Summary and Conclusion
This study presents experiences that are obtained from a successful ERP
implementation project in MIE. As a conclusion, studies towards reporting successful
ERP implementation projects should be encouraged. It is the best way to share
successful experiences among companies of similar nature. Issues of post
implementation period should also be taken in to consideration such that strategic needs
and requirements for sustaining the effectiveness of such enterprise information
systems after a period of relative stability following initial implementation will be clearly understood.
