Research & Publications Office to host seminar on Cloud-Native ERP Adoption on 02 July

The seminar will be led by Prof. Uday Murthy, University of South Florida

30 June, 2026, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) will host a seminar on ‘Do Architectural Differences in ERP Systems Matter? Evidence from Cloud-Native ERP Adoption’ to be led by Prof. Uday Murthy, Finance & Accounting area, University of South Florida, on 02 July at 12 PM, in Classroom P-22.

Abstract:

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are central to organisational operations, yet prior research has largely treated ERP adoption as a uniform event. This study examines whether differences in ERP system architecture are associated with variations in firm performance. Using data on Workday ERP implementations from Global Software Leads, the research compares firms adopting a cloud-native ERP system with those continuing to use traditional legacy ERP systems. Because Workday's architecture closely aligns with the Resource–Event–Agent (REA) framework, it offers a unique setting to evaluate the economic implications of ERP architecture.

Employing a difference-in-differences research design, the study finds that firms adopting Workday experience significant improvements in operating efficiency relative to firms using legacy ERP systems. These gains are more pronounced among organisations with higher labour intensity, greater organisational complexity, and stronger product market competition. Additional analyses indicate improvements in internal control quality and workforce-related outcomes. Overall, the findings suggest that ERP architecture can have significant economic consequences for organisational performance.
