Abstract
Few years ago, the usage of information technology in Education field was relatively simple and limited. However, as we progress into a more integrated world wherein the technology has become an integral part of the business processes, the process of managing of information has become more and more complicated. Today, one of the biggest challenges that educational institutions face is the explosive growth of educational data and to use this data to improve its management. ERP systems are considered to be the largest software applications adopted by most of the educational organizations along with some investments in their implementation. However, less research activities have been done regarding the ERP systems in a university environment. An increasing number of higher education institutions have introduced ERP systems in order to improve their operations and make them manageable and more transparent. ERP vendors are also aware of this fact, which is the reason they have already expanded their solutions in order to satisfy the needs of higher education institutions. ERP systems for higher education are developed in the direction of support for key administrative and academic services. The core of such a system usually supports minimal student administration, human resource management (monitoring of employees) and finance (accounting, payments and investments, budget) by incorporating the features of the system. This paper aims in descriptive study of implications of ERP systems in educational organizations. Its main objective is to analyze what role the ERP system plays in educational organizations and how it is helpful for them. Keywords—Enterprise Resource Planning System, Higher Education, Implementation, User level, ERP I.
