The study also examines the relationship between ERP implementation cost and ERP project success in order to better manage enterprises ERP projects in context of SMEs.
Risk Management in ERP Project in the Context of SMEs
This paper contributes to the discussion on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations in the context of small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). Fewer than 30 % of ERP implementations have been successful, meaning the projects were completed on time, within budget, and with all required characteristics. The principal reason for failure has often been associated with the poor management of ERP implementation projects. Several standardised methods and techniques have been developed to help enterprises to better manage their ERP projects. The purpose of this paper is to identify and assess the main risks in the ERP projects through the case study of three manufacturing SMEs. By using company-specific risk analysis method (RAM), the critical risks of the ERP projects have been identified and assessed. Then, by using characteristics analysis method (CAM), the recommendations of how to divide the ERP projects into manageable sub projects have been given.

Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in India are the most productive job designers and forerunners in developing new ideas in the field of business. SMEs not only play a vital role in providing large scale employment openings at reasonably lower capital than large businesses but also help in industrialization of rural areas in India. SMEs are complementary to large industries as subsidiary units and this sector contributes immensely to the socioeconomic development of the country. Small and Medium scale industries have grown tremendously in the last 5 decades. In spite of high enthusiasm and intrinsic capabilities to grow, there are a number of problems faced by SME"s; one of them is the "technological obsolescence". The SME sector in order to outcome this challenge must make advances in the field of engineering and technology. Adoption of Information Communication Technology in their business process can enhance their productivity and global competency.in the market. In this connection Enterprise Resource Planning plays a vital role in the SME"s business process strategy. Hence there is a need for the motivation to implement ERP and find whether the current ICT solution the industries using are adequate for their strategy. In this paper we try to find out which ERP vendors does the SME sectors prefer, are the features of the ERP system and the implementation methodology selected have met the business goals and user satisfaction.
Formulating, Implementing and Evaluating ERP in Small and Medium Scale Industries
The World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering
To increase the efficiency and productivity, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are implemented in corporations. However, the implementation of ERP can be extremely tricky. Due to this, many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) fail to identify the importance of ERP and address its challenge. ERP has a big role to play particularly in developing countries. There is a need to motivate SMEs to implement ERP and make it a successful business in developing countries. This need is evident as SMEs play a vital role in the economic development and stability in the developing countries. However, only a handful of details are publicly available about the success and failure factors of the SMEs in the developing countries. To motivate SMEs, this work aims to provide a list of key critical success factors (CSF) found in various ERP systems in SME related literatures. We are proposing a generic matrix of the important CSFs found in literature. This work identified the top 3 CSFs to be the top management support, change management and project management. This work further proposes a model consisting of different phases of ERP implementation to be followed. In this paper, we attempt to relate the main CSFs with the management decisions. Further, the CSFs are ranked based on the correlation with the success of ERP implementation. This can benefit the SMEs which are considering or implementing ERP better.

Evaluating Critical Success Factors of ERP Implementation in SMEs
International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE) ISSN: 2277-3878, Volume-8 Issue-2, 2019
This paper is aimed at reviewing present state of the art (1998-March 2019) on the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). It includes critical success factors and critical failure factors.The technique depends on writing survey for optional information gathering. It characterizes the expressions that are utilized to get explore papers from databases and advanced studies on the ERP implementation in SMEs. It additionally incorporates the consideration and prohibition criteria to improve nature of papers. At that point methodical audit is made on the accessible papers to research the effect of ERP usage in SMEs.Critical factors are identified for success and failure of ERP implementations and actual impact of the same on SMEs (add actual success and failure factors here besides impact). The research found in this paper has limitations in terms of the period of which research papers have been reviewed. An implicit limitation is that it does not consider an empirical study except focusing on the state of the art found in the research area. However, its insights will have potential benefits and the directions for future work helps in further scope of the research. This paper contributes to the research on the impact of ERP implementation on SMEs either positively or negatively. It discovers critical success factors, critical failure factors and impact through secondary data collection method. The insights will help SMEs and stakeholders of SMEs and ERP service providers to know the reasons for failure or success and take necessary course of action.

Influence of SME characteristics on the implementation of ERP
TELKOMNIKA Telecommunication Computing Electronics and Control, 2020
The ERP market has recently experienced a significant evolution in recent years, both in large companies and in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Compared to large companies, SMEs are distinguished by specific characteristics that can influence the implementation of the ERP system in these organizations. The purpose of this study is to analyse how these characteristics can determine the success or the failure of ERP implementation in SMEs. First, a set of characteristics, specific to SMEs has been identified from the relevant literature. Then, the influence of each characteristic on the different ERP lifecycle activities were studied. A multiple case study of four SMEs from different sectors was conducted. The data collection was carried out through 28 individual interviews with several stakeholders (users, external consultants, internal IT specialists and managers) in the four cases. The analysis of the interview data showed first that financial resources, Decision making and, the type of ownership of the company were identified as the most influential contextual factors. Then the two phases of the ERP life cycle "implementation" and "use and maintenance" were identified as being the most affected by the context of SMEs. The study results have significant implications for experts, managers and information.
