Abstract
Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) comprises the dominant business information systems currently implemented in the global market. In this survey, the authors explore the adoption of these systems in enterprises that operate in the Greek market. The scope of the adoption is focused on the level of business processes, in terms of the incentives and the real benefits, that ERP applications offer to enterprises. The survey indicated significant results in the areas of the transformation of incentives for adoption to actual benefits, and on the significance of business process reengineering before the implementation of the systems. Other interesting results are focused on the business use of those systems, the future enhancements, and their contribution in solving the issue of fragmentation of information in disparate legacy applications.
