Summary/Abstract: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a great solution to many cutting-edge businesses if implemented successfully and if not will cause a gigantic destruction in the organization. This research paper describes the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) in ERP system implementation across the three implementation stages in Sohar University which are pre-implementation stage, implementation stage, and post-implementation stage. A case study approach was used to investigate the perceptions of the key stakeholders in the university to pinpoint the CSFs of the ERP project. Based on a review of the ERP literature and in-depth interviews with the key stakeholders, 10 CSFs for ERP implementation have been identified. These findings extend our understanding of the CSFs that are perceived as critical for the key stakeholders involved in introducing, installing, and updating ERP system I higher education setting.
