Business Analyst Enterprise Systems Course Portfolio Analysis

This portfolio, created by a Business Analyst, synthesizes learning from an Enterprise Systems course. It covers key aspects of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, addressing challenges such as cost-effectiveness, alignment with business processes, and the importance of customized governance and training. The portfolio highlights best practices for ERP implementation, emphasizing the need for a close investigation of business requirements to avoid misfits. It explores the selection of cloud-based ERP system providers using multi-criteria decision-making processes and examines factors influencing the adoption of cloud-based Enterprise Information Systems (EISs) through the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. The portfolio integrates multiple information sources to analyze Enterprise Systems, describes their role within IT infrastructure, and identifies relevant considerations for implementation, all presented in a coordinated and coherent manner. This document is designed to demonstrate the practical application of course concepts and is intended for sharing knowledge within the organization. The portfolio draws upon at least ten references to support its analysis and recommendations, showcasing the integration of various information sources. This document is contributed by a student to be published on the website Desklib, a platform which provides all the necessary AI based study tools for students.

Australian SMEs. Systems, 4(2), 20.
This paper has been associated with discussing about the common challenges
which are faced by the ERP solutions and this is mainly associated with including the
cost effectiveness, alignment between software and business processes, customized
governance and training, which are associated with forming the major constraints for the
ERP used by the SME. The best practices guidelines for the ERP implementation by the
SMEs is associated with including a close investigation of the business requirements so
as to avoid any kind of misfits this is associated with forming the major objective of the
study. Key success factors of the ERP implementation have also been identified in this
paper.

This paper is associated with formulating the process of selecting the appropriate
Cloud based ERP system providers which acts as a multi criteria group decision making
problem and is associated with presenting an fuzzy multi criteria group decision making
problems. The paper has also been associated with developing a fuzzy multi criteria
group decision making so as to generate the coefficient related to closeness for each and
every Cloud based ERP system providers across all criteria’s. besides this the paper also
presents an example which is associated with showing a fuzzy multi criteria group

decision making procedures which is efficient for the solving the Cloud based ERP
system provider selection problem in the real world.

According to this paper the cloud computing concept is growing at a very fast
speed. This study has been associated with making attempts related to investigating the
factors which are associated with influencing the usage as well as the adaptation of the
Cloud EISs by means of considering the TOE framework or the Technology-
Organization-Environment Framework which acts as basis for providing of directions to
the cloud service providers related to the designing of their products for the purpose of
increasing the adoptationa nd the usage. Besides this AHP or the Analytic Hierarchy
Process have also been used for ranking the determined factors.
