Introduction
The objective of the assessment is to provide a critique on the selected people. With the
help of this critique it will become easy to understand the concept that is associated with
enterprise resource planning. The focus of the assessment is to describe the critical success
factors that are associated with implementing an ERP system. With the help of this report it will
become easy to identify the key factors that are needed for successfully implementing an ERP
system between organizations.
Enterprise resource planning is one of the most essential systems that help in enhancing
the business performance. The paper will focus on outlining the major factors that are related to
enterprise resource planning and the need of enterprise resource planning within an organization.
With the use of proper technology implementation it becomes easy to enhance the performance.
Thus with this report it will become easy to provide better service towards the organization.
About importance of ERP implementation
The motive of the article is to state the success factors that are needed for implementing
an ERP system efficiently. It has been observed that there are several companies that faces
difficulties with maintaining the competitive advantage in the market and also faces huge
challenge with information and communication technologies. In order to enhance the business

There is a huge need to have proper knowledge about the critical success factors that has
the potential to implement the ERP systems successfully. There is a huge need to have proper
control over the implementation process so that it can offer better competitive advantages
towards the present world organiztaion. The research paper has discussed the entire essential
concept for the purpose of finalizing the critical success factors associated with the ERP system.
This is considered to be the foundation of identifying critical success factors. In order to
successfully implement a system it is important to mitigate the risk that arises with the system.
Apart from this there are several factors that are needed to be identified for the ERP
implementation includes determining the strategic goal associated with the organization,
managing the top management committee, implementing proper project management practices it,
change management practices it, selecting appropriate team, managing data quality, providing
proper training in different levels within the organization. Apart from this it is equally important
to perform proper measures within the system that will the possible risks and benefits that are
going to be offered with the implementation of ERP system.
ERP implementations tend to consume a huge amount of time take for implementation
and are very costly. The paper has evaluated several other research papers from the past works so
that it becomes easy to draw proper conclusion. In addition to this there are several
implementation strategies that are evaluated within the people for the purpose of providing
proper support towards the organization [1]. There is a huge need to have proper knowledge
about the critical success factors that has the potential to improve the business performance.
Factors for ERP failures
There are several factors that hamper the successful implementation of the ERP system.
