• ERP implementation process
• Risk management
• Maturity

In recent years the ERP project implementation has become one of the most investments in IT for firms. Given its complexity and the massive use of resources needed, the ERP implementation project is subject to a high risk of failure. Therefore the adoption of an approach based on risk management appears to be essential, but considerably difficult and uncertain.
The general objective of this study was to develop a model that aims to assess the readiness of organization to implement the ERP system. Based on articles collected from the main trends of literature, it was possible to identify the key dimensions of analysis and create a simple framework for evaluating companies. Measuring their current level of maturity, the model provides information about their strengths and weaknesses and encourage them to implement actions to raise their degree of maturity and thus to increase the probability of success of ERP.
