An Empirical Analysis of Critical Success Factors for CD-ERP Model

Abstract

Collaboratively-Developed ERP (CD-ERP) is an intermediate model between two well-known models, namely: closed-and open-source systems. This model is based on the community-source paradigm and ERP packages. It has been proposed for Libyan higher education (LHE) to be governed by a consortium of LHE institutions. To investigate the applicability of this model in LHE, this paper presents an analysis of critical success factor (CSFs) based on both a review of the relevant literature and lessons learnt from similar projects. Using the literature review, the title of the model was proposed on the basis of its fundamental elements. Cases of other projects which follow a similar approach show that communitysource has been adopted by many universities and government bodies worldwide. Also, many of the issues observed in such projects are similar to those that appear in the literature, especially in regards to distributed and collaboratively working environments.

Using agile practice under the CD-ERP model: A hybrid approach

“…As illustrated in Figure 1, the authors examined: firstly the Libyan side, in terms of IS performance, the capability to develop ISs, and other aspects of LHE at university level. The results of the fieldwork in Libya can be found in (Almigheerbi, Ramsey, and Lamek, 2019) (Almigheerbi et al, 2020), while other publications on the topic of the CD-ERP model can be found in (Almigheerbi, Ramsey and Lamek, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c and. Secondly the international side was studied in terms of how such ISs have been implemented and what can be learnt from these experiences.…”
