Sažetak
On the one hand, the construction industry is project-oriented with a focus on Project Planning, Project Management, Project Execution and Project Control. Furthermore, construction projects are transient in nature, variable in duration and costs, and require different internal or external resources. On the other hand, the construction industry is inefficient in making successful organizational changes (e.g. reengineering of processes or accepting new technologies). Regardless of the resistance to new technologies, e.g. Information Technologies (IT), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been used within construction companies to improve resource efficiency and eliminate waste. As ERP systems are processoriented tools which are not initially developed for construction industry, nowadays different applications for the construction industry are being developed, e.g. construction ERP (CERP) software. Introducing an ERP system to a construction organization demands organizational change and re-engineering of business processes. Therefore, this research investigates the current development of CERP systems as well as their successful integration with the current business setting. Finally, further research involves exploring information exchange between construction ERP modules but also information integration of ERP system and other existing information systems (BIM modules, Project Management modules) within a construction company. At the end, this study proposes a framework for future research.
