Abstract:
One of the critical success factors (CSF) of an
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) implementation project is user training. In
consequence, in this paper we focus our attention on compiling a list of CSFs
that affect the ERP implementation training phase. Then we analyzed the
training methods used in ERP implementations in order to provide better
solutions than the ones identified in the IS literature. We studied the
documentation of several implementation projects conducted at a Romanian ERP
system vendor targeting SMEs (Small and Medium Sized Enterprises) and identified
a series of problems concerning the way the training activity was conducted and
monitored. Thus, we proposed a framework for a system that resolves the
identified problems and provides several other features that significantly
diminish the resource consumption (time and money) associated with the training
activity, by integrating a computer based training method (CBT) that enables more personalized, effective and
less expensive training sessions. We believe that several ideas that we used in
developing this system can also be applied in other ERP environments.
