Introduction
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is seamlessly integrated computer-
based application used to manage internal and external resources,
including tangible assets, financial resources, materials, and human
resources covering all the functions and processes of an enterprise/
institution. It is a software architecture whose purpose is to
facilitate the flow of information between all business functions
within and across the boundaries of the organization and manage the
connections and interaction with outside stakeholders. Even in
Education sector, it is playing a tactical role in designing and
managing academic resources. Education institutions and universities
all over the world are facing challenges in designing robust
Enterprise Resource Planning applications and methodologies to align
themselves with the expectations of students and other stakeholders.
The existing standard Enterprise Resource Planning solutions are
proprietary, inflexible, and expensive to implement in Academia. Thus,
there is a growing demand for action-oriented research to provide
insights into the challenges, issues, and solutions related to the
design, development, implementation and management of education
institutions’ resources through Enterprise Resource Planning
applications. Education sector, being a huge service sector and having
a high social and economic impact value with its unique set of
challenges, has a high potential for using ERP application. In the
academic sector and the fields of information systems and management,
there exists a need for an edited collection of articles in this
area.

Objective of the Book
This book will aim to suggest Enterprise Resource Planning frameworks
for the academic sector along with their applications and
methodologies to improve effectiveness and efficiency of processes
including teaching-learning processes, and to enhance student-centric
and stakeholders related services.
