A successful deployment of an ERP system : a case study of a small Greek company

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of a case analysis of a successful ERP implementation in the context of a Greek small enterprise. Past research has identified factors that are important to the successful implementation of ERP systems. However, the majority of the papers describe unsuccessful cases of ERP implementation systems examining and pinpointing the factors which led to failure. In Greece, there is a relative lack of empirical studies in examining the adoption of ERP by Greek firms, but most importantly there is a complete lack of studies of Greek small enterprises having applied an ERP system either with success or failure
