The implementation of large IT-systems is a complex area where many aspects have to be taken into account.KSU, Kärnkraftssäkerhet och Utbildning AB, is a small company in the Vattenfall group that is increasingly being urged to implement SAP, one of the largest ERP-systems on the market. Vattenfalls purpose with SAP is to centralize certain processes within economy that are common to all the companies in the group, this to gain benefits with economics of scale. However, KSU is not convinced that SAP is a suitable system and that the common processes apply to them.The purpose of this degree project is to investigate if SAP is a suitable system and if KSU will benefit from a transition to SAP. Three perspectives were applied to further specify important areas of the main question. From a technical point of view KSU:s demands on a system was mapped against SAP. An economic perspective was applied to reveal how much it would cost to implement SAP and what the running costs would be. Finally, the main question was examined with organizational changes in mind. The fact that implementations of ERP-systems comes with organizational changes is a well know fact and a critical issue to address when judging if a system is suitable. The final part of the report is more analytical in character as it focuses on giving recommendations on the question and how KSU should proceed with their work with IT.
