The Role of Blockchain, Big Data and Cloud Computing in Modern ERP Implementation


La Ode Abdul Manan, La Panga and Mahmoud A. Mahmoud


Abstract: Modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are achieving significant advancements in scalability, data processing, security, and transparency through the integration of cloud computing, big data analytics, and blockchain technology. This research examines the transformative impact of these technologies on ERP implementations within Polish enterprises. Through an extensive organizational survey, we investigate: 1) current levels of technological knowledge, 2) organizational readiness for adoption, and 3) perceived business impacts. The study provides novel insights into the crucial role played by public sector initiatives in facilitating widespread technology adoption, particularly emphasizing their influence on organizational readiness and policy-driven incentives. Furthermore, the research identifies critical implementation challenges such as infrastructure constraints, resistance to organizational change, resource limitations, and highlights significant security and privacy concerns associated with each technological approach. These comprehensive findings offer valuable contributions to both the theoretical understanding of technology integration frameworks and practical implementation strategies, especially for deploying next-generation ERP systems within transitional economies. By addressing these multifaceted aspects, the study equips policymakers, business leaders, and IT practitioners with actionable knowledge to navigate the complexities inherent in large-scale digital transformations.
