ERP-systems is a relatively new system-solution in the corporate world. It was not until the 1990s that system vendors began to develop what we today refer to as an ERP-system. The foundation for the creation of ERP-systems was set 30 years earlier in the 1960s when MRP (Material Resource Planning System) systems began to handle complex business scheduling and planning of materials. An ERP-system, also known as Enterprise Resource Planning System, is an essential part of organizations and exists to facilitate and organize business processes and project planning within the organization. Investing in an implementation of an ERPsystem can often be an expensive and time-consuming project that easily exceeds both budget and timeframe. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to analyse a specific implementation project of an ERP-system at ALTEN Sweden. The intention with this thesis is to identify the key factors that contributed to the successful implementation at ALTEN Sweden. We chose to conduct a total of three interviews at ALTEN Sweden. The respondents contributed with different views of the implementation project due to their different positions within the organization. This study resulted in seven key factors that contributed to the success of ALTEN Sweden's implementation project. We identified these key factors through a review of the empirical material and by comparing it to the literature.
