Abstract: Current research concerning information systems demonstrates how the systems in question are used in different enterprises, yet little is revealed about the key criteria for choosing a particular system by a given company. The aim of this article is to show the deciding factors as well as investigate the primary motivation behind adopting a specific information system by a given enterprise. A company whose long-term aim is to implement an information system pays attention to a variety of factors –from usability, i.e. the extent to which a particular solution may be useful in regular business activity, through technical aspects and elasticity, to cost analysis, including maintenance expenses following the implementation of the system adopted. Furthermore, the author of the article attempts to systemize the benefits of choosing specific IT systems by a company. The research conducted among more than 100 enterprises proves that the decision as to which IT system should be implemented is reached taking into account a range of independent factors. The benefits resulting from choosing a given system over the other enhance the company’s competitiveness, enabling the enterprise to expand in a dynamic business environment.
