Assessing the Contribution of ERP Systems to Strategic Success: An Empirical Study on Jordanian Banks

Open access
This study aimed to identify the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, across their various dimensions, on strategic success within Jordanian banks. This paper adopted a descriptive-analytical approach and relied on a questionnaire for data collection from the study sample. A total of (200) questionnaires were distributed, and 160 were subjected to data analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results were positive, indicating a high relative importance for ERP systems across all their dimensions, as well as a high relative importance for strategic success in all its dimensions within this study. The study concluded that there is a positive impact of ERP systems’ dimensions on the dimensions of strategic success in Jordanian banks. Based on these findings, the paper presented a set of recommendations, such as the necessity of continuous efforts to keep pace with the most significant technological developments, including the field of Enterprise Resource Planning systems.
