Integration of Business Intelligence and Enterprise Resource Planning within Organizations

Organizations have invested a considerable amount of resources in the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business Intelligence (BI) systems. In today's competitive environment within the context of complex BI and ERP, these systems have become key strategic tools, which directly impact on the success of any project implementation. But little attention has been given for the integration of Business Intelligence and Enterprise Resource Planning (BIERP). A hand full of studies were carried out in the developed countries while developing countries received much less attention. Despite the effort has been devoted to explain the integration of these systems, the literature is still classified as fragmented and diversified. This paper attempts to review and evaluate articles published between 2000 and 2012 regarding the integration of BI and ERP.
