Enterprise Resource Planning (Erp) Systems Are an Integralcomponent of It Infrastructure In Many Organizations. a Recent Trend For Erp Isthe Shift from On-Premises Infrastructure to the Cloud Environment Throughutilization of Cloud Computing Technologies. the Characteristics of Cloudcomputing Induces Many Promises to Cloud-Based Erp Systems - Making ‘Cloud Erp’A Favourable Alternative to On-Premises Erp Systems. However, Moving Erpsystems into the Cloud Also Presents Many Challenges. This Paper Aims Toevaluate the Promises and Challenges of Cloud-Based Erp Systems from a Reviewof the Literature and Propose a Framework to Be of Utility For It Executivesand Researchers to Assess the Key Promises and Challenges of Cloud Environmentsfor Erp Systems. the Contribution of This Paper Is Threefold. First, Weidentify a Set of Key Promises and Challenges to Help It Decision Makers Andresearcher to Gain a Better Understanding of Cloud Computing and Erp. Second,Our Framework Identifies Four Dimensions of Cloud Erp to Be Assessed:Efficiency, Flexibility, Ubiquity, and Security. We Propose That All These Dimensionsencompass Promises and Challenges to Varying Degrees. Third, We Proposeresearch Opportunities For Is Researchers In the Domain of Cloud-Based Erpsystems Based on the Identified Four Dimensions. Erp Provides Businesses Flow Management and Includesmanufacturing, Accounting, Sales and Customer Relationship Management. the Newict Technology, Cloud Computing, Offers an Alternative For ...
