Implementing ERP in India–Issues and Problems

Abstract

ABSTRACT ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a successful technique of integrating business processes to one computer system so that the information is easily available and accessible to everybody in the system. Even though the technique is successful and helps in reducing the lead times, inventory costs, labor costs, etc., the adoption rate is low in India. This paper focuses on the problem areas that companies face while implementing ERP in their business processes. The basic reasons that have accounted for low implementation are that the organization structure in the businesses is still based on traditional management techniques, the communication infrastructure is very poor, the labor laws and low level of support from the government.
