From Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to Universities Resource Planning (URP)

ABSTRACT

The article discusses and analyses the importance of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) principles in the University environment. It is crucial to properly evaluate and assess the effectiveness of the university's administrative and academic staff performances as an organizational form. In the last couple of years, besides the negative impact, COVID-19 positively impacted the technological development at the HEIs. So, the ERP system remains a powerful program that allows businesses to systematize all important processes. Drastically, doing so reduces costs and the possibility of making mistakes, thereby increasing efficiency and profitability. The ERP system comprises the main sections of an organization, such as financial, human resources, production, logistics, etc., but to the present does not cover the whole university's administrative and learning activities. Thus, most HEIs effectively implement technologies and E-Systems but, in most cases, are fragmented and do not cover whole university activities. The purpose of the article is to create one united platform based on an ERP system, whereby we will get the new model of the University Recourse Planning (URP) system and will be implemented and facilitate the unified digital database, improvement of university efficiency, less bureaucracy, delayed decisions and the and quality improvement. As a result, all the data will be shown as a "Dashboard" to the top management of HEI, which will perceive information about the weaknesses and gaps for achieving specific objectives. © 2022 IAMUC.
