Abstract

The present research is aimed at to do research on energy utilization by SMEs of virtual ERPs. Economic performances of the SME sector have proved its contribution to nation building through the increased contribution to GDP, huge employment generation, equitable allocation resources and facilitate inclusive growth. Based upon the backbone of SMEs, virtual ERP is rising rapidly. The business strategy that virtual ERP follows incorporates the production of huge amount of data. Hence, an attempt has been made in this research to identify the broad parameters which are indicative of the success of the virtual ERP implementation in the Indian context. The identified parameters of adoption of Enterprise Systems (ES) in the Indian organizations are needed to put as factors in developing generic model. The construct of the theoretical model would help us to develop the optimization model in terms of cost, energy efficiency and resource utilization. Loss of huge amount of energy in order to manage ‘Big data’ produced by the cloud ERPs is becoming a challenge towards the establishment of sustainable business model.
