摘要：This paper describes the benefits of developing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) strat-egy. The research starts with an analysis of the current ERP market, in terms of products and related services, in order to identify the beneficiaries’ needs and behavior. ERP projects have been experiencing a period of strict budget control. This led to a more mature approach of the customers during the selection of the ERP products, vendors and system integrators. As a result we see more realistic expectations regarding ERP’s functionalities and a stronger focus on the business value generated by ERP implementations. In this context companies under-stand the meaning and the importance of developing ERP strategies. The paper explains ways of creating efficient ERP strategies based on the entire ERP lifecycle, from business analysis, process engineering, system analysis and design, implementation and maintenance support, and focusing on the organization’s strategic processes.
