ADOPTION OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS
Executive Summary
The main objective of this report is to understand about adoption of an enterprise system in
an organization. ES are built on software based platforms and databases. The most significant
examples of enterprise system include Fusion of Oracle and NetWeaver of SAP. Such
distinctive databases and storage devices are associated with large scale businesses. The
larger data volume are being controlled by these systems. Scalability and reliability of
resources are enabled with these systems as well as reliability of IT infrastructure is
maximized. ES is responsible for providing some of the major and the most significant
contributions to a business after successful implementation. Time is saved and overall costs
of the business are reduced to a high level. Moreover, there are few important drivers that
enhance ES implementation. This report has provided relevant details regarding the process
of implementing an enterprise system within an organization.

ADOPTION OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS
1. Introduction
Enterprise systems or ES can be referred to as the large scale software packages,
which comprise of the core ability of tracking and controlling all types of complicated
operations of a business (Carayon et al. 2015). ES are utilized as a centralized command hub
that is effective in helping to make the entire business completely automated, so that decision
making process becomes quite easy to execute. ES allows business data to remain stored in a
usable format and make the entire process of customer service automated so that customers
get a consistent experience to ensure that every back office function is being streamlined and
time is saved (Ram, Wu and Tagg 2014). ES is extremely important for any organization to
ensure confidential data and information of the customers are completely safe and secured
(Rice 2013). The following report will be outlining a detailed analysis on adoption of
enterprise systems in an organization after successful identification of principle drivers,
checking of contribution of the ES and considerations of change management with relevant
details.
2. Discussion
2.1 Principle Drivers behind Businesses for adopting Enterprise Systems
The principle drivers behind businesses for adopting ES are as follows:
i) Cost: The cost factor is one of the main key drivers in the ES implementations as
because the selection procedure of the ES in an organization is mainly cost dependent. The
cost factor also have certain complexities due to which the cost of the ES implementation is
high in the medium sized companies (Shatat 2015). The cost here is defined as the software
and implementation services. The implementation of the software costs more than that of the
software itself and also the hardware cost also adds up to the total implementation cost.
