ERP systems adoption leads to a significant change
in the information processing environment at the
organization. The transition from fragmented ad hoc
systems to integrated systems allows for automated
and document flows, eliminate replications and the
resulting inconsistencies in the data. They allow for
built in controls to data verification and data
integrity. Yet these systems are complex and require
significant effort in implementing and specialized
skills in customizing in maintaining the systems. ERP
adoption thus lead to new risks during both during
implementation and operational stages.
