Organisations that have already made huge investment in Enterprise Resource

Planning (ERP) systems now face the decision whether to continue maintaining the existing

systems or to invest in upgrades. This paper uses an Irish organisation which has recently

decided to upgrade its system, as its case study. Due to the expected cost, the high level of

customisation of its existing system, its lack of confidence in newer upgrades available and the

risk of business disruption, this organization had avoided upgrading its ERP system since it was

first implemented over twelve years ago. Now the company believes that an upgrade will

enhance its competitiveness and align itself to its parent company’s system.
