Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions are the most frequently used software tool in companies in all industries. Therefore, the labour market requires the knowledge and skills for usage of ERP ...solutions from graduates – future employees. The main objective of our paper is therefore the identification of important factors that contribute to the acceptance of ERP solutions by students in economics and business and that shape their intentions to use this knowledge in the future. The model of our research is based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), extended by identified important multidimensional external factors that refer to (1) students’ personal characteristics and information literacy, (2) perceived system and technological characteristics of ERP solutions and (3) perceived support within the study process. Research results revealed that several dimensions of the three multidimensonal factors play an important role in shaping the attitudes towards acceptance of ERP solutions by students.
Accounting information system can be divided into traditional system based on computers with the database allocated among divisions and integrated business application (ERP- Enterprise Resource ...Planning) where all divisions have access to the data needed to successfully complete their basic functions. Integrated business solutions increase business efficiency, encourage preparation of reports of a high quality and increase efficiency of decision making processes. However, not only that these ERP models and their implementation is not cost effective they also decrease employee moral because ERP solutions are seen as a method of downsizing. Only 9,9% of Serbian enterprises use ERP solutions. The goal of this paper is to point out problems and challenges of ERP implementation, but also to focus on its advantages in terms of increased efficiency of the business.

The paper demonstrates the results of analysis of business sectors supported by specialised ERP solutions. It answers the following questions: is there a form of grouping ERP solutions producers ...based on the number of supported business sectors, is it possible to develop a mathematical model for estimation of the number of ERP producers which support business sectors to a certain level, is there a form of grouping business sectors based on the number of specialised ERP solutions which support them, and is it possible to develop a mathematical model for estimation of the number of business sectors which are supported by ERP solution to a certain level.
The big companies in Romania and not only, have been facing a series of challenges for several years. We mention here a very important stage, the digitization transition, here we are talking about ...RPA - Robotic Process Automation, but at the same time changing the versions of integrated ERP systems - moving to the new trends in terms of databases - in-memory - SAP HANA. The deadline for this changing is 2027, in regards with SAP solutions, but the preparations for such a change are extremely laborious and involves mixed teams of engineers and economists. That's why the choice to create auxiliary interfaces is one of the options widely circulated in the market, by SAP clients. Moreover, bringing automation, using RPA, is another option to be considered. In this article, the authors performed a study on possible solutions, among three large companies, in the area of oil & gas, pharma and paints (from production to sales and distributions), which they chose as a strategy for the next years. The study was based on certain questionnaires sent to SAP customers, regarding the choice of using interfaces, but also on their own developments of prototyping interfaces.
The paper describes a method for estimation of the size of business sectors covered by ERP solutions. It presents a short overview of existing methods for measuring the size of business sectors and ...software in general, including the ERP solution as its special type. A list of business sectors which are supported by ERP solutions is given. The described method for the estimation of size was applied over this business sectors list. Then, an estimation of the number of common elements which are part of the structure of the observed business sectors was performed. Based on the estimated number of common elements and estimated size of business sectors, the relationship between common and specific elements in the size of business sectors supported by ERP solutions was calculated.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) represents a general business application software solution which is applicable in different business operations. Therefore, it covers areas which are common to a ...certain group of business operations (e.g. manufacturing, services, financial services, public services, etc.). However, business operations, no matter if they belong to the same or different group, have specific areas which are not supported in general ERP solutions. This paper attempts to reveal which business operations are supported by specialized ERP solutions, how to measure the size of specialized ERP producers, how many business operations are supported by ERP producers on average, and whether there are any classifications of ERP producers based on the number of supported business operations.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are often used by companies to automate and enhance their business processes. The capabilities of ERP systems can be described by best-practice reference ...models. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the business process renovation approach with the use of reference models. Although the use of reference models brings many positive effects for business, they are still rarely used in Slovenian small and medium-sized companies. The reasons for this may be found in the reference models themselves as well as in project implementation methodologies. In the article a reference model based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV is suggested. The reference model is designed using upgraded BPMN notation with additional business objects, which help to describe the models in more detail.
