Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become integral to modern organizations, enabling the seamless integration and automation of core business processes, including finance, human resources, sales, and manufacturing. However, ERP implementation remains a complex, multi-phase endeavor characterized by significant technical and organizational challenges. This study presents a systematic analysis of the critical success factors (CSFs) influencing successful ERP deployments, synthesizing insights from extensive literature and real-world case studies. Key technical factors identified include comprehensive system architecture design, effective data migration and validation strategies, rigorous system testing and quality assurance, and scalable infrastructure deployment. Organizational factors such as strong executive sponsorship, effective stakeholder engagement, structured change management frameworks, and strategic vendor alignment are also highlighted as pivotal to success. Addressing technical issues such as data consistency, system interoperability, and process automation requires meticulous project planning and continuous performance monitoring. By aligning technical execution with strategic business objectives, organizations can mitigate implementation risks, enhance system reliability, and optimize long-term return on investment. This review provides a consolidated technical and strategic framework to guide practitioners and researchers in achieving successful ERP implementation.
