Enterprise Systems Course Portfolio: Synopsis and Learning Reflection

This document presents an e-portfolio created by a Business Analyst, demonstrating learning from a short Enterprise Systems course. The portfolio includes a synopsis and reflection on the course content, focusing on the role of enterprise systems within large-scale organizations' IT infrastructure, with a specific focus on cloud-based ERP systems. It evaluates and integrates information from various sources, analyzing the determinants of cloud-based ERP selection and adoption, critical success factors for deployment, and the impact on the ERP lifecycle, particularly the retirement phase. The portfolio also addresses relevant considerations in the implementation of Enterprise Systems. The author has synthesized ideas from multiple sources, providing a coordinated, coherent, and independent exposition of knowledge, as requested by their employer. The references include research papers discussing scalability, flexibility, cost-saving, and the sociotechnical framework for selecting and adapting cloud-based ERP systems. This portfolio is intended to be shared within the company's intranet or knowledge portal to share the newly acquired knowledge.

CLOUD BASED ERP SYSTEM
Das, S., & Dayal, M. (2016). Exploring determinants of cloud-based enterprise resource
planning (ERP) selection and adoption: A qualitative study in the Indian education
sector. Journal of Information Technology Case and Application Research, 18(1), 11-
36.
The paper is associated with discussing about the scalability, flexibility and the
cost saving of the cloud based ERP systems. The study conducted in this paper is mainly
aimed at exploring the drivers of this technologies selection and adaptation by means of
putting forward of a sociotechnical framework which integrates the three major three
major technological adaptation theories. This framework provided has been tested by
making use of the case-study methodology. The results which has been obtained depicts
important implications of the Cloud based ERP providers as well as the clients which is
aimed at enhancement of the diffusion rate.
de Oliveira, E. T., & Rodello, I. A. (2018, June). Critical sucess factors for cloud-based ERP
systems deployment: A study with Brazilian companies. In 2018 13th Iberian
Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (CISTI) (pp. 1-6). IEEE.
The paper is associated with depicting the fact that the deployment of the ERP in
the cloud computing model is an alternative way of decreasing the cost of
implementation and the legislation compliance. Consequently this paper has also been
highlighting the fact that this model deployment would be associated with changing the
traditional recommendations related to eth critical success factors during the entire life
cycle. The study conducted in this paper had made a huge contribution towards providing
of the theoretical framework which can be used by the companies as well as by
consultants so as to determine the success or the failure of the cloud based ERP systems.

CLOUD BASED ERP SYSTEM
Demi, S., & Haddara, M. (2018). Do Cloud ERP Systems Retire? An ERP Lifecycle
Perspective. Procedia computer science, 138, 587-594.
The paper has been associated with depicting the fact that the rapid development
in the technology and the increased number of transitions of the on-premises ERP
systems to the clouds based ERP. This paper has been associated with investigating the
ways by which the cloud ERP systems might be potentially associated with affecting the
ERP lifecycle specially the retirement phase of the ERP which is the phase that is
associated with needing the replacement of the old ERP system with a new one. The
results obtained after conducting this study suggests the fact that the cloud ERP systems
might be having a longer ERP lifecycle timeframe than te On-premises ERP systems.
