Introduction

This study examines the case of UNI, a university with over 30,000 students and about 5,000 staff. UNI first adopted Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in the form of SAP systems in 1992. Since then, it has initiated several other SAP projects, each taking UNI one step closer to having a university-wide network of SAP systems.

As UNI's latest SAP project, the university's Human Resources Department (HRD) began rolling out the SAP Time Management (TM) module project in March 2003. This module will support UNI's staff leave system, and is HRD's second SAP project after its SAP Personnel Administration (PA) project in 2001.
