Abstract: Assimilation of a standard ERP system to an organization is difficult. User involvement seems to be the crux of the matter. However, even the best intentions for user involvement may come to nothing. A case study of a five year ERP implementation process reveals that a main reason for this miss may be that the perception of usefulness in any given phase of the implementation is heavily dependant on preceding events – the process. A process model analysis identifies eight episodes and nine encounters in the case showing that users attitude towards an ERP system change between acceptance, equivocation, resistance and rejection depending on three things: (1) Dynamic between user and consultants, (2) Dynamic between different user groups, and (3) Understanding of technical, organizational and socio-technical options.
