Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as a Digital Transformation Strategy in Modern Organizations

Abstract

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an integrated information system designed to manage and coordinate all resources and key business processes within an organization. The increasingly complex and competitive business environment demands that companies have systems capable of providing accurate, integrated, and real-time information to support strategic decision-making. This paper aims to comprehensively examine the concept of Enterprise Resource Planning, covering the background and history of ERP development, basic requirements and concepts, system architecture, main modules, and stages of ERP implementation in organizations. Furthermore, the discussion also focuses on key success factors, challenges and obstacles to ERP implementation, as well as case studies of ERP implementation in national and international companies. In the digital era, ERP has experienced significant development through the use of cloud computing technology, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile applications that make the system more flexible, adaptive, and intelligent. The results of the discussion indicate that ERP not only plays a role as an operational support tool, but also as a digital transformation strategy that can improve efficiency, business process integration, data transparency, and company competitiveness. Therefore, a deep understanding and thorough implementation planning are key to ensuring that the ERP system can provide optimal benefits for business continuity.
