Abstract
The world has become more digitized. Businesses are depending on technology to help them enhance their business processes. Companies are looking for an information system that can handle massive workloads. This is where Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems come into play. An ERP integrates different subsystems into one huge system that shares one database. It enhances productivity and brings more profit to companies (Hasselbring, 2000). The purpose of this paper is to address the effects of ERP systems on organizations. The paper will discuss these issues and present a scheme to overcome them. Research was carried out with articles, as well as books, to gather the suitable resources that will help us in discussing the factors that contribute to ERP systems. Many of the articles are from IEEE journals. A large volume of data was collected that represents millions of users. Analyzing the collected data will give researchers insight into the effects brought about by ERP systems. In addition, the paper will explore these issues and their impacts on organizations.
