Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems present a holistic view of the business from single information and IT architecture. But ERP systems are comprehensive, huge and complex systems and warrant careful planning and execution not ensure the successful implementation. A business process is set of interrelated activities which have definable inputs result in output that adds value from a custom perspective. Business Process Management (BPM) is a structured approach to understand, analyze, support, and continuously improve fundamental process. In order to improve the success rate of ERP in project implementation, enterprises often implement BPM before or during the ERP implementation. In this paper, a framework for integration ERP system into BPM system is proposed. The framework closes the gap between ERP system and BPM system, enables full life-cycle of process centric enterprise system implementation. © 2013 IEEE.
