Sažetak
ERP customization and implementation requires significant resources and it is timely and complex project. ERP implementation became extremely demanding for SMEs because such projects generally include modifications, with all inherent risks of software development process. In this paper the relations between impact of the amount of ERP changes and the scheduling of these changes on key project parameters is presented. The study was conducted in four medium-size companies in Croatia, which are similar in organization and operations, and all have successfully completed the implementation of one and the same ERP system. Data for analysis were collected during the project implementations. The results showed the expected large impact of ERP modifications on the project duration. However, it was found that the wise dividing of modifications into two phases and their good planning can significantly affect the duration and cost of the project.
