Abstract

This article contends that vendors are now pushing into the small to mid-size organizational markets with simplified, less-risk, less-reward systems while consultants have project experience and have thorough contracts isolating their role. However, SMEs that adopted ERP on-premise solutions before are now facing a dilemma: continuing with ERP on-premise upgrades or switch to on-demand solutions. This article contains data surveyed from Chief Information Officers (CIO) of SMEs with respect to indicators of ERP adoptions. Cost, reduced demand for own IT resources, outage/accessibility and performance were found to be the most critical and important factors to assess ERP adoptions for SMEs.
