Abstract
This paper uses a database, derived from a data repository, in order to do an analysis of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system benefits. ERP benefits are important for a number of reasons, including establishing a match between what ERP systems benefits are—as compared to ERP expectations—setting a benchmark for other firms, and measuring those benefits. ERP benefits also are central to the business case for deciding whether a firm will invest in an ERP system. It is found that some benefits vary across industry, while others seem to be important to firms independent of industry. In particular, tangible benefits are largely industry-independent, while intangible benefits vary across industry. In addition, when compared to an earlier study by Deloitte Consulting, the results are statistically consistent with their findings, but find substantial additional intangible benefits.
