Abstract

In this paper we have analyzed some critical implementation factors of an ERP project implementation in universities and their interdependencies. Taking into consideration that for industry implementations there are already many performed studies we started by considering university implementations as a particular case for the industry ones. Starting from this, we have identified and analyzed differences for the case of universities regarding communication structure, management involvement, organization, implementation team competences, legacy systems, inter-department communication, user training, suppliers/ customers' partnership, external consultants. The conclusions of this study are going to be used in developing an evaluation framework of ERP solutions for higher education management.
