What are issues of legacy systems?

They keep the data of the company in several places, leading to a fragmented system environment.

What are the main advantages of ERP-systems for large companies, especially international group firms?

The central database of the ERP collects data from and feeds data into modular applications supporting virtually all of a company's business activities-across functions, across business units, across the world. When new information is entered in one place, related information is automatically updated.

What is the impact of ERP systems on the organization of a firm (structure and processes)?

Processes of the company must be adopted to the standard of the ERP vendor, this can pose a threat for the company if those processes contributed to the competitve advantage of the company. Solution: customize ERP or extend it with tailormade software.

What are the risks related to the use of ERP systems in a company?

That the company adjusts a core process to an ERP system, losing its competitve advantage and its potential to innovate.

When should a company choose the "reengineering approach" (= change the firms' processes to match the software work-flows) and when the "customization approach" (= adapt the software)?

Reengineering if the process is not relevant to the competitive advantage of the company, i.e. support processes. If the company has a unique process which is better than the standard process supported by the ERP, it should custimze the software to its needs.
