Within the hype of cloud computing, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) is receiving more focus from ERP vendors. ERP vendors have for many years developed and sold ERP as ‘standard software’ that fits the needs of many firms, and now SaaS as a new approach to deliver software has emerged. In this study the value propositions of software as a service...
In this article we introduce GMU, a genuine partial replication protocol for transactional systems, which exploits an innovative, highly scalable, distributed multiversioning scheme. Unlike existing multiversion-based solutions, GMU does not rely on a global logical clock, which represents a contention point and can limit system scalability. Also, GMU never aborts read-only transactions and spares...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Social Networks Analysis (SNA) aspects in general are currently experiencing an increasing interest from both the academic and business communities. Select and map information to ensure competitive advantage to an organization, alongside managing the exponential flow and the high volume of transactions in ERP, generates high value for firms at the forefront...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and firms performance aspects are currently experiencing an increasing interest from both the academic and business communities. Based on the resource-based view (RBV) theory this paper develops a research model to measure and examine determinants of ERP value in regards to the impact on small and medium enterprise (SME) performance. The model gathers industry...
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) use and ERP value are of high interest among both academia's as well as practitioners. Despite different views of gained value from implemented ERP, there are some studies focusing in larger companies, however, few studies report on challenges experienced by Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). Based on diffusion of innovation (DOI) literature and resource-based...
Nowadays, distributed in-memory caches are increasingly used as a way to improve the performance of applications that require frequent access to large amounts of data. In order to maximize performance and scalability, these platforms typically rely on weakly consistent partial replication mechanisms. These schemes partition the data across the nodes and ensure a predefined (and typically very small)...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in general are currently experiencing an increasing interest from both the academic and business communities. This paper examines the relative influence of eight KPIs determinants and the use of ERP in Portuguese Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Through a web survey, data was collected and validated from 85 firms...
