Sumario:Since the study of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is a new area, there is very little theoretical or empirical research on the topic. Limited studies have been conducted in the past. Now, due to the magnitude of the ERP phenomenom, the need for such studies has become very apparent. With regard to research on ERP-related topics, we have found a large scope of research issues and a great number of influencing variables, which we have here attempted to organize into a framework. Thus, this research report sets out to list, define and categorize the research issues relating to ERP systems within an ERP life-cycle process framework. The framework is structured in phases and dimensions. The phases are the different stages of an ERP system life-cycle within an organization, and the dimensions are the different viewpoints by which the phases could be analyzed. Finally, we make an analysis of the ERP issues from the ERP vendors perspective.
