A FRAMEWORK FOR ERP INTEGRATION

Delvin Grant, Qiang Tu

2005

Abstract

Companies try to seamlessly integrate all areas of their business by adopting technologies such as business process reengineering, supply chain management, ERP and customer relationship management in an attempt to address increasing global competition. ERP is still the most used technology for enterprise integration. This paper presents a six-level framework of ERP enterprise integration and defines the prerequisite requirements for effective integration at each level. The proposed framework should provide ground for some interesting future research directions in ERP integration.
