Abstract

In light of higher education institutions (HEIs) need to implement intelligent, innovative systems for their digital strategic transformation to stay competitive, the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system can tailor solutions to such technological problems through its integration characteristic. The present study sheds light on the emergence of enablers and inhibitors, explaining technological readiness insight for ERP adoption. The study aims to understand better ERP readiness among HEIs to ease the substantial change required for the adoption process. The findings show a profound perception of ERP systems among 112 Egyptian HEIs, demonstrating that HEIs are technologically ready for adoption. Results reveal that HEIs have positive ERP readiness, although HEIs’ managers are still uncertain and expect some ERP inhibitors. Therefore, ERP adoption is principally contingent on perceiving enablers and eliminating any inhibitors comprising ERP technological readiness. This study delivers practical verification to the higher education context by advancing ERP concepts and characteristics from the HEIs’ perspective. This study, finally, suggests that ERP adoption is beneficial for HEIs
