Composable ERP Architecture: The Future of a Scalable and Adaptive Enterprise Systems Approach (Published)
The rapid evolution of business environments has necessitated rethinking traditional Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, which often struggle with flexibility and adaptability. This paper examines the transformative concept of composable ERP architecture, which offers a more scalable and adaptable framework for enterprise systems. Unlike monolithic ERPs, which can be rigid and challenging to customize, composable ERP architectures enable organizations to assemble, modify, and integrate various functional components tailored to their needs. By examining the historical progression of ERP systems, from Material Resource Planning (MRP) to modern cloud-based solutions, this paper highlights the limitations of traditional systems, including vendor lock-in and high customization costs. As the market demands agility and rapid innovation, composable ERP emerges as a vital solution, fostering the operational efficiency and responsiveness necessary for contemporary businesses. Through a modular approach, organizations can enhance their decision-making capabilities, streamline processes, and adapt to changing market conditions, thereby positioning themselves for sustainable success in a competitive landscape. The paper concludes by outlining the key principles and benefits of a composable ERP architecture and discussing future research directions.

LITERATURE BASED REVIEW – RISKS IN ERP SYSTEMS INCLUDING ASIAN COUNTRIES (Published)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are widely used in nowadays to manage resources, communication and data exchange between different departments and modules with the purpose of managing the overall business process of the organization using one integrated software system. Due to the large scale and the complexity nature of these systems, many ERP implementation projects have become disasters in the history of ERP. Since an ERP requires many resources such as financial, human resources, time, computer hardware and software, a failure can menace the entire business organization. The aim of this survey is to identify risks associated with the ERP projects, general and security within the Asian region, so that the parties responsible for the project can take necessary precautions to deal with those risks for a successful ERP implementation.
