Abstract: In this research, the selection and implementation of ERP Systems will be discussed. The ERP concept, the selection process, and the importance of selecting a certain ERP solution for the companies will also be dealt with. However, implementation of ERP software brings not only benefits, but also incurs costs. After the literature review of ERP implementation strategies, a survey is reviewed that was conducted among several large and mid-size companies that adopted SAP, one of the major ERP solutions, in their businesses in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey. The focus of the survey will be on different aspects of SAP implementation, such as struggles that have been faced during its implementation and its benefits following implementation. In the final section, a comparison is made between Turkish and Bosnian companies. While the study indicates some differences in implementation strategies and major benefits, similarities between the two countries are more pronounced.
