  • Why ERP vendors are focussing on SME's
  • Barriers to implementation of ERP systems in SME's
  • How the ERP vendors can overcome these barriers i.e. the strategies used.
  • A brief explanation of SaaS technology
  • An example of one vendor's SaaS offering
  • Case Studies

 

Your task is produce a 3000 - 4000 word research paper which discusses the issues relating to the above.  The paper should demonstrate a depth and breadth of reading and should be appropriately referenced.  The paper should be referenced using the Harvard referencing standards and formatting according to the approved style guide.
