Erp Project Implementation: Evidence From the Oil and Gas Sector

Abstract

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems provide integration and optimization of various business processes, which can lead to improved planning and decision quality, and a smoother coordination between business units, resulting in higher efficiency and a quicker response time to customer demands and inquiries. This paper reports the challenges and opportunities and the outcome of an ERP implementation process in the Oil & Gas exploration sector. This study will facilitate the understanding of the transition, constraints, and implementation process of ERP in this sector and will also provide guidelines from lessons learned in this regard.
