Critical implementation factors in higher education ERPs

In this paper we have analyzed some critical implementation factors of an ERP project implementation in universities. Taking into consideration that for industry implementations there are already many performed studies we started by considering university implementations as a particular case for the industry ones. Starting from this, we have identified differences, particular elements and situations for the case of universities. The results of this study will be used in developing an evaluation framework of ERP solutions for higher education management.
