to the development of theoretical framework of the ERP adoption to explain the competitive advantage within HEIs by using TOE framework. The current study will provide guidelines to ERP providers, the government, and HEIs in Egypt to accelerate ERP adoption.

Today, great potential is envisaged for ERP systems in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and software vendors have been repackaging their ERP systems for SMEs with a recent focus on cloud-based systems. While cloud ERP offers the best solution for SMEs without the overheads of the huge investment and management costs that are associated with traditional ERP systems, the SME sector faces many challenges in their adoption. Traditional ERP studies have predominantly focused on large organizations, and gaps in the literature indicate that both vendor and consumer perspectives require more understanding with new technology offerings for SMEs. This paper describes some of the common challenges, such as cost effectiveness, alignment between software and business processes, customized governance and training, which form the major SME constraints for ERP system adoption. Due to the dynamic nature of SME businesses, best practice guidelines for an SME's ERP implementation could be arrived at through closer investigation of its business requirements in order to avoid misfits. This forms the main objective of the study. We identify key success factors of ERP implementation in an Australian SME as a case study. These target success factors are then compared to the actual outcomes achieved. Factors such as business process alignment with the ERP system, meeting customer and stakeholder needs and reducing recurring and maintenance costs were key to the success of ERP implementation for the Australian SME. In particular, the IT and business strategy alignment with a customer focus and flexible reporting features of ERP systems has resulted in business agility.

Abstract. The service-oriented paradigm plays an increasingly significant role in designing and governing IT architectures in organizations. The identification of services belongs to the most important parts of the service management lifecycle and is essential for the successful implementation of service-oriented architectures (SOA). However, existing methods for service identification mostly ignore situation-specific factors for such projects. Situational method engineering can be used to design a meta method to support the development of situation-specific methods for service identification. Based on a literature review and two case studies, this paper elaborates on context factors and SOA implementation goals being constituting elements of situations. These situations are tailored to the service identification domain. Applying this meta method in concrete project situations will help to engineer appropriate methods for service identification.
