“…Complexity is an effort related to achievement of performance in accordance with predetermined objectives and reduce effects in the completion of complex tasks. Complexity is a problem-solving solution that comes from diverse and conflicting with performance, behavior, fault tolerance, security and dependency, Complexity is determined largely by the selection of business processes supported by the system or module to be implemented [14,16,30]. Complexity is used not only in special cases but also in the standard methodology used to manage information systems or systems management projects.…”

“…The complexity of the organization refers to the number, and relationship, hierarchical level, organizational unit, and specialization. The complexity of technology refers to quantities, and relationships, inputs, outputs, tasks, and technologies [16,32]. In addition, the complexity of developing the Information system is a manifestation of the high failure rate historically from the information system development project.…”

Demand for the industry to enhance competitive advantage. For that, the industry is required to make a breaking through in order to enhance the organizational performance. This is a reason for addressing the inefficiencies in managing people, processes, organizations, and technology. One of the efforts in improving organization performance is the development in the field of Information Systems as an effort to improve the agility of the organization. ERP system is one solution that can be employed in order to improve organization performance. However, in reality, industrial companies face problems in ERP implementation. This is a challenge to solve the problems of implementing an ERP system for industry. In this opportunity, researchers intend to conduct a re-search to identify the problems of factors in the ERP implementation, namely by proposing agile methods as one of the new methodologies in the effort to solve the problems in the ERP implementation for an industry. The results of this study will result in an agile model of implementing ERP for improving the capacity of ERP systems. This study idea is to analyze the agile method as a solution alternative to make changes for the ERP implementation success. This study is using Structural Equation Modeling as a quantitative data analysis approach of an industry as a case study.

“…Implementing ERP is a complex process to be achieved in an effective and timely manner. The complexity is influenced by the business processes reengineering to suit the business processes of the chosen ERP system [4], [5]. Another reason underlying the complexity of the ERP implementation is it exceeds the expected time and budget.…”

In the digital era, companies are required to optimize technological innovation to increase capacity in achieving work that is more efficient, effective, productive, and has a competitive advantage. Companies must use the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity. Implementing an ERP system provides competitive advantages by means of decision-making proven for fast and precise management. ERP system is an integrated information system for strategic company management decision-making. For this reason, implementing an ERP system is necessary. Unfortunately, the fact shows that many companies fail to implement an ERP system, resulting in costly implementation expenses. Previous research has discussed empirical studies on the critical success factors for implementing an ERP system effectively. Therefore, further research still needs to be done by discussing ERP implementation from the perspective of measuring companies’ readiness levels in ERP system implementation. This research methodology criticized and analyzed the comparison of eleven prior research articles as a basis for developing a model to measure companies’ readiness levels in implementing ERP systems. This research examined quantitative data gathered through the use of questionnaire method to rank indicators for measuring companies’ readiness levels by identifying four dimensions and 27 indicators. This research aims to produce a model for measuring companies’ readiness to implement the ERP system on time successfully.

“…Therefore, it is crucial to understand the benefits to the organisation benefits in implementing SAP as their AIS (Meiryani et al, 2020). SAP solutions includes multiple parameters, which demonstrate the degree of intricacy involved with SAP (Holub & Bruckner, 2016). Additionally, when the customer requires a customised SAP system for their organisation, it is time-consuming to design ERP system (Beheshti et al, 2014).…”

In this era of information technology, computerisation, and automation, Accounting Information Systems (AIS) have become the foundation of every organisation. Previous studies explain that AIS is an integrated system providing financial and non-financial services. Thus, companies use the larger versions of enterprise resource planning system (ERP) software packages to integrate AIS into one application. The leading global AIS in the market are System Application and Product in Processing (SAP), Oracle, and Microsoft. This study focuses on SAP as an AIS because it is the market leader and owns more than fifty percent of the global market, as reported by various studies. SAP provides benefits to organisations. It helps in the transfer of data across organisations, despite the challenges confronted during implementation. Therefore, this study's primary focus is on understanding potential benefits, and challenges New Zealand (NZ) companies faced in SAP implementation, and the subsequent strategies to overcome those challenges. This study adopted interpretive research with an inductive approach. It was qualitative and was based on primary data collection through semi-structured interviews. The collected data was analysed using thematic analysis. The SAP potential benefits, and challenges in implementation, and coping mechanisms were reflected through themes using thematic analysis. The research findings disclosed potential benefits from implementing SAP software for NZ companies, namely, productivity of organisations, benefits to the users, real-time data, and stable and secured system. Additionally, findings unveil various SAP implementation challenges, including change management challenges, inadequate project management, technical challenges, knowledge challenges, and organisational challenges. Lastly, the results suggest the coping mechanisms to overcome SAP implementation challenges include training and education, legacy systems, top management support, allocation of adequate resources, and expert implementation team. This study provides a rich insight into the complex and challenging nature of the implementation process and the potential benefits the company might receive from implementing SAP in NZ. The research adds to the existing body of knowledge regarding SAP implementation in NZ companies; and contributes to the ability to assist organisations in their implementation efforts; and empowers project managers, SAP end-users, support-users, and implementers for better management of the inherent intricacy of the implementation process.
