A Review on Cloud and Mobile Enterprise Resource Planning Systems

This article presents a review on the state-of-the-art of cloud and mobile ERP systems. This review was focused on the most outstanding contributions on the field. That is, it considers only papers published in journal indexed in the Journal Citation Reports. With respect to cloud ERP systems, in the literature it was found that the main contribution of the papers was in general focused on the following fashions: i) Factors, challenges, and frameworks for adoption, implementation, or migration of cloud ERP systems. ii) Role of cloud ERP systems on the organizational performance. iii) Development or design related to cloud ERP systems. Most of the papers were dedicated to the first fashion, whereas few papers have treated the third fashion. On the other hand, just three papers regarding mobile ERP systems were found. Another observation from the review is that cloud and mobile ERP systems are relatively new technologies on which the research interest by the information management, computing systems engineering, and IT community started around 2014. Most important observation from literature of the subjects of interest is that existing reviews are focused just on effective usage, adoption, and challenges of cloud and mobile ERP systems. In contrast to such reviews, the here proposed one contributes by performing a more completely review. Thus, it could be helpful to identify a lack or gap of knowledge and, in consequence, could orientate towards future research.
