Project: ERP System Implementation with Emerging Technologies

This project focuses on the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system within an organization, emphasizing the integration of emerging technologies and innovation. It addresses problem domains such as Supply Chain Management, Customer Relationship Management, and Human Resource Management, justifying the need for a sophisticated business solution. The project outlines research questions concerning the advantages of cloud-based ERP systems and the problems they resolve. A theoretical framework is established using reliable, peer-reviewed sources, and a methodology based on secondary data analysis and paraphrased information is employed. The project plan includes Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) tasks covering project initiation, planning, execution, and closing, along with risk management strategies and a Gantt chart. The bibliography lists relevant academic sources used to support the research and implementation strategy.

Project rationale
• Problem Domain
– Supply Chain Management
– Customer Relationship Management
– Human Resource Management
• Justification
– The purpose is to introduce a sophisticated business
solution that can meet the necessary objectives and
goals of the organization.

can manage above problems

Research Questions
• What are the advantages of moving towards cloud-based
ERP system?
• What are problems that are resolved with the use of
Cloud ERP system?

Theoretical framework
• Reliable source collection
• Topic relative peer reviewed paper
• Annotated bibliography
• Gap identification
• recommendations

Methodology
• The sources are collected from reliable libraries including Google
Scholar, Elsevier, IEE, and others
• Secondary data analysis using annotated bibliography
• Theoretical data is being collected considering the different
perspectives of many writers who emphasized and reflected on the
same topic
• The information is paraphrased and referenced wherever the same
information is being collected from the sources. None of the
information of the sources are being claimed as the personal
research.
