Due to dramatic changes in organisational management, technology plays an important role in today business environment. According to Groomer & Murthy (1989) incorporation of information technology solutions are becoming increasingly important for all businesses in order to operate successfully. One way that many businesses have implemented information technology on a large scale (Groomer & Murthy, 1989) is by setting up Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to achieve their business transaction and data processing needs. According to the business need, selecting the appropriate information system such as Enterprise resource planning (ERP) will be appropriate and suitable because it improves efficiency. However it should be borne in mind that every business has its own dimension; therefore, there is the dire need of appropriate selection and need based customizations (Kleiner et al., 1999).

In addition, Julien & Raymond (1994) rightfully pointed out that researchers have shown that more "technology-consuming" firms are distinguished from others by: greater profitability, the differential cost of new equipment, the management profile or the owner-manager's personal characteristics, organizational complexity, centralization and formalization, strategy type and the quality of technological information obtained together with the capacity to process it. However, Sheng Choua & Hao Hong (2013) noted that after implementation of ERP systems many organisations have realised that these systems was not as successful as been expected. Main aim of this review is to provide information on ERP systems, to identify risks involved in using of ERP systems and limitations and benefits of implementing ERP.

    The purpose of implementing an ERP system in a company is when the company isn’t operating efficiently. Look at it like this, when your body is sick, you know you need to take medicine, you just can’t stand the taste. And in the same matter when your company isn’t operating efficiently, you’ve got to take steps to correct it. Most companies just fear the disruption, the learning, and the cost and the inconvenience of it all. “Another way to look at or understand ERP is cars have dashboards so the driver can get to where he or she wants to go. Airports have control towers to make sure everything and everyone gets to where they need to be. All of your typical individual machines have control panels so you can make them do what they are supposed to do”. (Jones, W (2006, 01).
