involved.

Review of Literature
My reference material comes from the existing system information that the
company has. There is no such general information regarding this aspect
because it relates to the internal affairs of the company.My present research
deals with finding the flaws and trying to come to a conclusion whether an
enhanced variant of the present system would be advantageous or not.
Population size
The study encompasses all the employees of the software enterprises.
.
The questionnaire for research included a combination of the following kinds of question
Close-ended
Direct question
The questionnaire proved out to be very helpful in conducting the survey.
Primary data will be collected through questionnaire survey. In this method questionnaire was
prepared and given to the sample population to fill.
Field work
The fieldwork was the data collection by contacting the respondents personally at their
respective work desks. And few of the information gathered were through E-mailed
questionnaires.
2.3 Method of Analysis
The data collected through questionnaire and the records available was examined in detail. It
was further tabulated with various statistical tests.
RP and the articles and news items in the media, have made ERP the latest buzz word. Hundreds of professionals want to join the ERP band wagon
Conclusions
Most companies treat ERPs as projects, with the assumption that some day the
projects will end. But an enterprise system is not a project; its a way of life. No
organization can say we were finished and few ever will. There will always be new
modules and versions to install, acquire or divested business units to deal with and
better fits to be achieved between the business and the system. Even if an
organization could declare final victory on implementation of ERPs, many additional
years could be spend in getting real business value from them. However, an
organization can only get the maximum value of these inputs, if it successfully adopts
and effectively uses their system.
Most of them says that they get their time saved by using the existing system.
Majority of the respondents says that they can access the system simultaneously.
The hype and the mystical aura that surrounds ERP and the articles and news items
in the media, have made ERP the latest buzz word. Hundreds of professionals want
to join the ERP band wagon. Clearly ERP is a hotter-than-hot field right now.
