The most expected benefits gained from
ERP system adoption perceived by com-
panies are integrated and better quality of
information (4,59), business process im-
provement (4,25), improved service lev-
els and quality (4,21), enhanced decision
making (4,11), reduced cycle times and
increased customer satisfaction (4,03).
These are the ERP selection criteria that
were ranked as of highest importance in
the group of ERP benefits criteria.
This chapter examines the importance of ERP
system selection criteria also studied by Bern-
roider & Koch (2001) and Bernroider & Leseure
(2005). Altogether, 28 ERP selection criteria
were identified and investigated in the research.
The investigated criteria were grouped into the
ERP benefits criteria, the ERP system quality
criteria, the ERP vendor-related criteria and the
ERP package criteria. All the groups have been
found internally consistent.
Out of 28 investigated selection criteria, 17 are
the most important in a means of expectations of
companies in Slovenia from ERP system selec-
tion. These criteria are the following:
•
The highest expectations of companies re-
garding the ERP system quality criteria are
system reliability (4,61), system function-
ality (4,37), system usability (4,31), sys-
tem flexibility (4,22) and system interoper-
ability (4,09).
