THE IMPACT OF ERP SYSTEMS ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE: A HOLISTIC REVIEW
Enterprise Resource Planning systems have become essential to organizations undergoing digital transformation by bringing together functions like finance, supply chain, human resources, and customer relationship management into a single, unified platform. These systems promise improvements in productivity, cost efficiency, and data accuracy, but their success depends heavily on how they are implemented, supported, and optimized over time.
In this review, I examine a broad collection of studies published between 2001 and 2025 to uncover what makes ERP systems truly effective. The evidence shows that using ERP in isolation often leads to modest benefits. However, when organizations pair it with strong leadership support, careful change management, well-designed training, and integration with other systems—such as supply chain management, analytics, or performance platforms—the results are far more significant.
