This paper presents an extension of the SLC model for ERP packages that features an equal emphasis on the activities performed by the ERP adopting company and the ERPs vendor.
Abstract
The traditional information system life cycle (SLC) focuses on the activities performed by a company developing, implementing and maintaining software for its own internal use. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software packages change the SLC in several important ways. This paper presents an extension of the SLC model for ERP packages. The ‘divided software life cycle’ (DSLC) model features an equal emphasis on the activities performed by the ERP adopting company and the ERP vendor.
